The book + van krimpen + couwel + van halem + tsemah is a research in the designer's work process.
Jan van Krimpen, Wim Crouwel and Hansje van Halem designed outstanding stamps. This book was inspired by their unique approach to design, I started with portrait illustrations of them and designed every chapter based on this portrait.
The sheets were silkscreened with the unique pattern, then the text was laser printed.
Hand binded, Hard cover, open spine.
The last chapter is showing my stamp design. It is a transparent stamp with a printed pattern. Placing the stamps one on another will show hidden patterns, words and numbers.
