Hi, my name is Isabel van de Stadt and I’m a graphic designer experimenting within a wide range of mediums and materials—including ceramics, photography, moving image and bookmaking. I like to work with a hands-on approach and an open mind. My work reflects my curiosity for themes like craftsmanship, physics, perception, and form. Currently I’m in my fourth year of the bachelor Graphic Design at ArtEZ Arnhem. 

Feel free to contact me if you have questions or want to say hello! I’m open for commisions and collaborations.

Dream Psychology
Book, 2023

Redesign of the book Dream Psychology: Psychoanalysis for Beginners (1920), written by Sigmund Freud. I took the partly logical and partly illogical nature of dreams as a starting point and translated this into the design of the book by balancing between a readable novel-like book design and a more experimental book design. I distorted the shape of the text by placing cloud-like shapes through the text. Next to that, the page numbers are repositioned slightly on every page, creating a faded effect as they are printed on see through paper. And lastly, the chapter dividers are pop-up pages illustrating abstract dreamscapes.
