The Design

About Staat van Schiphol Illustrations

L'artiste a développé un nouveau style d'illustrations aux couleurs vives pour une série de magazines numériques pour l'Inspection néerlandaise de l'environnement humain et des transports. L'artiste a réalisé ces dessins au trait dans un style proche de celui de Picasso. Des sujets complexes, tels que les restrictions de construction et la pollution sonore, sont visuellement réduits à l'essentiel. Le numéro 01 du magazine et la série d'illustrations correspondante donnent des informations sur la sécurité à l'aéroport de Schiphol et aux alentours.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: A new visual language for a digital magazine about Schiphol Airport for the Dutch Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate. Continuous line drawings were made to distinct this new series from other governmental digital magazines who mainly use photographs.
Dimensions & Packaging: The illustrations are vector based and can be used in print on various sizes. The main use of the illustrations is online. So the images are converted to jpg. Because of the loading-speed, the images have a maximum dpi of 1980 x 1980. The cms will scale the images to the right proportion.
Tags: illustration, line art, art, graphic design, schiphol, airport, plane, airplane, safety, work environment, building houses, home, environment, dutch government, inspectorate,
Production Technology: The illustration were created by the artist with Adobe Illustrator software.
Design Challenge: The creative challenge was to translate (sometimes very complex) topics about safety/working/living on and around the airport into simple line drawings. To find the essence without losing recognizability.
Research: Research was based on exploring history of art and the latest trends in contemporary visual language. Not only big artists like Picasso used the simplicity of line drawings. Also prehistorical people draw simple lines in caves to visualize the essence of things.
Inspiration: The designer was inspired by the simple elegance of the corporate identity of the Dutch government. The corporate identity consists of bright cheerful colors and clear visual language. Using this simplicity to visualize complex topics into one single line seemed like a logical step.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2021 in The Hague, finished in March 2022 in The Hague and was published online March 21th 2022.
Operation Flow: The online magazine is published on the standard platform of the Dutch government.
