citylikeyou — Groningen / Dennis De Vries

My name is Dennis de Vries, and I’m currently living in Groningen, The Netherlands. I am a Graphic Artist, and studying Graphic Design at Academie Minerva (Groningen, Art Academy). The past 5 years i’ve been busy with graphics and coding, in all kinds of ways. What started as a hobby, ended up as my main focus (and future!) Typography and print are my main interests. I am currently Freelancing, and looking for representation.

Groningen / Academy

This is the (work)shop for students at Academie Minerva (Art Academy Groningen) and is located in their facility. Old prints and typography-families everywhere are so inspiring. All typefaces are located here, including old machines for perfect hand-crafted work.

Groningen / School

The Architecture School is such an inspiring building. Minimalistic with a grid!

Groningen / Museum

Based in the water is the biggest eyecatcher when you visit Groningen. Again, a great architectural building, but this one has a-symmetrical shapes. The Groninger Museum is not only a museum but also a restaurant and an innovative info centre.
