A ten year partnership, countless illustrations and a website for Mensen Zeggen Dingen
Mensen Zeggen Dingen began a decade ago in Nijmegen and Arnhem, and has since grown into one of Netherlands' leading spoken word platform. With regular events in cities like Utrecht, Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Leiden, Nijmegen, The Hague, and Den Bosch, they bring spoken word to stages nationwide. In addition to their city events, they also organize festival tours, sharing their vibrant performances with audiences across the country.
A Longstanding Collaboration.
In 2015 Vincent got a simple question from Tim and Kees; to create an adaptable artwork for a spoken word event, being able to change the colors for each edition. This quickly evolved into something much bigger. Vincent initially designed a character whose colours and mouth changed with each event. But he couldn’t resist pushing the concept further, and it soon grew into a signature style featuring quirky, illustrated characters.
A new illustration for every edition
For every edition, Vincent created a new illustration, blending characters with objects to form a playful visual language. Over time, this approach has resulted in a huge collection of unique, recognizable designs. These designs ended up on posters, flyers, billboards, shirts, and even bookmarks.
Over the years, we’ve produced on a wide array of deliverables: posters, banners, flyers, stage visuals, merchandise, annual reports, and more. We also designed their website. This platform serves as a hub for the spoken word community, featuring profiles of performers, event schedules, news updates, and detailed information about the organization. It also includes a fully integrated shop for Mensen Zeggen Dingen merchandise.
Mensen Zeggen Dingen has been our partner for nearly 10 years, and we'll continue supporting this amazing crew of people giving a voice to whoever needs it.
