About the project

Clothing store located on Vlieland. Last year I made this logo for them. For the coming season may I help with thinking and designing there own clothing brand. We where thinking about comfortable clothing with a simple print, based on Vlieland. It is up to me to make a design thats based on Vlieland, which can change each season. So in combination for Beachy and my research on Vlieland I have asked myself a lot of questions about Vlieland.

Facts that I have collected

The municipality of Vlieland covers an area of ​​32,050 hectares, which consists of: - open water: 27,896 hectares - inland water: 66 hectares - land: 3,974 hectares The area of ​​land can be classified as follows: - dunes: 1,200 hectares - forest: 280 hectares - construction: 40 hectares - beaches: 100 hectares - Vliehors: 2,116 hectares

Questions about the island anyone could ask

What are the sights on Vlieland? What can you do? Where can you stay? Why did you come there? How do you get there? Who are coming? What makes Vlieland special? What are the nicknames of Vlieland? How many people are coming each year? How many people live there? What’s where people come for, what isn’t there? Is Vlieland different from the rest of the Islands? And how is it different?

This smallest inhabited island has everything you need for a weekend getaway or a carefree holiday. The atmosphere, the beaches, the conviviality, the get-away-from-everything feeling, the nice places, the tranquility, nature ...

Vlieland in general

Research into 'Vlieland' t-shirts

I have made an overview of all the clothes that Vlieland represents. I also looked at the authenticity of the different designs. Most of these designs are not really realistic, because there are no palm trees or just seals here.

More research...

An image that does not show cliche Vlieland, but memories of experiences that everyone would identify with. Nature, people, some things we can do. Recognition and wearing of Vlieland. So not just the lighthouse or a fat seal. The design on the t-shirt and the moment of wearing the shirt does make the memories of the island. At first I was very busy creating something in my laptop with different shapes and images. In which I soon got very stuck. So I started to do more research, taking pictures and make small paintings. To show the things that make Vlieland unique. They provide the memories and moments that people remember. A design that is based on an experience of a moment, in which people can identify with.

Presenting the painting of the experience

I used these pictures for offcourse Virtual Manifestations. During this offcourse I looked for a way to present physical work online. This has become a video showing that. Based on the video, people were asked about their own films from Vlieland. I received a number and they mainly showed holidays, parties or the beach. Based on this, I wanted to see if I can make something of this.

More of the research..

I really wanted to try different things with pictures of other people. This is because I would like to involve the target group in the design for them and by making it unique and recognizable, making it more attractive. I searched on instagram for the #Vlieland and chose different kinds of photos that I saw the most. I have cut out the people from these photos. This allows you to recognize yourself as a viewer and retrieve your own memories.
