Last friday, 22nd of June, I graduated as Crossmedia Designer at the AKI Enschede. I couldn’t be happier with the results and the fact that the audience got what I meant with my project ‘(on)rust’ (unrest).

My project contains some different approaches to the psyche of the human being, with illustrations. With different media like animations, books and big prints I want to show what ‘inside my head’ looks like, and not just my head, but most importantly, a lot of my peers.

The pressure of nowadays, getting a job, being perfect at everything you do, a full head, exhaustion,… 

And this in combination with my own perfectionism and fear to fail. I wanted to challenge this characteristics (not problems!) because I wanted to learn to have a bit more fun creating work, and letting go of the idea that everything has to be perfect,… That I had to be perfect. 

I had a lot of fun during my project, but I also met myself again and again. Also enduring the rough parts of this projects, makes that I can be really proud of the result. 

In a week or two I’ll show you, if you can’t make it, the whole project here on my website.
