Jelle Gijsberts is an illustrator from Amersfoort, the Netherlands. He’s got a fantastic imagination which is visible throughout his portfolio. Since his graduation, he has been freelancing in the field of illustration and animation. He has illustrated children’s books and has worked with clients like Chupa Chups, Clini Clowns and Unicef.
Jelle prefers working in Flash, Photoshop and Illustrator and tries to use and combine these as much as possible. The most important advantage while working digital is that you don’t have to plan, sketch and think everything through before you start. Any mistake can easily disappear with a simple ctrl + z. You don’t need to throw away the whole drawing. As a result, there is less frustration and much more freedom.

The Efteling is located in the town of Kaatsheuvel, in the municipality of Loon op Zand and has received over 100 million visitors.

The success of the Efteling has been attributed largely to its high-quality ride designs, it’s architecture and it’s pleasant green environments and gardening. The park, under the aegis of its creative directors, has always had high standards.
Willem van der Sluis is a Dutch product designer. His designs are widely ranged around repetition and rhythm. This results in modular clusters and efficient systems that are easy to use, easy to transport and also very easy to transform. He would often ask him self questions like, ‘Does the world really need another lamp? And if so, how can these designs add value, something different, new features or functionality to exciting designs?’

Willem’s design firm called Customr, is based in Amsterdam and has an excellent repertoire of work. Some of Willem’s most inspiring works are the Aircon luminaire that was produced by Luceplan and the SportDome, a project that Willem and his team created for the Dutch Department of Justice.
