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

Tags

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.
