Bol.com Bol.com Play Book Graphic design, desktop publishing, retouching, Bol.com, the largest online retailer in the Benelux, has revolutionized the way people shop for a diverse range of products. With its extensive selection, user-friendly interface, and exceptional customer service, Bol.com has become a household name in the Dutch e-commerce industry. One of Bol.com's key strengths lies in its unparalleled convenience and vast product assortment. Whether you're looking for books, electronics, home appliances, fashion, or even groceries, Bol.com has it all. With a few clicks, customers can explore an extensive catalog containing millions of items, ensuring that they can find exactly what they need. The Bol play book was brought to life to bring children the ultimate gift experience leading up to Sint-Niklaas. In a time where online shopping has become the norm, a paper book might come as a surprise. This was done after great consideration, since the book is aimed at a younger audience. The playbook combines offline and online design — like QR codes to scan products — which allows for a seamless transition from paper to their website, especially since prices vary from day to day and younger children might not understand the concept of pricing. Children can cut out any article they see and make their own personal collection for Sint-Niklaas or Christmas. The addition of the poster makes this a fun and interactive way to make a wishlist and is more than just a catalogue to browse through. My main tasks while working on the Speelgoedboek editions 2020 and 2021 were layout/editiorial design, collaborate and coordinate with others to ensure a coherent design, assisting with art direction by checking the pages and adhering to the brand guidelines, retouching of articles and photographs, and adding/tweaking illustrations. Getting excited? No matter what kind of project you have in mind, I'm confident we can turn it into something that you'll be proud of and fits all your needs. So, let's go on this design journey and create something amazing and fun! Get in touch to see what I can do for you! → NEXT PROJECT BACK TO ALL PROJECTS

Hi there! I’m Melsie, the busy worker bee behind Melsiefera Studio. I’m a graphic designer and illustrator from The Netherlands. I go through life with a buzzing brain so full of concepts and ideas I’m certain there’s a beehive in there somewhere. They’re all hard workers, but there’s only so much time in a day to turn ideas into honey. My work is characterised by bright, colourful, playful, and sometimes weird illustrations about a wide range of topics, mostly inspired by themes and struggles I experience in my own life. I hope I can somewhat brighten your day with my work, because we all deserve happy sparkles in our daily life ✨. Always bee yourself Design and illustration made fun and playful! Melsiefera Studio was founded because of my love for fun and playful design and the desire to share it with the world, while also doing my part to keep her healthy. Creativity has always been a way for me to make sense of the chaos that is my brain, and I’m on a mission to do the same for others. Some of my never-ending list of dream projects I’d love to realize are: publish a picture book, illustrate articles for magazines, and sell my creations in several stores! ​ If you think we make a great match for a project or collaboration, please don’t hesitate to contact me! I’d love to work together. You can e-mail me here or contact me here . What I've been up to on instagram

We meet again! Hello my lovely subscriber! I hope you haven’t forgotten about me yet… 😅 Unfortunately I didn’t manage to send out a newsletter for the last three months, but I’m finally here with the June edition! I wish I could say the reason for not posting is because I’ve been too busy to post any updates, but the truth is that I’ve just been too burnt out. I’ve worked so hard on the launch of my online store, portfolio and filling in job applications, that I just couldn’t really find a lot of inspiration to get me back into the creative mood. Thankfully, it’s not all doom and gloom. This month I’ve dedicated so much time and effort to get back into doing what I love, which is making drawings and products that brings out the playful side in us! So, without further ado… ...Let's get into the creative inspiration for this month! Spark your creative inspiration with these posts! 💡✨ These are some of the treasures I came across while looking for inspiration on the web. Click on the image to see the original post! Typeface of the month This wonderful font called Yellow House by Ef Studio combines the retro vibe perfectly with a modern and elegant touch.

Spring is almost here, baby! Here we are again! We’re already on the second edition of the monthly inspiration newsletter. Even though February is the shortest month of the year, the fact that it’s the last stretch before we welcome the spring season always makes it feel so long to me. I hope the upcoming month will be sunnier for you, too. Unfortunately, due to a very unexpected loss close to me, I have spent little time being creative this month. Instead, I focused on grieving and recharging; I’m going to pour all of that recharged creative energy into March. For now, I hope this batch of inspiration recharges you too and motivates you to do some creative things! Now, let's get into the creative inspiration for this month! Posts to inspire some ideas 💡✨ These month’s online treasures are a small selection of the things that inspired me. Click on the image to see the original post! Typeface of the month This font by Garisman Std reminds me of the beautiful handwritten displays at local markets, at that one particular food stall you can smell from the other side of the street. 🐟 🧀 Creative things I tried in February: One thing that helped me tremendously this month is the book The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron. This book is incredibly insightful and helps you figure out creative blocks that you come across in life and encourages you to make more time for your inner artist. The guide is 12 weeks and is based on two core principals: The Morning Pages and The Artist Date. I highly recommend this book to anyone! Feeling inspired yet?
