Studio for digital design and visual communications

Patrik de Jong is the Creative Director of Artificial Rome. It’s not always the easiest job when you’re dealing with a bunch of individualists and – let’s face it – nerds. Astonishingly, he manages to keep up with this matter-of-fact feature and still works as an excellent designer with an ingenious output.

Born in 1979 in Bochum, Germany, he started out by the age of 18 and was dragged along by the new economy hype. 

Aged 20 Patrik started freelancing at various advertising agencies (W+K, HiRes!, Leo Burnett, Tribal DDB amongst others), studying Communication & Illustration Design in the meantime. In 2004 he teamed up with Dirk Hoffmann, they would co-found Artificial Rome in 2014. Since then, the team has, in successive years, received many awards in prestigious competitions including the Cannes Lions, the Art Directors Club,the Red Dot Award and the New York Festivals. 

Patrik has been a speaker at the OFFF Festival, Resonate, ADC Conference, Playground Festival and was Guest Lecturer at the HAW, FH Lübeck and the Miami Ad School.

Graphic Design

Audiovisual designer & musician with a crush for winegums.


As a filmmaker, he has been represented with his abstract short films in recent years at several international film festivals. He has discovered his greatest passion at the interface of image and sound and occasionally likes to work with live projections. In addition to his visual work, sound is more than important for Kuş. He is a musician in several bands and is currently developing his solo project KARGA. As much as he likes heavily distorted guitar sounds, he likes to ride his fancy folding bike especially to the vending machine in the night and grab some winegums.

Generative Art

Exploring the connection between sound and form.

The South African visual artist's work ranges from music videos and digital artworks to generative realtime live visuals and performances.

Joëlles approach is highly experimental, producing an output that is often unexpected and unknown at the start. Using frequencies and minimal structures she embraces the imperfections that emerge from her process as she tries to capture the atmosphere and emotions that she feels in the moment.

Her works range from music videos and digital artworks to generative realtime visuals and performance, and are constructed of computer generated images driven by audio, resulting in images and forms that are largely sculpted by sound.
She  also works as a product designer, creating elegant and usable experiences while exploring and understanding how humans interact with technology.

He is a graphic designer specializing in systems for cities, events, institutions and transit systems. His creation of the 1968 Mexico Olympics identity built him an international reputation as a graphic designer and the resulting design program, a multidimensional integration of logos, typography and color, is considered a pinnacle of environmental and branding design.

Over the past 5 decades he has helped to define the field of environmental graphics. He teaches corporate and way finding design at Parsons where he has been a visiting lecturer since 1973. 

Graphic Design, Illustration & Custom Typography

At the end of 2008, after working in agencies and studios between Barcelona, Düsseldorf and Munich, Marta Cerdà won the ADC Young Guns and decided to found her own studio. Since then she worked on global projects which call for Art Direction, Design, Illustration and Custom Typography for Arts, Culture and Advertising Clients.

Musketon is the creative alter ego of Bert. 

Based in Belgium, he's an award winning graphic designer trying to conquer the world with his car, Toon and himself. Musketon followed the Exit signs to follow his dream which is to become the self employed creative he's always wanted to be.

He commits lots of time and sleepless nights to make it up to this point on the ladder. Right now, he is able to do what he loves doing the most. Time well invested, if you ask me. 

Today he is focussing on working with a select number of brands that he can relate to (Mazda for instance) and developing personal art projects.
