Agency Helder Marketing asked illustrator Michiel Nagtegaal to re-design some print materials for one of their clients, Zwemschool Tuimelaer (Swimschool Tuimelaer).

Thinking beyond the briefing I proposed a creative concept where the level of progress of kids is visualized by cartoon characters. Each of the six cartoon characters has a different skillset, fitting the level of progress of each kid. They 'walk' the kids through the courses.

The dolphin, taken from the logo, was re-designed together with the logo itself and represents the ultimate goal of the swim courses.

The vector illustrations where made in Adobe Illustrator to ensure the quality in print as well as online.

Vector cartoon character illustration 'Mafia'

Illustration 'Mafia' is a vector artwork made in Adobe Illustrator

Vector illustration 'Mafia' is an old ('90s I believe) personal project, set up purely for the fun of drawing it. 

I like the visual contrast between the girl and the little guy in the suit and how he blends with the background.

ING Real Estate - Project Gezonde Betrokkenheid - Cartoon character illustrations

Cartoon character design for an internal project at ING Real Estate, 'Gezonde Betrokkenheid' (Healthy Involvement)

Poster design for an internal project at ING Real Estate, 'Gezonde Betrokkenheid' (Healthy Involvement)

One for all and all for one! That was one the proposed one liners to be used in the ING Real Estate internal project 'Gezonde Betrokkenheid', which translates roughly as 'Healty Involvement'.

The project aimed at raising awareness for a healthy involvement of all ING Real Estate staff. Healthy as in 'social' but also healthy as in the involvement with eating healthy food.

To promote the internal campaign oranges were distributed at the entrance of the building.

Michiel Nagtegaal was asked to create a visual concept that matched the mission of the project. One of the ideas was to use a mascot (an orange) as key visual in the communication.

Wedding invitation cartoon character illustration 'Supergoose'

Vector illustration 'Supergans' (Supergoose), used for a wedding invitation of a former co-worker

A (former) co-worker, Hans, asked his girlfriend to marry him. She said yes and he asked me to design a cartoon character of the couple. How could I refuse such a request from someone with the nickname 'Supergans' (Supergoose)?

The vector illustration was made entirely in Adobe Illustrator and used on the printed wedding invitations.
