Sometimes you get a very special client to work with. This time I had the opportunity to make a website for a model and exclusive companion. Making a website for a client like this means you need to create a classic and high class website look and feel. I tried my best put this style in the website design.

As a graphic designer it is important to keep yourself updated with knowledge, design and image all the time. I found out that my current logo and identity diden’t match myself anymore in the year 2012. So I decided it was time for a new logo and identity. Something more simple and more classy.

Manguru is an online platform that allows users to post and share the do’s and don’ts regarding to business manners when dealing with China. It’s an absolute must for Dutch businesspeople to do some research into the vastly different Chinese culture before travelling or doing business. The platform goes beyond existing references on Chinese manners. Ways of polite social behaviour are not only described in detail, but also placed in the context of culture, history and practical, present-day use. This combined information leads to lists of do’s and don’ts, created around categories of manners and different regions.

The concept and all designs are made by me and you can visit the website on: www.manguru.nl
