About: After his graduation in 2008 from the Design Academy in Eindhoven, Timon van der Hijden works as an independent designer for clients and galleries. The basis of his work is graphic design. Timon van der Hijden is looking for new ways to work with old techniques. The study of three-dimensional graphic design plays a major role in his work. In addition, his work has an overlap with design, visual arts and performance. Where graphic design has its limitations, these disciplines attain new surprising expressions. Principles have been amazement, surprise and humor. Timon is also co-founder of La Bolleur and Letterproeftuin.

Together with Erwin Thomasse I made this birthday calendar. The project was like a ping pong match. Erwin started with January and I replied with February and so on.

Logo design for the fashion store Transit. The letters are made of metal.

The next two projects are commissioned by the Graphic Design Festival Breda 3D poster, made of big plates in a pond. At first they seem like different objects, however from the right perspective they form a complete image. The slidingdoor at the entrance of the graphic design museum at Breda. If the doors open, the two layers of glass combine and show a complete image and a welcome text for the visitors.
