Posters in Amsterdam

Design study, anthropological investigation, or just urban environment observations? Posters in Amsterdam is a project that takes a collective look at the advertising allsorts that line the heresaid city’s streets.

An initiative by art director Jarr Geerligs, the project creates an interesting mosaic out of the day-to-day sight of large format print ads. For a closer look, posters can be viewed on a larger scale individually upon clicking on them. Not just about the aesthetics, the site also features interviews with some key local poster designers about the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of poster design.

Fresh Guacamole: a brilliant stop-motion video by PES

It seems like everyone and their canary thinks that they have what it takes to become the world’s best amateur chef.  Talk a lot about ‘depth of flavours’, cry a little bit on camera to show your passion, slide right into a book deal and a TV show that lasts about two seasons. The artist known as PES has stripped the art of cooking right back: no famous faces, no fancy dishes. In fact,no real ingredients. Read more
