Currently I’m making a short film for the TCIS branding. Last weekend we filmed over 20 locations in 4 cities. I used the Canon EOS 7D and different lenses for the shoot. Now we have a few weeks for choosing the right footage, editing and sound design.

Last night was crazy! The GreenPaperBoys (check out the logo I designed) invited me to be on the opening of their new showroom at Overtoom, Amsterdam. Together with brands like GANT, MTV Mobile, Universal Music and more they’re showcasing their products. The store, people and vibe were all great and I must say, Absolut Vodka helped a lot on that one with giving away free drinks haha. So go all visit this showroom store in Amsterdam at Overtoom 62! I also made some pictures who all can be found on my Flickr.

Last weekend I visited a friend of mine in London. It was a great long weekend and I’ve done many thing like seeing places, shopping stores and eating english breakfast! London is such a great inspirational city. I even was able to visit DixonBaxi, one of my favorite designstudios. They make wonderful work and I just wanted to say “He guys you’re dope!” so I did! Like always I made pictures who all can be found in my latest flickr set. And before I forget, a big shout out to Amo for being a great friend and host. Many thanks!

I can be short about this one. Last week the boy Guillaume (Filling Pieces) hooked me up and settled a meeting with the Green Paper Boys for a brainstorm session on their identity. Like I tweeted today, brainstorm sessions are the new meetings! All I can say, there came some good out and I have a worth job to do! Stay tuned! Btw I stole these pictures above at the Green Paper Boys from a post about me.

The last few days I was busy updating my portfolio website. Tonight I added 2 project again: Sushi Shaped 3D and the Ray Azaria visual where I collaborated with Mischa Loppies (AiCatch). Above you see the typography for the Ray Azaria visual what was my part of the collab. Keep your eyes open cause I’m still not done updating ;)

Sushi Shaped 3D

Yesterday I started a little project, making the Sushi Shaped logo 3D. The logo is designed with the Shaped typeface. November the 27th will be the first time Sushi Shaped (dj and producer) rocking at a party named HOD so of course they wanted something special for the photos. They finally gonna show us what the’ve made in the “Sushi Cave” aka studio together with the Firebeatz, Ryan Marciano and Sunnery James and maybe his girlfriend Doutzen Kroes. So come and see the Sushi Shaped logo in 3D! More infomation for the party click here.

Yes this time some work from myself. The autumn vacation gave me the opportunity to shoot some pictures for my portfolio. Above you see my portfolio book, named “So far the art of Daniël R Sumarna“. Yes I know, quite a big name for a young designer like me but I saw the laugh in it. It contains 4 years of clients, personal and school work. The other one is a promotional poster for Mediaal what is one of my lastest projects.

About my portfolio, at the moment I really struggling with my own identity (I’d recently signed me in at the Chamber of Commerce yay). That’s the reason I uploaded all my work on Behance Network, which is a very cool network for designers (I love the appreciate thing), but not so client friendly. So I really want to get my identity done soon but I think time won’t let me. I also though about a Cargo website, I asked an invite yesterday and received it the same day, but I prefer something that keeps my website and blog in line. If you have any suggestions for a nice website leave a comment, I fixed the comment fields problem for the firefox users. Well till the time I haven’t a real thing I just rock on social networks. One last thing, my Black Origami was posted yesterday on Design You Trust and Collect3d!

Recently I’ve contacted with HypeForType about Shaped. Shaped is a new typeface I’ve made. Two months ago I designed a logo for a dj and producer filed under the name Sushi Shaped. For this logo I designed a custom font. I was happy about it and worked it out into two whole typefaces, Shaped and Shaped Remix. The HypeForType team is currently busy working out Shaped into a type able file so stay tuned. Shaped will be available for sell about a couple of weeks on HypeForType!

Today is the kick off of the MBO go NDO+i campaign. I’ve worked on this project for over a year in cooperation with Echt Bedrijf, His Consult and many more people. In collaboration with Echt Bedrijf I did the Art Direction. We created several media expressions like posters and promotional video’s. The printing results can be find in my selected works end of October, still working hard on my studio website! Take a look on the campaign website we launched today.

Today I’ve been working on our typography lessons. It was an easy assignment, just draw your initials. I choosed to illustrate the Greyton Script typeface with a brush and some ink. Not so special but very fun to do!
