We are VERY PROUD that we were asked to design the cover of the FAVOURITE DESIGN BOOK 2024. The international design platform posts and features an outstanding packaging design every day of the year on their socials and every year they create a book with all the publications from that year. This year we we're featured with our Brainmelt Cold Brew Coffee design and our Ol'son Gin design. They asked us to create a cover design based on the Brainmelt design, including an interview with our Creative Director. Of course they needed a photo to place with the interview, so we did a little photo-shoot to come up with the perfect picture to go with the interview.... VHD style (read differently) like always ;-) As soon as the book is revealed we will share the design results, so stay tuned!! See the link below for our complete Brainmelt story that got featured this year. https://lnkd.in/ewiyPEHz #vanheertumdesign #favouritedesign #feature #coverdesign #designplatform #designbook2024 #Brainmelt

WAIT FOR IT and the puzzle will reveal our new work for TipZ Cocktails! Say hello to the new VHD Preview Puzzle!   After working months creating the completely new brand TipZ (pronounce TipZee), we wanted to share a sneak peek with you. TipZ will bring you signature tropical cocktails like you’ve never had before—bold, chic and always a celebration in a glass. The ready to drink cans will be hitting the market at the beginning of next year. So, if you are ready for something extraordinary, keep an eye out.   As you know we like to do things differently, so we thought showing our previews, with a bit of suspense as a puzzle, would bring something new to our posts 😉.   Of course, we will share the entire work with you when they are on the market, but for now enjoy and be puzzled 😉   Please feel free to like, comment or forward if you like what you see, and send a DM if you want to know what we can do for you!   Have a great weekend, Rob ps, big thanks to Sagata Kumar for making our puzzle move!

Small efforts matter big time! Every morning I start with a bundle of emails and DM's of people who want to work for us, from all across the globe. Of course I am happy and honoured, many people feel that way about our agency and work. And in the digital age we work in, a digital message and a digital portfolio is key. BUT with just a little more effort... you just might beat the competition. Today I got a little yellow pack of coffee... Nice design, no clue why. Seems it is a same kind of message, asking for a cup of coffee to get to know each other and go through a portfolio. Maybe there would be a fit for our agency if we need freelance work. Well Jitske Vrolijk, my compliments! Nowadays these small and creative efforts are rare, but very much appreciated. Let's have a cup of coffee in January ;-) DM me about that time. Cheers Rob

Just received a big new batch of beautiful labels full of different techniques from our friends at Dagaprint for our Client Inspiration Sessions, helping clients to choose their bottle shapes, decorations and in this case label options and decorations. Our library keeps on growing being able to show our clients everything they could need, get inspired and together with us choose the strategy path towards their finalized design. This immediately shows them what is possible in production and what great results they could get. When we have finalized the design we put them in contact with the production companies of their choice, so we don't just leave them with a great design on paper to figure the rest out on there own... As a design agency we like to take that extra step in cooperation with our clients. For today's beautiful labels I want to thank Daniel Lawson in particular for the great selection, which helps us to stay ahead. Every-time we get in new stuff in from different production companies, I am still amazed about the possibilities and quality. Below just a very small selection of the great work we received. If you are thinking about a new label or redesign or even your spirit bottle, send me a DM, so we can plan in a strategic inspiration session to get the design development started!
