Design is Dead proudly presents its new Creative Director: Bart Lommelen.

Bart Lommelen started working for Design is Dead in 2005, even before he graduated with high honours from Sint-Lukas in Graphic and Advertising Design. In 2008 he became Art Director at Antwerp’s finest agency. Now, he will be our new ingenious guru behind the scenes and on the set, guiding the creative process of our projects from concept and rough cut though pre- and post-production to the red carpet and the premiere.

“The example I’ve set myself for the task ahead is Quentin Tarantino. As a director, he is incredibly creative, quirky, and 100% dedicated to doing things his own way–without this stopping him from reaching a wide audience. That is what I want for Design is Dead: To ensure we stay a cutting-edge, rebellious online agency with its own creative look and feel and its own singular identity, all the while attracting clients from all sectors and walks of life.”

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”.
