play at work/work at play

nieuweklasse* and OpenHaard organised an event about the value of fun and experiment in graphic design. Speakers on this subject are Harmen Liemburg and Joost Overbeek. nieuweklasse* posted an invite on there blog to design a poster. So i designed two posters, one in black and one in red, based on playing cards. I used the logo's from nieuweklasse* and OpenHaard as an symbol instead of the heart, spade, diamond and club shape. The poster can be used upside down, on one side you read Harmen Liemburg and Joost Overbeek, turned upside down you read there names in reversed order.

When thinking about the subject play at work i can't stop thinking of the talented Mieke Driessen. For me she is the embodiment of play at work. So i asked her if she was interested in making a foomp-poster with me and this is the result! With help from a lot of foomps, who all stood patiently in line to form a letter. Thanx Mieke & FoOMPS!
