New Creative Director @ Design is Dead
17 Mar 2011

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.”

Free internet in a box

CityLive ‘Mobile Vikings’ Packaging image 3
Maybe you can’t judge a book by its cover, but you sure can judge a SIM card by its packaging! For the distribution of the Mobile Vikings SIM cards, we created this classy collector’s item. Let’s just hope no one accidently threw away the SIM card instead of the box…

Sailing the web, viking style
3 Feb 2009

While in history, vikings equalled destruction and barbaric battles, their modern offsprings fight for a far nobler goal: free mobile internet on each and every mobile phone! To support City Live’s Mobile Vikings on their glorious crusade, we designed them a mighty militant, mysterious website – recalling the good old Scandinavian superheroes. And the box housing the Vikings’ SIM card, is far from inferior to the nicest treasure chests.

Think of crazy inventions, hilarious situations, creative Rednecks and amazing stories.

Amus(eum)ing website

Getting teens and twens to go to a museum is somewhat harder than getting them to surf to a website, certainly when it’s a funky one like we created for AmuseeVous. With curators of Belgium’s great museums watching us closely, we sure felt stimulated to produce a true masterpiece. Eat your heart out, Jackson Pollock!

Accountancy may not be the coolest thing on the planet, Alaska sure is! The accountance agency formerly known as Fidulemco was in desperate need of some image refreshening. So, we gave them Alaska: icebergs, lots of white and blue, vast landscapes and clear healthy air. We rebaptized the company “Alaska”, provided them with a freezer-fresh logo, corporate identity and website. They now are propably the coolest accountance agency in the world!

The great Meta-morphosis
31 Dec 2007

Whilst creating (the identity and) the website for architects Meta Architectuurbureau, we chose to let the buildings themselves do most of the talking. In the end, bricks really are more powerful than an extended description of bricks, right? Besides this choice to give the portfolio pictures a leading part, we went for a very clear, refined design and navigation suitable for the agency’s architectural style.

Arty-ficial intelligence

Providing high quality services in insurances and investments, Kobelco is quite an intelligent company. Which evidently requires an equally intelligent corporate identity. Which again requires an extremely intelligent design agency, that’s right. We made those Kobelco guys look good wherever they needed to: on their business cards, their very own magazine, their conference invitations and other printwork.
