76:19:12
What happens when you publish a photograph and a story on the internet and have people have their way with it? Unintentionally, the heroic image of a bare-chested Putin on horseback has taken a life of its own online. The hefty book 76:19:12 is a collection of all the online stories that have used this photo for illustration and shows the various interpretations of this image.
With this book Vincent was selected as one of the thirty Best Graduates 2015 by DUDE (dutch designers magazine) and part of the Graphic Design Festival Breda.

X-mas or X-miss
The Coolblue Christmas Campaign was all about one question: Christmas on or Christmas off? Do you like Christmas? Then put it on! Do you feel like you could use your precious time for more important stuff than celebrating Christmas? Choose off.
Through Facebook, Coolblue employers tried to sway you to the on- or off-side by posting fun movies. We asked our fans for their opinion. Ultimately, the majority of the crowd chose Christmas On. To celebrate this cozy Christmas feeling, we posted the ultimate Christmas movie on the Coolbue Facebook and website. By choosing Christmas On or Off on the homepage of the webshop, the look of and product recommendations in the webshop changed accordingly.

Juggle the gay judgement
Anti-gay content is all over the internet. To make the internet a bit more tolerant, we made a browser plugin which will turn anti-gay content into its positive gay counterpart. This gay friendly version of the original anti-gay content will be posted online and is optimized for Google ranking. This way Google is more likely to show pro-gay content. Making the internet a bit more gay, one comment at a time.

Monnikenwerk
BNO invited us to organise a talkshow in the Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam. This gave us the opportunity to invite all our design heroes, such as Levi van Veluw and Ger Leegwater, to come talk about their bizarre and assiduous projects. We named the talkshow evening 'Monninkenwerk' (Monk's work) which is the Dutch word for projects that are particularly time-consuming. The identity we designed for the evening was inspired by stained glass windows.
It's like time was of no consequence in the work of some designers and artists. Is it madness to take on such a time-consuming project? Or does the majority of contemporary designers simply lack in motivation to take on something so assiduous? The speakers during the BNO IMG LAB event 'Monnikenwerk' explain their motives behind their impressive and time-consuming work. The line up consisted of Levi van Veluw, Georg Bohle, Ger Leegwater and WE MAKE CARPETS.
