  MAGAZINE CONCEPT : A luxury magazine exclusively targeted at high net worth individuals has to be regarded as a piece of art. The editorial should strike the very nerves of the readers. The quality of graphics and printing should be the ultimate reflection of those possibilities which have not yet been seen on the market. The magazine has to represent what the high quality luxury brands stand for and the distribution must be elitist.

Olympism, About Blood, Sweat and Tears

• Co-Publisher

  • 2012 - 2014

  Fascinated by sport, the photographers Tom van Heel and Lars van den Brink visualized the Dutch sportsmen in a unique exciting way. The prospect of the Olympic Games in London made them decide to produce a fantastic book, to show the qualities of this particularly generation top-class sportsmen ‘for eternity’. Olympisme conveys in this photographic reproduction both a personal and universal depth. The book reflects the story behind the medals, the vulnerable fragile force of the interviewed sportsmen, who develop their talent, metal and physical force to surpass above themselves. Show less
