Koninklijke Schouwburg

Aaron Sikkink — Sun, 19 Sep 2010 12:40:46 +0000

A new assignment for Basic Orange to design the new website for the “Koninklijke Schouwburg”. My purpose was to give them a highly customizable website. Each page can be filled with additional content and added special colors to match a specific production/event. The advanced CMS by Umbraco makes all that possible and very easy to customize. I also created a newsletter to match the new design.

Holland Festival

Aaron Sikkink — Sat, 23 May 2009 12:23:13 +0000

For Basic Orange we won the pitch to do the honors of designing the new Holland Festival website. The design is done by me and Henk Jan Bouwmeester (and concept). Website is visually modular built, with various sections to give visitors a clear insight to the events in a new way. The large backgrounds can be easily managed from the back-end, and so can each page/event be updated with ease.

Unilever Xchange

Unilever asked Basic Orange to design their internal change program (Xchange). I designed the “Xchange” intranet website and did all of the flash work. Appetite (UK Agency) supplied the (excellent) artwork for me to use.

Housequake

Aaron Sikkink — Tue, 12 May 2009 12:44:44 +0000

Housequake.com saw the light of day on June 7th, 1997. On Prince’s birthday…. 12 years online to support a very prolific artist named Prince. I was the founder and designer of the Housequake Prince fan community, with at it’s peak more than 35.000 registered members. It contained the most extensive Prince discography online, interviews with related artists, exclusive photography and lot’s more.

After surviving a couple of legal threats from Prince (see my other Prince side project Prince Fans United), I decided to pull the plug in February 2009. “Kill your darlings” as they say…

The Housequake website has already been too much changed (read crippled) by Prince’s efforts to gain control over our content. It’s the feeling you have, when a burglar robbed your house. It’s just not your house anymore. And the fact remains that I can’t afford to pay an army of lawyers to keep a decent non-profit community up and running the way I want to, even when I operate within international laws.

Nevertheless, I can look back and feel proud over what we accomplished. And we did that together, so now it’s time for some name dropping: Adele, Alan, Alexander, Anders, André, Andrea, Arjen, Ben, Bo, Brett, Camron, Cornelia, Craig, Dansa, Darryl, Davy, Dez, Dirk Jan, Erik, Eric, Franky, Gary, Gavin, Greg, Gregory, Gry, Hans, Harry, Hucky, Ian, Jeroen, Jimmy, Joe, Joeri, John, Joozt, José, Karyn, Kees, Kosta, Kostas, Lars, Marika, Marja, Mark, Marloes, Marthijn, Mathieu, Melissa, Michael, Michelle, Milly, Nigel, Nik, Nick, Patrick, Pat, Paul, Per, Phil, Pieter, Praveer, Rashid, Robbie, Sam, Sandra, Sarah, Stefan, Stijn, Susanna, Sym, Tammy, Tim, Timothy, Toby, Todd, Toto, Ucintats, Vicki, Yuri and everyone else I forgot. Thank you all!

SSBA (Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam) asked Basic Orange for a dynamic & flexible frontpage which can show various events in different ways. The background slowly changes it’s color, so the general feel never stays the same. Concept by Henk Jan Bouwmeester.

Aaron Sikkink — Mon, 11 May 2009 12:26:09 +0000

I was asked to design the new ‘Rekenkamer Amsterdam’ website for Basic Orange. The site has various sections which needed their own look and feel. I accomplished that by changing header visuals and adding fresh colors.
