B-SIDE FESTIVAL 2011: Hannake Minten as part of Holy Grey
Assertive design from Hanneke Minten and Saskia Pouwels as Hats & Tales studio + more
Assertive and bright, Hats & Tales is the dynamic studio partnership between Rotterdam-based designers Hanneke Minten and Saskia Pouwels. Much of the confidence of the work arrives from a solution-based rethink of the initial question and shape of the projects. The collaborative outcomes include many worthy self-initiated projects like The Right to Answer which allows responses to a poster slogan to be worked directly onto the graphic or cultural designs for institutes and magazines, like the identity and print collateral for B-Side Festival. Strong work from a conscientious studio with a mind for education as well as execution of design.
