Project overview:
The goal was to make a historical topic relevant for a modern audience (ages 18–25).
We chose an old-school visual style to match the time period, focusing on rhythm and tone instead of only flashy visuals.
My main role was research, concept development, and scriptwriting.

Research concept:
I started with desk research into Wilhelmina Drucker and the feminist movement.
My girlfriend, Ellefien Visser, shared personal insight through her connection to Dolle Mina, which gave the story emotional depth and authenticity.
This helped shape our approach.

Storyboard/script
I built the storyboard around pacing and rhythm to create a sense of progression.
The script was written to connect visuals and words emotionally, rather than just explain facts.
This combination turned research into a short narrative that’s simple, engaging, and reflective.

Visuals
We moved from bold, modern visuals to a vintage-inspired tone that better fit the historical theme.
Soft tones, clean composition, and minimal motion kept focus on the message.

The final concept presents Wilhelmina Drucker’s message in a timeless and accessible way.
It connects activism of the past with the conversations happening today.

Reflection
This project taught me how research, rhythm, and collaboration work together in design.
I grew in how I plan, communicate, and adapt creatively even while working from home.
For next period, I want to explore presentation and motion storytelling further.
