Working on kitting for a new keycap set — With Gestalt production finish I am working on my next keycap set, inspired by vintage photography and vintage photography lens hence the name Aperture Priority. This set was designed in Figma and I created a custom legends based on a monotype technical typeface. I also included familiar photography UI elements as novelty keycaps. #3d #mechanicalkeyboard

Drag-and-drop interaction for document archival — Quick mockup I made in Figma to get the idea out of my head. No project in mind. Just for fun. :)
Akuko Labs Deskmat Packaging — Plain cardboard boxes are cheaper to produce, costing nearly half as much as fully printed boxes. I also find them more elegant, especially with white ink accents. Win-win. Designed in Figma, rendered in Blender.

Newton lessen Logo — My first submit for today's design, not really from today but a visual identity project I did last year. ‘Newton lessen’ provides Science & Technology lessons and teaching materials for to primary schools in the Netherlands. I got asked to design the visual identity and make various branding materials. The brand's name, 'Newton Lessen,' pays tribute to Sir Isaac Newton, a famous scientist, astronomer and mathematician renowned for his many and important discoveries. Since Newton's work is vast and varied, I came up with the idea that Newton can’t be captured into a single symbol. Therefore I designed a dynamic and playful logo made up of four symbols, each representing something Newton discovered. F.e. an apple that symbolises the Laws of Gravity, a prism for his thoughts about the refraction of light, mathematical symbols representing calculus and the famous Newtonian telescope. #branding #science #logo
Bas de haan logo — Made a rooster for my friend Bas. His last name means rooster in dutch. The monogram is created on a grid, since he is a furniture maker and specialises in perfect corner-connections and details in his work.
