The cover of Het Parool’s PS van de Week was graced by a photograph Sabrina Bongiovanni took of Maxim Hartman. She was responsible for the photography accompanying the interview with him as well. Maxim is appropriately dressed as a silly Don Juan with cowboy boots, banana guns and a dressing gown, talking about his love for women (not one in particular).

Jaap Scheeren was asked to create images around an article about dildos. The article appeared in this year’s first issue of Das Magazin, a Swiss newspaper supplement added to four different newspapers in the weekends. Not only was Jaap responsible for the cover image, his photographs also fit in perfectly with the article. The dildos in the photographs all sit majestically in their nightstands, alone or accompanied by some suggestive vegetables.

For the Christmas cover of VRPO magazine, Krista van der Niet was asked to create a Christmas-related image.

She made a Christmas tree with a single ornament: a grenade. The grenade symbolises the feelings of stress and tension Christmas time can bring, as opposed to the cliché images you often see this time of year. Also, it stands for the troubled times and wars going on in various places in the world.

In the column ‘Object of Desire’, creatives cleverly reinterpret AnOther Magazine’s most desired objects of the season. This time, AnOther Magazine has asked Yvonne Lacet to create an image using the make-up line by Serge Lutens. The result is a beautiful, urban landscape built with paper and items from Lutens’s collection. The products Lutens has created are quite heavy, which creates an interesting contrast with the lightness of the paper.

Qiu Yang took this photograph for NRC DeLuxe. It features architect Rem Koolhaas’s most effective workplace: seat 1A on an Airbus. Because generic, unpleasant surroundings make Koolhaas concentrate, he enjoys working in airplanes, airports and hotels. The photograph shows all the things he uses while working ‘on the road’.

For the fortieth anniversary of Hans Brinker budget hotels, KesselsKramer asked Qiu Yang to create some images for a hotel fair in Barcelona.
At Hans Brinker, ‘budget’ is even cheaper than you would expect from a cheap hotel. The campaign is an apology for the typical Hans Brinker treatment one can expect in the hotel.
Qiu Yang created 4 images with a strong message of how guests are welcomed at Hans Brinker. All 4 of the images can be seen on Ads of the World.
