You're Welcome!
Royal Academy of Art The Hague, NL

If I remember well, this project started because you realised that working on prestigious cultural assignments lowers your chance of achieving the bourgeois well-off existence, which according to Western conventions comprises a house, backyard and a 65-zoll 4K TV. The contradiction is that you never wanted this house; as a child you drew this house sloppily probably on purpose.

You’re Welcome! grapples with existential remnants of the dream of having a stable existence when satisfaction became our salary. 60 video clips of quarry explosions form the backdrop to a promised land and dreams gone by.

Body of Protest –
50 years of Amnesty International

Models of Opinion is a collection of miniature figurines which embody gestures of civil protest. By presenting a rich variety of body postures categorising them based upon their political message the project reflects critically on the legal implications of Article 212.1, which criminalizes peaceful protest in Russia. The presentation of an army of figurines refers to historical military miniatures that display scenes of war rather than acts of humanity. Ordinary people with opinions are heroes of our time for standing up. This Army should soon be found in future kids rooms instead.

ULTRA CLUB IS A NON-PROFIT ADVERTISING AGENCY

Ultra Club is made up of designers. With our expertise, we want to offer design-related services for local companies. Ultimately, it's about manifesting another economy: a transaction, which is not based on money but on other intangibles. A code of conduct will be the basis for the creation of trust, respect and reputation for future perspectives:

What we do is selfish - and that's a good thing. ## We do not go to a neighborhood to explore the neighborhood, not to solve their problems. ## We strive for cooperation on the level of common values. ##

"The Ultraclub is a non-profit advertising agency that has set itself the goal of generating renewed interest in the Boekhorststraat in The Hague. The first project of the Ultraclub is the BoekhorstKrant, a publication about the shops of the Boekhorststraat made in close collaboration with 42 of its retailers. In addition to its independent publicity function, this newspaper also opened the conversation between the shopkeepers and the Ultraclub, from which a series of new projects have emerged that help retailers or the environment in a concrete way through graphic design."

Identity Volkstheater Wien

Since each piece is directed by a different director, each one is also given an individual visual implementation.For this purpose, Traktor gathered 20 artists, photographers and illustrators who, based on a briefing on the respective work, designed their pictures to match. The titles of the pieces are integrated into the pictures. The redesign includes a new identity for Volkstheater - since "Volk" means "the people" we decided to bring a more human aspect into the new brand which includes a subtle face. The main logo idea generates a playground for Volkstheater's side-houses:  Volx Margareten, Volkstheater Bezirke, etc.

Multiple Identities Fatfaces RBTT @Chaumont

On Friday May 19 2017, the Salle des Fêtes in Chaumont (FR) hosted the third edition of the ULTRATATANE project which invites international artists to perform at the closing party of Festival international de l'affiche et du graphisme de Chaumont. Fatface was a visual performance including 2 big faces that changed their identity throughout the show, which questions the congruence of an artist on the stage. The two big heads have been prerecorded and controlled by code including two keyboards where each key was connected to a different short gif of the face Rebe or TT. The 200 animations were categorized in politicians, kids, robots and drag queens. During this performance both wireless keyboards were passed to different people who had the power to adapt the identity on the stage next to/ sound by Torus ✌️

Lemonaid Commercial

Lemonaid makes lemonade the way it should be. From fresh juice, organic cultivation and fair trade. By taking a good look at the Lemonaid bottle, it is easy to draw attention to the role model function of the brand. We developed a print campaign that suits Leomonaids core values in a strong yet subtle way.
