Hi! My name is Gerard Vink (1982), I am a graphic & typographic designer and studied Graphic Design & Typography at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (The Netherlands). After graduating I began working as a self-employed / independent designer in Rotterdam. Due to my wide interest in the world of creating and exploring, I am always looking for challenging problems to solve and interesting people to debate with.

Although I see myself primarily as a graphic & typographic designer, I strongly believe that in order to perform best within this field, other disciplines within art and design must be explored. So besides working as a graphic & typographic designer I am also highly interested in film, photography, architectural design, public space(s), cultural history and sociology.

Gerard Vink is part of the Rotterdam Collective and founder of Buro Backyard.

[Reisgedicht]

A short movie clip based on my favorite poem of the Dutch writer/poet Jules Deelder (Rotterdam, 1944) ‘Reisgedicht’. It is short, sharp and an has an unexpected twist.

[‘U bent de schuldige!’]




[Guus Vredenburg]

A flexible logo image for cooking creative Guus Vredenburg. Based on the outnumbering activities of Guus I created a concept for a renewable logo image and build a generator using Python. This formed the base for his visual identity which was further designed and completed by Paul Swagerman.
