About

What better than to let you know what others thought about my expertise;

“Henry is a great creative mind from the Netherlands (the best country in the world for graphic design in my opinion) who has a natural instinct for beautiful creations. Henry understands the reason why things needs to be designed a certain way. He’s a human sponge, always curious. Henry is fast and reactive, he will always give you options. If you’re looking for a sharp team player who’s not scared to tackle print work, web work, logos, guidelines, art direction and other things, contact him urgently before someone else does.”

“Henry works well in our company. We design lots of stuff and so-phis-ti-ca-ted branding too. Henry develloped really fast in our team and made amazing things. We’d like to have him back, but now he’s in Holland. That leaves us with working offline together. As a freelancer he’s very puntual and works throughout the night when we need the piece first thing in the morning. Recomended | p.d. please don’t give him 2 much work, he wouldn’t have time for us…”

Who is Henry Bauke

Henry Bauke is a graphic designer who has been living and studying in Barcelona and in The Netherlands. Finished studying the Master in Visual Communication in the Art Academy from Post St. Joost / Breda. Gained experience on working at design studios and Ad agencies for more than 4 years. Actually working as an independent contractor graphic designer for agencies.

Started to develop a strong sense of creativity in Barcelona that culminated with the superior studies of Graphic Design at the Academy of Arts & Crafts of Barcelona in 2006.

And ever since, his works have been characterized within a strong conceptual basis.

Important elements in his work are: strong and often humorous ideas, straight forward use of the techniques, a self-willed identity and an interactive approach towards the use of the designs (often inviting people to get involved with the designs). The starting point of the designs is the use of clear and direct communication, on a strong conceptual bases. The search for the essence of the message or information that needs to get through. He refuses to choose for one certain form or style; Instead, the concept dictates the form, thus the function is the most important aspect of the design. Because the visual result is never sure in previous stages, it develops itself during the design process. Sometimes this means taking a risk, but curiosity to the unknown and experimenting is the way he can ensure innovative solutions.
Since he has been qualified as an MA, he’s been learning how to work inside a big team studio. Been busy with developing ideas in a faster and efficient way. Understanding the team as a whole, thus, collaborating within the complete creative process. Being able to give fruitful input inside projects. His wish is to get the opportunity to learn together in the development of good ideas. Giving him the chance to demonstrate how he thinks and works within the  studio. Work in a team like process for that each one of the team -including the client, can think and add more to the quality of the product. The result of doing that is about giving birth to an idea that rises out from everyone. Inside the team. He becomes one more partner inside the definition of aims in each project and the construction of projects.
Enabling to nurture the company by increasing the level of work and its quality, adding more creative insights, and growing together with the company. As what you can expect from him apart of knowing that he is a graphic designer, is a person that has been raised in different grounds. Speaking English, Dutch, Spanish and others. “Living here and living there”.

A person that is very motivated and pleased by his work, and likes to be surrounded by a challenging environment, not a 9 to 5 mentality. Straight forward with thoughts, and always open for discussions!. He believes that good discussions lead to very solid conclusions. And the way of discussing is by coming up with good questions.
