Vincent van de Waal (Leiden, 1981) studied graphic design at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. After his graduation in 2006 he started working for the Amsterdam music and club scene, designing invitations, posters and music packaging.

Besides designing printed matter, he has also been collaborating with renowned sneaker shop and street fashion brand Patta. He designed many of the brand’s graphics and also got involved in their clothing design. Van de Waal’s creations are known for their direct and uncut nature.

Both his typographic approach and his treatment of image seem at times crude and casual, yet to the trained eye they reveal a strong personal attitude and an undeniable graphic sensitivity.
