For the Lokerse Feesten festival we went completely nuts and created a swingin’ rock ‘n roll fantasy fair online. A little vintage, a lot of guts and some red velvet make this website an appropriate environment to host big fish such as the Sex Pistols, Sonic Youth and Massive Attack.
What happens when you put a Mentos dragee in a bottle of coke? Well, you get a fountain as explosive as a Design is Dead creation… Some fun-lovin’ fools turned this experiment into a World Record sport, and we happily created a very bubbly website for the belgian World Record attempt. In a (world) record of time, for that matter!

For the launch of the supercalifragalistic Pienternet website, we hosted a virtual cocktail party. During a three-hour live streaming, visitors were repeatedly invited to come and join the very happy hour at our headquarters, or to share the joy from a distance by raising a glass behind their own PC. Never knew that F11 could cause such a hangover!
Designing a kickass website that appeals to the young and restless? Now, that’s our cup of tea! We developed a crazy, contemporary and extremely userfriendly blog to guide them youngsters through the jungle of life, school and work with a hint of humour: Pienternet. After a thorough usabilty-analysis, we delivered a product that put a big smile on the client’s face, and enlightened many a student and teacher.
Under the watchful eye of host Villanella, 200 young artists were invited to give the centre of Antwerp a temporary new face. We were invited to give this two day event an online face. Young people making nice things wasn’t just the event’s baseline, but also our mission. We cut and sewed together a Villanella-worthy patchworksite, serving as an online programmation guide and a roadmap both to the arty participants and thousands of talent-tourists.
With ATM’s in the street becoming a dying breed, BASE asked us to create a mini-site communicating the various alternatives for refuelling your mobile phone. So we took those ill-diagnosed cellphones right up to first aid, put them on a monitor and suggested some plausible treatments. Nurses not included.
image 2In the middle of the 2008 Eurosong contest craziness, the Paranoiacs were all around. For an advertisement in P-magazine -promoting their new single- we came up with a cut-out cd package design. P-readers could download the single online, and then wrap it in their very own Paranoiacs cover, thanks to our witty designers.

Live Nation’s TW Classic festival is all about mixing the old and established with some new kids on the block, which consequently results in a fascinating line-up. Basically, we do the same when designing the website each year: we stick to the well known graphical foundations and stir them up with the creative vibes of the moment. Since 2004.
When Sancta Media decided to cross media and borders with this cultural project for kids, we gladly crossed those borders with them. Gently trashing up the cultural heritage of China, Mexico, Mali and India, we came up with a street-artistic website and some Design is Dead-cool animations.
In a CSI-like mission to solve the mistery of a 17th century girl’s corpse, found underneath the foundations of Antwerp, our very own Sherlock puzzled together some unusual suspects, dusty pieces of evidence and medieval imagery to communicate a morbid exhibition in the Rockoxhuis. Or as we say: “Ooggetuigen aan de Schelde. Wetenschappers lossen 17e-eeuws mysterie op”.
