Helvetica / Blow-Up
Fifty Years of Helvetica
Design Museum London
Note: not to be confused with Blow-Up, a lecture we did in 2003, in Barcelona.
Most of the Helvetica-related projects we did around 2007 (see Helvetica / Hustwit, Helvetica / Kriterion and Helvetica / Blu-ray) were connected to Helvetica, the documentary directed by Gary Hustwit. The 'Fifty Years of Helvetica' project, however, was completely Hustwit-free.
In March 2007, we were approached by Mark Blamire (of Blanka), who asked us if we wanted to contribute to a poster exhibition celebrat...

The Internet Paintings
Towards the end of 2006, artist Miltos Manetas asked us to design the invitation of The Internet Paintings, a show that would take place in January/February 2007 at the Blow de la Barra Gallery, London.

He invited 12 designers to create posters for him, two posters each. The first poster would be hanging in Atelier Cardenas Bellange, and would announce the show at...

104 / Le Cent Quatre
Part 2
104 (Le Cent Quatre) is a French cultural institute for which we designed the graphic identity and the sign system (or better said, we created the graphic manual, for other designers to work with). The first part of this assignment was done in 2007; to make sense of the whole story, you should really first read 104 / Le Cent Quatre 1.
Below are some notes about the second part of the project, the part we did in 2008. It is just a small selection; to see a larger amount of work, you can download the PDF at t...
