About me

My name is Mick Theunis and I'm a Graphic Design student from the Netherlands. I study at Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam. I mostly design posters and logos. I like to play volleyball and games in my spare time.

Socials

Venco

I made these posters for school. The exercise was to choose an existing food brand and create promotions for it in another country. I chose to advertise Venco liquorice in Japan. I designed a mascot for the brand and designed him in several poses to use for my work. So I made 2 posters and 8 Instagram posts with the mascot. I decided on making the mascot very cartoony. I did this because, when I looked at advertisements in Japan with characters, they were all very cartoony. So I made mine very cartoony.

Political Party

This was a group exercise. We made a new political party. We created a new political party. My role in this exercise was to design the logo for our party, along with the slogan and a campaign poster. I designed the logo this way because our party stands for unity and collaboration towards a better future. Therefore, I created a logo featuring four hands holding each other. In the center of the hands, I designed an image of two arrows pointing towards each other, resembling an infinity sign. This symbolizes the concept of everyone helping each other. For the campaign poster I went for a simple design. I selected a picture of two hands holding each other. I reviewed many pictures to find the right one with the appropriate personality. I chose this one because of the angle of the arms and the small tattoo on the arm. I placed the logo between the arms, giving the impression that the arms are holding the logo together. For the typography, I decided to color the words 'together' and 'future' and underline them to make them stand out more.

Taskforce Dekkend Netwerk

This is a logo I created for a new startup company that is working to improve the education system. Aiming to make support for mental disabilities like ADHD, dyslexia, and autism more accessible. I designed the logo this way because the two white parts resemble abstract hands. I used the colors blue and green because they represent freshness and peace. For the business card and letterhead, I opted for a design that is both playful and professional.

Stoc

This is something I made for an own made up industry. I called it Stoc and it's a paint/graffiti shop. I decided on the logo with the animal a frog. They come in many different colors. many different sizes. They are simply versatile and that's why I thought it was the right pick for my industry. For the paper and the envelope I decided on something a bit exciting and busy.

Funeral card

This is a funeral card I made for my grandma. The idea behind the bird is that it is flying through a canvas. As if flying out a window. The deeper meaning of it is basically the soul being freed from the body. I kept it very simple for a nice and classic design. On the inside of the card I let the canvas stay on the left page and the bird on the right page. On the inside there is also a bookmark with a poem on it, and on the back there is a link to a charity website.

Dutch Design Weekend

This is all I designed for the Dutch Design Weekend. I chose for a chameleon as the character for my logo. They change color and become something they want to be. Like artist they create art in the way they want, they show their perspective of the world through their art. I chose two different fonts that are very different, again to show the difference in the people that show their work. The color green stands for freshness and balance.

Monogram

This is a monogram I made of my name. I decided to you use the T in my name as a sword imbedded in the M. I let the M wrap around the T to create more depth in the picture.

Leather mask

This is a leather mask I made. Firstly I found went looking for masks online to see what kind of mask I wanted to create. I found this template that I redesigned to make it my own. Then I started playing with the size of the template and printing it, then putting it together to see if it was the right size. After I found a size I was happy with I started to tape the template on my leather to cut it out. When everything was cut out I used an awl to make the holes so I could sow it all together. Lastly when everything was sown together and the straps on the back were added onto it this came out.

Lowpoly

This is a lowpoly I made of Jack Black. I just grabbed a picture and outlined him in illustrator. Then I just made a lot of tiny triangles and color picked the picture per triangle.

Double Exposure

This is a double exposure I made. I grabbed the number 5 and put Indonesian rice fields in there. I used a brush to expand the mask to let all the plant life sprout out of the five. I also added a shadow to give it a little more character.

Poster DC Nightwing

This is a poster I made of Nightwing. I gave the background that old comic feel and a strong font to the title.
