Agency Helder Marketing asked illustrator Michiel Nagtegaal to re-design some print materials for one of their clients, Zwemschool Tuimelaer (Swimschool Tuimelaer).

Thinking beyond the briefing I proposed a creative concept where the level of progress of kids is visualized by cartoon characters. Each of the six cartoon characters has a different skillset, fitting the level of progress of each kid. They 'walk' the kids through the courses.

The dolphin, taken from the logo, was re-designed together with the logo itself and represents the ultimate goal of the swim courses.

The vector illustrations where made in Adobe Illustrator to ensure the quality in print as well as online.
