For the Winter 2019 project the USConcert performs the beautiful and impressive Alpensinfonie by Richard Strauss. A piece like that deserves some impressive promotion, so I designed a poster and visual style for their project. The poster was printed in poster and flyer format and spread in Utrecht and Amsterdam.
USConcert auditionposters
Two posters for the upcoming auditions of the Utrechtsch Studenten Concert. The overall theme forebodes the upcoming program, including Eine Alpensinfonie by Richard Strauss.
NeSP “Schijn bedriegt”
For the Nederlands Symfonie Project (Dutch Symphony Project) I designed the poster for their 2019 project “Schijn bedriegt” (Appearances are deceiving). The program revolves around mystical stories and fairytales including music by Debussy and Prokofiev and Strauss’s Don Quichote. The poster refers to the latter work and portrays a dreamlike and mirage-like dessert.
NESKO 2018 & 2019
Since 2018 I have been the in-house designer for the Dutch Student Chamber Orchestra (NESKO), giving every edition its pronounced theme and its comprehensive materials. This includes posters, flyers, stickers, CD-cases and so forth.
The theme of NESKO 2018 was “full of stories”, 2019’s theme was “Off the beaten track”. Both themes got to have their own unique feel and look, whilst still keeping a continuity through the years.
The Dutch Student Chamber Orchestra is an orchestra which forms yearly from new members to tour The Netherlands and Belgium with classical chamber music.
USConcert Mahler & Brahms
Two posters designed for the Utrecht Student Orchestra (USConcert).
These two posters portray a different side of Sem’s design work which could be called “fantasy realism”. In this style photo manipulation is order of the day instead of vector design.
These two posters were designed for the USConcert fall tour of 2016, and the spring tour of 2017.
