Everybody was asked to design the thesis for Hélène van Laar-Hiwat who promoted in 2011 on this subject at the University of Wageningen.

Suriname has been fighting malaria since the early 1900s. With these control efforts Suriname succeeded in getting the coastal area free of malaria. In the Interior, transmission continued and malaria incidence increased. An important role in malaria transmission is played by the mosquito Anopheles darlingi, the primary vector in Suriname.

In 2005 a new 5-year malaria program was initiated in Suriname which included some new malaria control strategies. This thesis describes the effect of these strategies on malaria incidence and the Anopheles darlingi populations in Suriname and also evaluates some mosquito monitoring tools.

Everybody was asked by our friend Gaudi Hoedaya to develop and design a promotional brochure for Comenius College. The brochure had to be appealing to both parents and potential students, whilst making clear which type of education and facilities are available at which of their five locations, situated in Capelle aan den IJssel, Krimpen aan den IJssel, Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel and Rotterdam Alexander.

Within a very tight deadline Everybody produced a very well received promotional brochure that was warmly welcomed by the communication department with the words; ‘a paper jewel’ and ‘new thinking with a new look’.

Everybody enjoyed working together with Gaudi and looks forward to more collaboration!

When a long time friend approached us to design an identity for his new product design consultancy, Everybody instantly accepted the challenge! Daan Coolegem is an expert in the processes involved during the production of a huge variety of product design, so he wanted something that stood out from other product and industrial designers to show his business was different.

Daan didn’t want to “pigeon-hole” himself as a designer of any one particular field of product, his experience is broad and the skills he has gained over his career are what he uses day-to-day, we were keen to avoid pictures of the products he has designed as this would be detrimental.

Our solution for Daan was completely graphical. We decided to use a dark base with a bright fluorescent Orange Pantone 811 ink and with a considered use of overprints a multi-layered look was achieved. With a soft inspiration from the Bauhaus style which Daan admires we achieved a very effective and on budget job that, within 2 days of being delivered, provided enquiries and gained some appointments on his first time out of the office with it!

Everybody says, thanks for the job Daan, it was great fun designing for you again!

Everybody was asked to develop the visual identity and campaign material for Roots for Development which was launched the first week of November 2011.

Roots for Development is a growing network that consists of young (multicultural) professionals and high potentials with the ambition to make a difference in the world, through their own projects, or within their own orgination. The goal is make them aware of their role in International Co-operation.

Within the world of International Co-operation –which used to be called Development Aid– Roots for Development offers training and events to help, guide and empower young professionals in order to realize international projects and ideas. Fairmedia.tv built the website www.rootsfordevelopment.nl according to the visual style set by Everybody where social media, videos and blog posts come together.

Bedford Steels is a very specialist steel manufacturer in the industrial East end of the historic steel city of Sheffield.

The company is well over 200 years old, and as part of a long running modernisation of the business, we were contacted to have a look at materials the company communicates it’s offer with.

The first point of call for us was obvious as the website had not been updated for over 6 years. We felt this was the first place to start as the company relies mainly on word of mouth and market knowledge to entice new and expanded business.

Being a very niche product there are some unusual anomalies which occur, but give a bigger creative challenge, which helps us as designers to make a bigger impact. The client, in principle, only required a web presence, which explained who they are and the main products they produce. This is a relatively simple job to do and we completed the website within budget and in a rather short time.

The project went live in the middle of July and is regarded as a starting point for a new era in the marketing activity of the company.

If you click the image above you can look at the site, and read about the unique product that this Steel innovator makes.

Some time ago, a cousin of one of our partners asked if we could find a way to help raise funding in the Netherlands for the research of Canavan disease. What’s Canavan disease? It’s an illness that belongs to a group of conditions known as leukodystrophies. In short, it is a progressive degeneration of the brain. Unfortunately, Lavi Ben Moshe has this disease.

To help Lavi’s chances to survive, his parents have started a campaign to raise attention and funding to develop more successful treatments that should benefit anyone suffering from this merciless disease. Everybody developed a poster and flyer in Dutch and English, with versions in Hebrew and German being developed at this time. Everybody was deeply touched by this family’s ordeal, and hopes this poster and flyer will contribute to much wider awareness of both the illness and this campaign.

As part of the 100 year celebrations which have seen the entire offices redesigned and opened out to help develop the company and bring it up to date. As part of our ongoing work with Padley and Venables, we were asked to develop a wall graphic for this reception area to reflect the website designer previously by us. The size of this graphic is 5 metres X 1.75 m.

It was a simple thing for us to provide a strong graphic which shows the international nature of the company’s business and reminds every visitor of the scale of the operation. The other side of the wall shown here, is also covered with a graphic which helps communicate the company brand values to the staff on a daily basis.

The interior design and build was taken care of by Domino Commercial Interiors in Sheffield, with whom we worked to produce the graphic and get it in place.

We’ll update you with more on this project soon.

In anticipation of the United Nations General Assembly High-Level Meeting on Aids, Matraco has taken up the initiative to create a platform for people involved in AIDS related matters, all around the world. On My2centsonaids.com, all are given a voice to share their views, information and comments on issues regarding AIDS. For this platform, Matraco has asked Everybody to design its logo. As we support this initiative, we were happy to do so. In collaboration with Sowmedia we have provided them with a website where everything comes together: social media, videos and blog posts. My2centsonaids.com will remain online impermanently after the HLM has taken place.

Everybody hopes Matraco gets lots of good contributions for the addressing of the AIDS problem worldwide!

Everybody was asked to supply an illustration for the biggest (green) sustainable bank of the Netherlands, the ASN Bank to be used in their internal communication materials. This illustration mentions, in Dutch, that you are an “eikel” (which has the double meaning of dickhead and acorn) if you don’t bank in a sustainable way. Since the ASN Bank logo is a squirrel is was just a matter of putting the two together to complete the image.

As lovers of image, this is quite simply breathtaking. We were told about a website belonging to Parisian artist, Guido Mocafico, who produces some literally stunning images. When we visited the site it was one of the rare ones which makes us stop, gather around a screen and click each image. Every one of them.

The ones which we felt compelled to show you first are the Serpent series, which are, as we mentioned at the start of this post, breathtaking. Scientists argue that our brains are hardwired to be scared of snakes (amongst other things) but when they are presented in this manner, you can’t help be see them as stunning examples of how nature can make colours and beauty that man could never make up.

The image shown above is of Dendroaspis jamesoni jamesoni, or Jameson’s Green Mamba – or so I am informed, a snake which comes originally from Burundi, living mainly in trees.

After we discussed it a little, we realised it was the context in which the snakes are all photographed which makes this series of shots so special. Think about it, you usually see snakes in their natural habitat (or a mock up of it’s natural habitat at least) but these are all photographed against a black background, which is obviously containing them and forcing the shapes they are making, usually long, curved and lithe, square and angular. This forces them to become a real abstraction of themselves and results in some amazing images.

This is a website which we would really recommend a visit to for this series alone, but the rest of the photos are as good, so have a look and see what you think. (Clicking the image above will take you to the site of the artist.)
