Okay let me introduce myself... I am Thijs Janssen (1985) born in the Netherlands. Since my younger years I was always drawing and designing, So no surprise that I kept doing it and still do. In 2006 I started with a Graphic Design study at Willem de Kooning, Rotterdam. This has ensured thatI just love typography and graphic design more and more! Besides nothing feels better than doing stuff that I loved to do!

from different sources which together form a new story. The story can be divide in five parts. 1. nothing wrong (happy), 2. the accident, 3.

these events. Below an small English summary:

years. Here a link to the full story (sorry, it's in dutch)

Year: 2009 - logo, stationery, envelope, business card, poster. Stichting Aap is a foundation that is specialized in the care of monkeys and small exotic animals such as raccoons, skunks and cynomys. Often the animals are abused or neglected. The ultimate goal is for the animals mentally and physically healthy again, and then replacing them in a more natural environment in the form of a reserve or renowned zoo.
The concept of the identity should make clear that they accomodate more than just monkeys. It has a child-friendly feeling.

stripes and stars (abstract flag).

Size video: 720x576 (DV PAL) I've tried to capture the feeling of the sound and visualized this into an abstract film. The sound of the video is aggressive, chaotic and has a digital feeling, with these thoughts I created
the images and montaged it on the sound.

(14,8cm x 21,0cm) This is “oog” from the volkskrant website converted in to a printed booklet. Every week artists give there vision about current events and construction of the news.
The concept of the booklet is: that every year there will be a new edition with a popular subject of that year. All contributed works with the particular subject of that year will get the full space to shine. The remaining will be overloaded with newspaper articles about the particular subject.
I workt out one issue of the year 2007. The most discussed subject of that year was global warming, So I searched for sentences, quotes and facts from 70 news articles (of 2007) about global warming.

(59,4cm x 84,1cm) - Webpage These are five pages of the book: “Het zijn net mensen, Joris Luyendijk”. Translated it into a digital form. The subject of the pages that I did where about the entertainment level of news. So I made it from this point of view.

Size: A0
(118,9cm x 84,1cm)
Two posters about the power copycats and movement of group compliance.
The red poster is readable in different ways, and says the
same thing every time. The poster says: What I do, He does
too, What he does, does she too, what see does, do they too.
The black one/poster is an equivoke (double entendre) and
says something like: copycats are herd animals.
I will dump interesting things that I find on the world wide web. Mostly it will be about art, music, traveling, design, typography, gadgets and such. tjgo.nl blog
