Graphic design for the KRAS exposition

BACK

Mignon Wildeboer (curator of Kras) approached me back in February of 2026 to help her out with her new concept. A co-creative exposition between poets and visual makers around the theme “Little Lies”.

Kras took place on the 29th of May in Teatro/KABUL À GoGo. Their cute little Cafe Oke got turned into a creative space that exposed fantastic work by young, Utrecht-based artists. Let me bring you along the journey of this project starting with the logo.

early posters

After receiving the briefing, I started drawing up some early posters. I wanted to capture Mignon’s vision by connecting her concept with nature and art (like the calligrapahy pen or the trees).

The final poster was this one right here. Mignon gave her approval so we went out to touch some grass and hang it everywhere. In my opinion, it perfectly combines readibility with a capturing, unique style that solidifies Kras as a strong exposition.

The poster has abstract and silhouette images, including a whale with the words 'lere leugentes' on it and a background of trees and water with purple and black tones. The bottom includes a list of artists involved.

logo

For the logo, I wanted something sketch-like, handrawn. I went for a calligraphy pen with the name of the exposition wrapping around the head. Mignon asked for purple and we landed on this soft, catchy purple color for all the branding.

I took a picture of my friend’s sweater and over-edited it in Photoshop te create a visual that could be used for a variety of brand elements. I like texture and patterns and try to use them as much as I can in my designs.
