	<description><![CDATA[<img align="bottom" src="/public/Cannes.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />Het was mooi weer in <a href="http://www.canneslions.com/">Cannes</a> dit jaar. De Belgische bureaus brengen de ene na de andere gouden leeuw mee naar huis. Fijn is dat. Verdiend ook vaak. Die bannerconcerten van <a href="http://www.boondoggle.be/">Boondoggle</a> bijvoorbeeld. Spot-on reclame vind ik dat. En bovendien perfect uitgevoerd. Brussels reclamebureau <a href="http://www.happiness-brussels.com/">Happiness</a> brengt ook tas vol leeuwen mee naar huis. Eentje voor een campagne waar mensen wordt gevraagd een dansje in een auto te doen. Dan denk ik: dansen? In een auto? En dan opladen zodat mensen op me kunnen stemmen? Zou ik nooit doen. Hoeft ook niet, zolang de doelgroep het maar doet. Zolang de boodschap zich maar verspreidt, zodat veel mensen gaan dansen in een Toyota. En hopelijk veel mensen ook effectief een Toyota gaan kopen. Want daar gaat het om natuurlijk. Hoeveel geld investeer je in een campagne en hoeveel exact brengt het op? De <a href="http://blog.luon.com/dblog/articolo.asp?articolo=774">ROMI</a> dus, om maar eens een hippe term te gebruiken. <br /><br />Happiness wint ook met de erg clevere &ldquo;<a href="http://www.letitring.be/">Let it Ring</a>&rdquo;-campagne . Die kwam al meteen aanwaaien op onze wekelijkse <a href="http://blog.luon.com/geert/post/2009/03/24/Weekly-WassUp-19.aspx">Wassups</a>. Een campagne voor ouders van verongelukte kinderen. Via een ingenieus systeem speel je zelf mee in een video. Je rijdt auto en ineens rinkelt je gsm. Als je opneemt, vliegt er plots een kind tegen je voorruit. Als je niet opneemt krijgt je felicitaties. Knap gevonden zeg. Straffe campagne met vooral veel award potentieel. Maar hoeveel mensen hebben ze gezien en hebben meegedaan? En wat heeft het opgebracht? En hadden ze met een simpel en straf spotje op TV niet veel meer volk bereikt? <br /><br />Wie het weet mag het zeggen...<br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" />]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Girl Geek Jury]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Next week Thursday July 2nd, VTM kicks off season 2 of Chef vs Vlaanderen. Amateur chefs get a second change to defeat professional chef Jeroen De Pauw in a head-to-head cooking duel. To do so they have to convince the jury of their culinary skills in a blind taste test.  </p>
<p>Yesterday we invited 5 reputable <a href="http://www.brusselsgirlgeekdinner.be/" target="_blank">girl geeks</a> to form the panel of judges. Who better to judge about food then 5 opinion leaders with a strong track record in food tasting, right?</p>
<p>To see the girls in action you will have to wait until the episode airs somewhere around the end of August, beginning of September. But here's already a sneak preview:</p>
<p><embed src="http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=71649" width="400" height="300" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="offsite=true&lang=en-us&page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2Fglennvh%2Fsets%2F72157620453698875%2Fshow%2F&page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2Fglennvh%2Fsets%2F72157620453698875%2F&set_id=72157620453698875&jump_to=" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></p>
<p>Like last year, all the duels, recipes and exclusive footage will be posted on the <a href="http://www.solo.be/nl/chef-vs-vlaanderen/scorebord.htm" target="_blank">Solo Open Kitchen</a> website. So if you want to judge the recipes for yourself or if you are just looking for some daily cooking inspiration you can head over to the <a href="http://www.solo.be/" target="_blank">Solo site</a> and follow the preparation from A to Z.</p>

	<title><![CDATA[Uniqlo calendar]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.uniqlo.com/calendar/" target="_blank">http://www.uniqlo.com/calendar/</a> <br />Uniqlo&rsquo;s newest campaign is a very nice designed daily calendar which also provide local weather updates. Besides this, the site shows a selection of video&rsquo;s, showing location in Japan. Tilt-shift techniques have been use to create a shallow depth of field. By doing so, the scenes almost look model-like or man made. When users click on one of these video&rsquo;s, the video stops and creates a grid, composed of  the latest Uniqlo products.   Remarkable is the way Uniqlo integrates the e-commerce into the conten: a simple though intuitive interface pushes the visitor gently towards Uniqlo&rsquo;s e-commerce portal. <br /><br /><img src="/public/Pi_uniqlo1.jpg" alt="" /><br /><img src="/public/Pi_uniqlo2.jpg" alt="" /><br clear="all" />]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[ROMI measurement is a must]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.emarketer.com/Article.aspx?R=1007143" target="_blank">eMarketer</a> kicks in an open door stating: &quot;The need for measurement and analytics is growing in importance.&quot;</p>
<p>The statement is backed by a new study reporting that 79% of marketers feel that the need to measure, analyze and report marketing effectiveness is greater now than in previous years. However, a whopping 59% say they do not have the budget for these necessary measurement efforts.</p>
<p align="center"><img alt="" src="/public/romi.gif" /></p>
<p align="left">Even more disturbing, 31% of marketers worldwide allocate 0% of their budget towards ROMI measurement.</p>
<p align="center"><img alt="" src="/public/romi2.gif" /></p>
<p align="left">The article concludes with five recommendations which will guide you through these tough times:</p>
<ul>
    <li>
    <div>&nbsp;Estimate ROI potential in the planning stage.</div>
    </li>
    <li>
    <div>&nbsp;Invest in measurements and analytics with immediate payback.</div>
    </li>
    <li>
    <div>&nbsp;Increase experimentation and testing.</div>
    </li>
    <li>
    <div>&nbsp;Prepare for aggressive competition during the recovery.</div>
    </li>
    <li>
    <div>&nbsp;Pursue efficiency and effectiveness.</div>
    </li>
</ul>
<p align="left">Proven ROMI and measurement are at the heart of our <a href="http://www.luon.com" target="_blank">customer marketing</a> approach. We have the joy to work for such&nbsp;<a href="http://www.luon.com/html/portfolio/unilever/5solo.asp" target="_blank">clever clients</a> who understand that you have to sow before your reap. </p>

	<description><![CDATA[<img src="/public/Fnac_Vacances_2009.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />But before you head out to enjoy the sun, make sure you pick up your copy of the new Fnac summer catalogue at a Fnac store near you. Need a GPS to guide you straight to your favourite beach resort? Or what about a new portable game console to keep the kids busy during the long drive to the south of France (promise: we won’t tell anyone you bought it for yourself in the first place). Or why not treat yourself to that water resistant MP3-player you’ve been daydreaming about all year? Whichever holiday gadget turns you on, it’s available at Fnac.

	<description><![CDATA[Doritos Brazil came up with the idea of putting a QR code on the packs of Doritos Sweet Chili, the latest flavour.  This code releases a Dorito Lover, a kind of cartoon caracter. They can be added to their owner&rsquo;s Orkut profile - the largest social network in Brasil - as a special app. Once this is done, owners can take take pictures of their Lover, create birth certificates or even put the unwanted Lovers up for adoption. <br /><br /> This Lovers can interact with other Lovers and introduce their owners to each other. It&rsquo; s most unlikely that 2 of the same Lovers will appear since their are 18 trillion possible Doritos Lover combinations.  <br /><br /> <a href="http://www.doritos.com.br/sweetchili/site/" target="_blank">http://www.doritos.com.br/sweetchili/site/ </a><br />

	<description><![CDATA[<img src="/public/ES_CoverRomance.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />Our friends at <a href="http://www.famous.be">Famous</a> take the idea of a "<a href="http://blog.luon.com/dblog/articolo.asp?articolo=700">Romance de Gare</a>" another step further. For the opening event of the renewed Antwerp railway station, they asked 5 flemish authors to write a novel together. Herman Brusselmans, <a href="http://blog.luon.com/dblog/articolo.asp?articolo=699">Oscar van den Boogaard</a>, Joke van Leeuwen, Tom Naegels and Anne Provoost will be writing an entire day in the monumental stationhall, each contributing a chapter of a serial.<br /><br />The result will be a unique novel, that will be distributed in 5.000 copies. But what's more: the cover can be designed by you. All you have to do is <a href="http://www.stationsroman.be/">subscribe here</a>, make a killer cover and who knows... maybe your design will be on the cover of a true 'Romance de Gare'.<br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" />]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Overijse has a new information Guide]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<img align="bottom" alt="" src="/public/overijse_infogids09_01.jpg" /> <br /><br />LUON is based in Overijse, a village near Brussels world famous for its grapes. Life is great in this cosy village. So when the community asked to develop an information guide for its inhabitants, we didn’t think twice. At first sight, it looked like a simple task, but errors are easily made. <br /><br /><img alt="" src="/public/overijse_infogids09_02.jpg" /><br /><br />First of all, it’s an information guide. People use it to search for information: the telephone number of communal youth service, where to find a playground for your children, how to get a parking card, etc…?  And they want that information as fast as possible. So, no need for a glossy full colour brochure and a lot of fancy stuff. Functionality and clarity comes first, but we also tried to grab a glimpse of the true spirit of Overijse.<br /><br />Here’s our solution.<br />-    A handy and small format<br />-    Very simple and straightdforward catagories to make searching easy. <br />-    Spiral binding: very usefull when you lay open the booklet to take up the phone. <br />-    Black and white info pages mixed with strong photography. <br />-    No stockphoto’s here. Instead, we used real 'Overijsenaren', shot by our very own, Mario Sohie.<br />-    A simple cover to accentuate the colours of Overijse.<br />-    And ofcourse, an online version.<br /><br />Browse it here.<br />

<p>Most of you will look at this video and see a bunch of weirdos showing of their "dance" moves.<br /><a href="http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2009/06/guy-3.html" target="_blank">Seth Godin</a> looks at it as a prime example of how <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tribes-We-Need-You-Lead/dp/1591842336" target="_blank">Tribes</a> are being formed.</p>
<p>He points out that Guy #1 initiated the whole thing, but it's Guy #3 who made it a movement.<br />Guy #1 is the leader, Guy #3 is just as important, Guy #49 is irrelevant.</p>
<p>Who would you rather be?</p>
<p>In his book <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tribes-We-Need-You-Lead/dp/1591842336" target="_blank">Tribes - Whe need you to lead us</a></em> Seth Godin points out that it takes a tribe to bring about substantive change and it takes a leader and passion to initiate a tribe. That is why true leadership makes for the best marketing tactic for any organization.</p>

Eurostation conceives station environments that make the surrounding urban area come to life. As the company planned to present themselves at some of Belgium’s biggest recruitment events, they looked for a way to convey their lively image to job seekers nationwide. And you know us, we never turn down a good challenge.<br />

<p>First of all we stripped the booth down to its bare necessities. All frills that could possibly interfere with our plan were meticulously removed. That gave us a blank canvas on which the station environment would literally come to life. Next we hooked up with an incredibly talented graphic artist to make it all happen with brushes and paint, live on location. Since that magic moment, a new scene develops before the very eyes of the visitors at every job event. <br />  <br />The Eurostation booth at the Talentum and Career Launch events drew lots of spectators, and resulted in easier contacts and plenty of qualified CV’s. The new booth concept also contributed to 250 spontaneous job applications from all over the country, from which 8 candidates where eventually contracted.<br /><br />All in all, this new approach delivers a great brand experience.<br />Catch us at the next Eurostation event and watch it all come to life.<br /><br />In the meantime, check out the <a href="http://vimeo.com/5003417">short video impression.</a><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" />]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Op 21/04 organiseerde Stichting Marketing het seminarie <a href="http://www.stichtingmarketing.be/nl/activities/viewevent.asp?eventid=497" target="_blank">‘Social Media in België: merken bouwen via social media en blogs’</a>. Aangezien dergelijke initiatieven traditioneel voornamelijk volk vanuit agentschappen op de been brengt, was er deze keer enigszins verrassend veel interesse vanuit de adverteerderswereld (o.a. SBS Belgium, Fortis Bank, Electrabel, Mars Belgium, e.a.). Aan de vragen en reacties van het publiek kon je echter al snel opmaken dat er nog steeds erg veel argwaan heerst omtrent social media. Daarom worden in deze reeks enkele mythes en misconcepties van naderbij belicht.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.luon.com/dblog/articolo.asp?articolo=753" target="_blank"><strong>Deel 1 - Social media is hetzelfde als op Facebook &amp; Netlog zitten</strong></a></p>
<p><a href="http://blog.luon.com/dblog/articolo.asp?articolo=754" target="_blank"><strong>Deel 2 - Social media is gevaarlijk</strong></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://blog.luon.com/dblog/articolo.asp?articolo=766" target="_blank">Deel 3 - Social media is enkel voor big brands</a></strong></p>
<p><em>Enkel bekende merken kunnen hun profijt halen uit social media, commodities hebben er niets te zoeken.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://blog.luon.com/dblog/articolo.asp?articolo=738" target="_blank">Eerder schreef ik</a> al dat 'het merk' in eerste instantie een creatie is als oplossing voor de groeiende fysieke en mentale afstand tussen consument en producent, wat eigen is aan het tijdperk van massaproductie, -consumptie en -communicatie. Een merk zorgt m.a.w. voor een placebo-effect als compensatie voor het ontbreken van een directe vertrouwensrelatie met de handelaar. Des te groter de emotionele band met het merk, des te kleiner de behoefte naar rationele overtuigingsmiddelen bij iedere (her)koop.</p>
<p>Het komt er op neer dat big brands zich via grote verhalen en veel reclamege(we)ld weten te differentiëren van de kleinere spelers om zo de consument aan zich te binden. Nu is het zo dat menig marketeer social media louter beschouwt als een nieuw vehicle om hun verhaal aan de consument kwijt te kunnen. Een A-merkstatus wordt daarbij verkeerdelijk ingeschat als conditio sine qua non voor social media succes.</p>
<p>Hoewel hierover <a href="http://www.ondernemeringent.be/2009/05/de-dood-van-merken.html" target="_blank">onenigheid</a> bestaat, verklaar ik de kracht van sterke merken en hun verhalen verre van dood. Toch brengt de evolutie van het internet in het algemeen en van social media in het bijzonder nieuwe implicaties met zich mee:</p>
<p>1) <strong>Attention</strong> > Het is onmogelijk geworden de aandacht van je consument af te kopen. Zijn mediagebruik is dermate gefragmenteerd dat hij zelf bepaalt voor welke boodschap hij ontvankelijk is, waar, wanneer en via welk kanaal.</p>
<p>2) <strong>Authenticity</strong> > De consument en zijn sociaal netwerk legitimeert het verhaal. Merken kunnen wel mooie praatjes verkopen, indien deze niet overeenstemmen met de ervaring die de klant met je merk heeft, zal dit eerder kwaad dan goed doen.</p>
<p>3) <strong>Word-of-mouth²</strong> > Het is namelijk bij monde van de consument en via sociale media dat het verhaal wordt verteld en verspreid.</p>
<p>4) <strong>Customer Experience</strong> > Bouw daarom je identiteit op grond van datgene wat jouw merk werkelijk uniek maakt in de ogen van de consument. In de <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/BTPsessions/insites-on-customer-experience" target="_blank">onderstaande presentatie</a> van <a href="http://www.insites.be/" target="_blank">InSites Consulting</a> ontdek je welke touch points van belang zijn in het scheppen van de juiste klantervaringen en het opbouwen van customer equity (i.t.t. brand equity).</p>
<p>5) <strong>Proximity </strong>> Social media brengt mensen dichterbij. Massa maakt plaats voor one-to-one, one-to-many en many-to-many. De tools zijn voorhanden en het gebruik is goedkoop en laagdrempelig. Kleinere merken hebben vaak het voordeel de flexibiliteit en het engagement te hebben om een oprechte conversatie te voeren met de consument.</p>

<p>Je hoeft niet meteen Coca-Cola, Nike of Harley Davidson te heten om succesvolle social media verhalen te schrijven. Ook hippe producten zoals de nieuwste smartphone of het coolste drankje zijn geen must. Onderstaande cases tonen hoe relatief onbekende merken en ronduit saaie producten zich weten te profileren via sociale media.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Zappos</strong></a><strong>:</strong> “A service company that happens to sell shoes.”</p>
<p><em>Powered by service</em>, een gewaagde baseline voor een online retailer. Toch weet Zappos deze claim waar te maken en niet in het minst dankzij de manier waarop zij sociale media inschakelen in hun customer service totaalaanpak. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.twitter.com/zappos" target="_blank">Tony Hseih</a>, CEO van Zappos, gebruikt Twitter in de eerste plaats om kwalitatieve, persoonlijke contacten te onderhouden met zijn (potentiële) klanten: "People relate to people, not companies."</p>
<p>Daarnaast integreert Zappos Twitter ook in de bedrijfsprocessen. <a href="http://twitter.com/krianbalma" target="_blank">Brain Kalma</a>, Director of User Experience, <a href="http://www.imediaconnection.com/content/22791.asp" target="_blank">beschrijft</a> Twitter als "a massive <strong>feedback mechanism</strong> where we can hear peoples' thoughts on site improvements, what we are doing well, what we are not doing well enough. We can aggregate the feedback and turn it into <strong>actionable items for improvements</strong>."</p>
<p>Meer info over de unieke customer service filosofie van Zappos en de rol die sociale media daarin spelen vind je in <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/krianbalma/extending-the-customer-experience" target="_blank">onderstaande presentatie</a>: </p>
<div id="__ss_1097246" style="WIDTH: 425px; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><a title="Extending the Customer Experience" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 12px 0px 3px; FONT: 14px Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.slideshare.net/krianbalma/extending-the-customer-experience?type=powerpoint">Extending the Customer Experience</a><embed src="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=zappos-mx-preso-3-3-09revised-090303171238-phpapp01&stripped_title=extending-the-customer-experience" width="425" height="355" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed> </div>
<p><a href="http://www.comparethemarket.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Compare the Market</strong></a></p>
<p>Compare the Market is een Britse vergelijkingssite voor allerhande diensten gaande van autoverzekeringen tot leningen en hypotheken. Hoewel de voordelen voor de consument duidelijk zijn, kan je het vergelijken van financiële diensten bezwaarlijk een boeiende bezigheid noemen. Compare the Market is dan ook niet meteen een bekend, laat staan hip merk.</p>
<p>Daar is recent verandering ingekomen dankzij een geïntegreerde campagne rond de centrale figuur van Aleksandr Orlov, oprichter van <a href="http://www.comparethemeerkat.com/" target="_blank">Compare The Meerkat</a>. Het personage telt ondertussen bijna 450.000 fans op <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/Aleksandr-Orlov-Founder-of-Compare-the-Meerkat/55085907066" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, 16.000 volgers op <a href="http://twitter.com/aleksandr_orlov" target="_blank">Twitter</a> en het officiële <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0mXUC0cUPg" target="_blank">YouTube</a> filmpje werd reeds meer dan 128.000 bekeken.</p>
<p><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/M0mXUC0cUPg&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" width="425" height="344" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></p>
<p>Ook commercieel is de campagne een succes. Sitebezoek steeg exponentieel en het aantal offertes kende een stijging van maar liefst 90% ten opzichte van dezelfde periode vorig jaar. <a href="http://mashable.com/2009/04/05/compare-the-meerkat/" target="_blank">Hier</a> meer facts&figures.</p>
<p>Of hoe door social media in te schakelen in het communicatie touch point een intrinsiek saai product de aandacht van potentiële klanten weet te trekken.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.uniqlo.com" target="_blank">UNIQLO</a></strong></p>
<p>UNIQLO is de <a href="http://www.gapinc.com/" target="_blank">Gap</a> van Japan. Een retailer waarbij de kleding zelf (t-shirts, polo’s, parka’s, etc…) misschien niet meteen zo heel bijzonder zijn. Hun manier van communicatie voeren is dat des te meer. UNIQLO won in 2008 de Grand Prix op het <a href="http://www.canneslions.com/" target="_blank">Cannes Lions</a>-reclamefestival in de categorie Titanium en Cyber met hun <a href="http://www.projector.jp/awards/uniqlock/everlasting/" target="_blank">UNIQLOCK</a> campagne.</p>
<p>In plaats van de zoveelste droge productcatalogus presenteerde UNIQLO zijn nieuwe productlijnen in een reeks van screensavers, widgets en mobiele applicaties. Hoeveel en waar precies ter wereld deze UNIQLOCKS geïnstalleerd en bekeken worden is te zien op <a href="http://www.uniqlo.jp/uniqlock/#world" target="_blank">deze site</a>.</p>

</p>
<p>Leuke cases zal je zeggen, maar waar blijven de succesverhalen uit eigen land? Is het misschien net omdat iedereen zit te wachten op succesvolle voorbeelden dat het hier stil blijft? Toch een geslaagde campagne tegengekomen? Laat het dan weten via de comments onderaan.</p>
<p>Afsluiten doe ik met een <a href="http://mashable.com/2009/04/26/zappos/" target="_blank">quote</a> van Tony Hseih, CEO van Zappos, die de kern van deze blogpost mooi samenvat:</p>
<p>“Brand building today is so different than what it was 50 years ago. 50 years ago you could get a few marketing people in a small room and decide, ‘this is what our brand will be’, and then spend a lot of money on TV advertising - and that was your brand. If you as a consumer only had your neighbors to talk to, you had to believe what the TV was telling you. Today anyone, whether it is an employee or a customer, if they have a good or bad <strong>experience</strong> with your company they can blog about it or Twitter about it and it can be seen by millions of people.<strong> It’s what they say now that is your brand.</strong>"</p>

	<title><![CDATA[Klare lijn]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<img alt="" src="/public/Herge2.jpg" /><br /><br />Ik heb Louvain-la-Neuve altijd een spookstad gevonden. Een beetje zoals van die verlaten skioorden in de zomer. Grauw en leeg. Als kind vond ik LLN maar een enge stad. Maar de laatste jaren is men er aan een heuse relance bezig; het winkelcentrum is volledig vernieuwd (een <a href="http://www.fnac.be">Fnac</a> lekker dicht bij de deur!), je hebt er parkeerplaats te over en nu opent er ook het <a href="http://www.museeherge.com/">Herg&eacute; museum</a>.<br /><br />Oorspronkelijk zou het museum in Brussel komen, maar dat werd dus LLN. Een trio experts - de Herg&eacute;-biograaf Philippe Godin, de voormalige directeur van het Franse stripmuseum Thierry Groensteen en de Nederlandse illustrator en stripauteur <a href="http://www.joostswarte.com/">Joost Swarte</a> - werd ingehuurd om een scenario voor het museum te schrijven. <br />   <br />Acht jaar na de offici&euml;le aankondiging is het Herg&eacute;-museum eindelijk een feit. Het huist in een indrukwekkend gebouw van de Franse architect <a href="http://www.chdeportzamparc.com/">Christian de Portzamparc</a>. Vanaf dinsdag 2 juni is het open voor publiek.<br /><br />Naast natuurlijk een pak originele tekeningen, is er ook veel grafisch werk te zien. Vooral uit zijn beginperiode, toen Herg&eacute; nog om den brode prachtige affiches maakte. <br /><br />Wat ik niet wist, is dat Joost Swarte de uitvinder van de <a href="javascript:void(0);/*1243792801688*/">klare lijn</a> is; nadien verder uitgepuurd door oa. onze eigen <a href="http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ever_Meulen">Ever Meulen</a> en natuurlijk Swarte zelf. De Haarlemse graficus, hield naast grafiek ook veel van muziek, en illustreerde dan ook regelmatig platenhoezen. Hieronder 2 exemplaren uit mijn persoonlijke collectie early Dutch punk.<br /><br />&nbsp; <img src="/public/TheRousers.jpg" style="width: 253px; height: 253px;" alt="" />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="../../../../public/Squits.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />Rijk is hij er vast niet van geworden, maar een beetje graficus maalt daar niet om. De gedrukte hoes in je handen houden, de inkt nog nat. De geur van vers drukwerk: d&agrave;t is waarvoor je het doet. Dat Swarte nog steeds een even gedreven graficus is als toen, getuige dit fijne stukje uit een interview met hem in de <a href="http://www.standaard.be">Standaard</a> van dit weekend.<br /><br /><img src="../../../../public/Herge.jpg" alt="" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" />Een nederlandse website zijn ze voor het gemak even vergeten, maar dat mag de pret niet drukken. Op naar Louvain-la-Neuve, naar het nieuwe Herg&eacute; museum!<br clear="all" /><br clear="all" />]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Cassettepost]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<img src="/public/Cassettepost.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />Going through a box of old stuff this weekend, I came across this great innovative product by the Belgian Post. Back in the eighties, they launched an idea called "Cassettepost". It consisted of an empty cassette and a stamped envelope; all you had to do, was put the cassette in your taperecorder, record a message and mail it to the recipient. Magic! What a way to build dialogues. Not sure if it was a big success though. Anyone of you ever used it?<br /><br />The example shown here was used by the worst Belgian band ever, the Bad Preachers, to distribute their first demo tape.<br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" /><br clear="all" />]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Setting type]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<img alt="" src="/public/Typesampler.jpg" /><br /><br />Some of you may have forgotten, but there were days when you couldn't just open your laptop, launch InDesign, type a few words and print some type. <br /><br />Type used to be set by typesetters; real craftsman. Word for word, letter by letter. Setting type would cost you a small fortune, so you'd better prepare you work well.  Just a handfull of different typefaces were available back then, and you would have to choose them from type samplers. Beautiful books they were and they still are.<br /><br />Check this incredible <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/n1ke/sets/690970/show/with/163557673/">flickr set</a> to see what I mean.
