Vector portrait
Giving vector design a go, I created this self-portrait with Illustrator. Not much that I can say about it, only that I'm much more handsome in real life ;)

NetSpace
Inspired by the theory of the "New Ecology of Things", me and 2 classmates built this project prototype. We had the assignment to search for new networks and ecologies between objects and persons, assuming they would be networked through an Internet of Things. We came up with the idea to extract relevant content from the bus tables from De Lijn. When at a bus stop, you can scan a QR tag, determining your location. With that data, you can find the fastest route to any of your friends or favorite places.

Super Powers
During my exchange semester in Tampere, Finland, I had the privilege of attending a Special Effects & Video Graphics course by Timo-Pekko Nieminen. He explained us the basics of Adobe After Effects and showed us some neat compositing tricks. As a final assignment, we had to make our own short composition. Inspired by "Avatar: The Last Airbender", I came up with this.

Thesis image
With every academic publication comes an abstract, and so does my dissertation have an abstract. Since we are a design-oriented class, a strong visualization was required to accompany our abstract, so readers would get an abstract impression of our subject. I was inspired by the Internet of Things, and illustrate the link between people and physical shops.

De Restel
What began as a school assignment, turned out to be a full project. De Restel is a social healthcare institute in the hamlet of St-Joris, Alken. There was a specific need for a tool to increase effectiveness in communication towards patients. A dynamic website with a full-featured, self-written CMS was delivered, allowing De Restel VZW to reach their target audience from 7 to 77 years old through digital media.

What up?
The creation of this project was mostly due to serendipity. During a Special Effects & Video Graphics course, I was experimenting with motion techniques. I made a cool, glossy text-effect in Photoshop, and elaborated the composition in After Effects, adding a laser beam and smoke effects.

SkillInject
A school assignment, inspired by the man-machine cross-over. Inspired by the movie The Matrix, I came up with an idea that humans could apply certain skills to themselves through a modular system of brain manipulation. This website explains and promotes the product and technology. One of my older works, but I still like it due to the use of the 3D graphics in the header.

Corporate identity
Being a self-employed beauty specialist, my sister needed a way to market her services to potential customers. I designed a logo (inspired by a drawing from her) and a color scheme, which I then applied to a business card and price list design.

EyeToy
While learning how to work with Autodesk Maya 3D, I saw my PS2 EyeToy web cam standing on my desk, and made a digital model out of it. I'm quite satisfied with the model itself. Unfortunately I lost the source files, leaving me unable to add the appropriate materials to the model.

RespiDinner
This was a project inspired by a brainstorming session we held in class. We had to come up with a scenario concerning food, in a world 40 years from now. Our wicked minds came up with a doom scenario, with the world at war, thus people barely leaving their homes. They would eat like astronauts, instead of consuming a dough-like dinner, they'd consume it through respiration. I created this video to promote the device used to "inhale" a meal.

Sports composition
One of my early academic assignments (hence the use of Ronaldinho's picture in the composition). We were given the assignment to create a dynamic composition about any sport. I chose football, racing and snowboarding, and came up with this composition.

Magazine lay-out
Another older academic assignment, being my first experience with InDesign. I still like the result, those contrasting colors come out real nice. Central theme in this assignment was outer space. These colors really didn't cross my mind when imagining outer space, good thing there is something like serendipity.

Ooh ce course
This is a 'serious game'. The point of this educational game is to teach the user some French vocabulary. For this project we could rely on the co-operation of the SJB Institute Genk, since the game was intended for 14-15 year old pupils. We were given the opportunity to interview the pupils, and tweak our prototype through the co-design research method. The final game has a supermarket setting, where the player needs to buy all the ingredients on the list. The title of the game is a playful reference to the school course and the French translation of "help me": au secours.
