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!

Year: 2009 -
Size: A1
(59,4cm x 84,1cm) This is a poster serie of a own made Plagiarism story. The story consists sentences
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.
child dies (goes down), 4. official death (funeral), 5. grieving. I've tryed to capture
these events. Below an small English summary:
The story is about a man in a van, who runs over a little girl with the rear tire. The
little girl dies instantly. The man behind the wheel goes behind bars for twenty-seven
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.
Year: 2009 -
Size: A0
(118,9cm x 84,1cm) This is a reaction poster about the elections of America.
In my point of view is the elections one big show. I made a poster with two sentences that are blocked by
stripes and stars (abstract flag).
Year: 2008 -
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.
Year: 2008 - Size diary: A5
(14,8cm x 21,0cm) - Size posters: A2 (59,4cm x 42,0cm)This is a "impression diary" (made without using the computer) about the Berlin trip that I made. What I did was the following: I put it all of my photo's, drawings and notes on the wall. After that, I made photo's of some segments as pages and used the colors of the German flag. The cover is a cutout of posters that I took from the streets of Berlin.
Year: 2008 -
Size: A5
(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.
Year: 2008 - Size promotion poster: A1
(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.
You can roll-over the highlighted words, and the will show you how many times they occur
in the whole text. Here is a mirror
Year: 2007 -
Size: A0
(118,9cm x 84,1cm) This is a tribute poster to the DIN typeface because I think it's the best typeface ever.
I've tried to capture the static feeling of the typeface, and put it into the poster.
Year: 2007 -
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
