COLOPHON PRODUCTION: Innovation Origins: Frans van Beveren & Bart Brouwers Mikrocentrum: Susanne van Doornik & Anouk Brekelmans TEXT: Bart Brouwers Aafke Eppinga Milan Lenters Elcke Vels TRANSLATION: Helen Crowe Brenda Arnold DESIGN: Frans van Beveren ABOUT THE COVER An enormous microscope, surrounded by dozens of ‘Pietjes Precies’: This is the heart of the cover created by John Heijink for the 20th Precision Fair. “My work always consists of future-oriented parodies of existing situations. This assignment gave me the chance to go all out, especially since precision technology is literally taking our world into the future.” Heijink calls his style the “Clear Line on Turbo”. He first draws all the individual elements, then shrinks them digitally and ‘sticks’ them onto the final drawing. This creates the typical, unique John Heijink technique.
