young voters rock!

The Young People and Politics Foundation was founded to bridge the gap between youth and politics on Curacao. Besides running a blog and a Facebook page the decided to launch a magazine to inform the young voters about our political system, its parties and why it is important to vote. Also a Debate was held between they youngest people from all political parties. They asked yours truly to design the magazine and the invitation. Pictured above are the cover, some spreads and the poster/flyer for the debate.

leave no idea behind!

You have this great idea just when you nearly fall asleep. Then you wake up in the morning and it's gone. Chances to end world hunger by next year have gotten a bit smaller unfortunately.

Well, not anymore more in 2010. Because that's where the 'ejpeg >> boon means business' idea catcher®' comes in. A handy little fellow with pages of sheer white space to jot down all your good ideas. (And the bad ones too. Just sort 'em out later ;-)

They will be distributed in the coming weeks and if you haven't gotten one by mid January let me know, I'll send you one for free*. As for now; an inspired 2010!

*Sorry! Due to high demand they're all gone…

make your organisation run better

“All organizations now say routinely that people are our greatest asset
Yet few practice what they preach, let alone truly believe it.”
- Peter Drucker -

At InfoCapital they help you get the best out of your organisation. To give you an idea of what they can do for you, this brochure was developed. Years of experience, tens of trainings & courses and lots of in's, out's and what-have-you's; it's all there. Call them and improve your organisation. Put into words by the Dutch master: Jan Jaap Omvlee and designed by yours truly.

rudolf looked a bit pale…

Yet another season's greetings card for Absolute Computers & Services.

united by music

Filmmaker Michel Drenthe and his crew did a wonderful job on their film 'United by Music'. A film about the Curacao part of the 'Barbulètè' (Butterfly) tour by the Ricciotti Ensemble and Izaline Calister. It was even nominated at the Moondance Filmfestival in Boulder, Colorado. So it is no wonder that ejpeg >> boon means business was proud and honored to be asked to design the title sequence of the film and the artwork for the poster and accompanying DVD.

hunting down your perfect house

The real estate market on Curacao can be a maze and feel like a trap. That's why Curacao Inspection Trip makes it easy for potential house buyers from overseas. They'll hunt down your perfect house: all you have to do is fly in and have a look. They have a nose for it, so satisfaction guaranteed. Based on the logo and website designed by Spin and SEO'd by Merlin this idea was made. It really stands out alongside all those run of the mill real estate ads and has already triggered several leads.

cut the web

SEO, Adwords, Google, affiliate marketing, internet strategy & SEA are some of the terms that describe the core business of Cut The Web, a self pro-claimed no nonsense internet marketing agency based in the Netherlands. Pictured here a business card and a screen version of the logo. The logo is based on the '://' to be found in your browser's URL window. Placed in a circle to symbolize the Internet and then divided into several pieces. Which is what Cut The Web does; to make sure that you get your own slice of the www. In an efficient way they cut the crap… eh web.

that's hot!

In August it gets really hot on Curaçao. That's when the annual Salsa Tour hits the town. With ENNIA as its main sponsor. Several items where developed including this banner and poster. Photography by Carlo Walle. Now get your **s on the dance floor!

vota si sigur

May 15th was an important day for Curacao. That day the people of our island got to vote 'Yes' or 'No' on the result negotiated by the ruling coalition regarding our autonomy. This has been a 'hot topic' during the last few months and has polarized our population. This campaign design was made under the creative direction of Jeroen Leinders, in assignment of Stradius. Focusing on young people/teenagers and getting them to vote 'Yes' (or SI) for their own future. Photography by Carlo Walle, web development by Felix iT and models by Chicas Curacao.

renting tools is fun!

When asked to make a campaign to introduce Rent It All (a company that rents heavy duty tools to builders) as a new Fun Miles partner, a cliché suddenly became pretty useful. It's a calender and also a Fun Miles ad. It features a fine looking foxy lady to boot. Make some room on the wall, gents. A joint venture with De Schrijfkeizer once again. Picture taken by Carlo Walle.

ENNIA bike classic 2009

Another year. Another Bike Classic. Nuff said.

the handyman always rings twice

The Dutch company Emailhandyman.nl was in dire need of a make over (their words ;-). But the didn't want to lose their little man at all. Pictured above (from the top down) you see the original website & logo, the restyled website & logo and a T-shirt intended to wear during courses. So it's clear to see how's the handyman in the room.

room with a view

Janssen de Jong Project Development is developing a new resort at Piscadera Bay, Curaçao. To promote this project a brochure was made where the idea behind the design and its colors are based on one of the best features of the apartments; their view. Taking the old real estate adage, "location, location, location", to heart. Pictured are the cover and two spreads from the twelve page brochure.

a mac; that's what!

Absolute Computers & Services has become official Apple Authorized Reseller & Apple Authorized Service Center and they're darn proud of it too (and they should be). This ad let's everybody know that there's a fresh dealer on Curacao. Added was a Direct Mailer. A box with two real apples, a letter and a business card; to be sent to prospects. Buy a Mac, people.

they're gigant fun miles and they're moving fast!

Yet another gas station on Curacao has joined the ever growing Fun Miles family. Gas station Sta. Rosa has the honor this time. Or Sta. Reuza as it will be referred to after this campaign, letting everybody know it's a free ride at Sta. Rosa as well. Based on those seventies monster film posters. Copy by De Schrijfkeizer of course.

merry christmas v2.0

Season's greetings card for Absolute Computers & Services.

it's so beautiful!

Seeing how beautiful your interior has become brings out very primal emotions. Project Interiors wanted to have a broad campaign to showcase all the exclusive brands and products they carry. And to position themselves as the interior experts at the same time. Co-creator: De Schrijfkeizer.

your business ally

When doing business the playing field is not always level nor fair. Then it's good to know you can count on having your bank on your side; SFT Bank. A collaboration with De Schrijfkeizer & Daphne Pas. Extra thnx to Michel Drenthe!

lyongo architecture

The architect Lyongo Juliana ventured out on his own. Uplifting our island with his creative and eclectic designs. To help him distinguish himself in the market a logo, business card and an interim website were designed. The idea behind the logo is the floor plan of a building with its rooms and corridors. Thnx to Felix!

fun within your reach!

Fun Miles Aruba wanted a catchy design for a bus. Inspired by FM's pay off 'Fun within your reach!' this idea was born. Armed with his Fun Miles card this man has an extraordinary reach to grab all the fun symbolized by the logos of FM's many Aruban partners. Special praise for Robert Eman and his team from Art&Design Aruba.

hiper hopi sen pa bo kas!

For the Mortgage Dept. of the MCB Bank: a campaign that is fresh and out of the ordinary, while still having that 'good life appeal'. Again a joint venture with De Schrijfkeizer (copy/concept), with the indispensable help & skills of Zoom AV, Carlo Walle and Jolanda Smulders. Below are some campaign items and a small look behind the scenes.

PS Hypotek is Papiamentu for mortgage. Hiper means hyper.
