SOOPKNIFE/graphics Graphic Design by Yuri Huijg My assignments vary enormously from A to Z: if it sparks my braincells, I will dive in headfirst.

Starting at the very early age of five to achieve a career in professional dance taught me focus and goals through hard work and discipline. After a successful dance career spanning 15 years my passion for Graphics and Brand Concepts grew and I formally completed 4 years of studies covering Graphic Design, Typography, DTP, Concept Development and Web Design in 2010. After graduating with honours,

I worked as Creative Designer for a Dutch advertising agency and alongside this role I developed Soopknife (previously called wHYage graphiX). Works to date are for print, digital and web, stills and motion graphics, including: advertising, image manipulation, retouch & enhancement, creative concepts, logo- and brand development, corporate identities, typography, visual communication, campaigns, magazines, packaging, artwork, illustrations, websites, animations, visualisations. Through the skills gained in my all-round studies and hands-on experience I am able to offer a complete package: from sketch to finished product, able to execute almost all elements myself. I'm a passionate designer with a keen eye for detail who balances the client’s wishes, needs and deadlines while still remaining true to my aesthetics and relevance to current trends. This includes offering sometimes (maybe less obvious) graphic solutions to achieve the ultimate goal: getting the message across to the target group(s). My starting point is usually outside the box, but I am definately still able to think inside it too. Most skilled within Photoshop, but I can also easily work with the CS programs Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver (html/css) & InDesign and certainly not afraid, even eager to learn and study more when required to keep on top of new developments.

Here's the trailer for the 24th edition of Roze Filmdagen - the Amsterdam LGBTQ Film Festival. An all online edition from 11-21 March.

At the request of the festival I've updated last year's trailer, since it was hardly ever in action due to the cancellation of the festival. It provided a rare opportunity to finetune. Happy!

For the 3rd consecutive year I had the honour and pleasure to create the campaign visual, collateral, a mini-expo and the trailer/ident for the 23rd Amsterdam Film Festival Roze Filmdagen 2020. On the actual opening day in March, 'that' virus forced the entire festival to get cancelled. Forward half a year and "RFD Redux", corona-proof, is now a fact - with an expansion to Rotterdam.

Campaign created for a concert by Claire Munting and Luba Podgayskaya, originally planned to celebrate the arrival of Spring. After "Tuesday Travels", a series of four intimate lunch concerts (corona proof), the postponed concert is back on the calendar on 19 Sept welcoming Autumn. Promise made, Promise kept.

And so another inspiring project comes to the pointy end: The Grand Final of Musica Viva Australia's inaugural Strike A Chord is on today! A brand new competition for which I was lucky enough to develop the overall branding and logo, print advertisements, trophies, t-shirts, on-screen graphics and the Program Guide: https://musicaviva.com.au/strikeachord/strike-chord-program/
A special mention to Claire Munting, who dropped this brilliant name suggestion last year for the -then still unnamed- competition and let me strike that chord with my employer :-)
The Grand Final will be streamed live from several locations across Australia via Melbourne Digital Concert Hall at 2pm (AEST )...for free! Tune in and vote!

Pretty proud of the trailer (that 'premiered' this weekend) for the Amsterdam Film Festival Roze Filmdagen 2020. After 2 years with 'cute' animations, I opted this year for a more dynamic approach - with soundtrack, so turn up the volume! 🐧🎬

Next weekend a new edition of What You See Festival kicks off and I got to create the campaign visual again.
Together with a refreshed logo and the rollout of posters, flyers, flags and a magazine cover, it was a very enjoyable creative process! Thank you Vincent Wijlhuizen, Annette Van Zwoll and Ieme Soes for the trust.
