Samenvatting
Sketch Cahier – Hansje van Halem: An updated spin-off from Sketchbook.
Dutch graphic designer Hansje van Halem (1978) started her Amsterdam-based studio in 2003. Specialised in typography and book design, she creates alphabets, textures and patterns, both digitally and manually. This luxurious cahier with foil print cover contains 52 pages with a dizzying array of commissioned, applied, self-generated, rejected and unfinished sketches, type drawings, motifs and experiments (both successes and failures). Unused material often becomes a source from which Hansje draws further inspiration. Sketch Cahier contains new work as well as highlights from her previous publication Sketchbook (2013).

“Drawing (type) experiments started as something I'd do in between deadlines for book de... (Lees verder)signs. I called it a hobby. I started to receive commissioned assignments based upon the detailed alphabet drawings. Drawing has more to do with systems, structures and textures than it does with letter shapes. Making a collection of letters seemed like a legitimate way to spend my time: an investment in a collection of drawings that I could later on use as content. The tension between a systematic approach, legibility and (ir)regularity are appealing to me. I find it equally interesting to only draw the textures and end up with patterns. These patterns are often used as end papers in hardcover books. I find repetitive work soothing. It calms me down and allows me some time to think about other things while being productive at the same time.”
