Academic research report
Client: Montessori Lyceum Amsterdam
A research report series with a challenging criterion: to be produced by the institution’s in-house reproduction department with basic production means at low costs.
To prevent the reports from carrying a cheap do-it-yourself appearance, the cover white ink printing and die cut were professionally executed to serve as the series’ chief visual component. Each individual report’s title slip, inside printing, and binding were carried out by the in-house reproduction department.



Professionally executed white ink printing and die cut hole combined with internally produced color-copied title slip, inside printing, and binding.

Award check
Client: Premsela Dutch Design Foundation (now part of The New Institute)
To stimulate critical thinking among design students, Morf (a periodical on design literature) organized annual writing competitions. Each year, three winners were selected and given cash awards with their winning essays published in Morf.
The award check integrated Morf magazine’s established typographic language with visual characteristics of traditional checks and banknotes. Each winning essay’s full content was printed on the backside, echoing the small print found often on official documents.
