About

Sylvia is a very bright student, talented illustrator and pleasant person to work with. As a student, she has an intelligent conceptual appraoch and is open towards recommendations and critics. I see a bright future in front of her!

Sylvia composed my business cards, post cards, and banner for my company Hout & Nieuw. I am very satisfied with the result, so I forwarded her to other friends. She now (a.o.) made a incredibly gorgeous animated trailer for the novel Of Ik Gek Ben and sells her beautiful Silly Moments drawings in my shop.  

Sylvia is a star in putting herself in the place of the target audience she is working for. And – most importantly – without losing any of her creativity. She is someone who thinks along during the process of making the illustrations asked for and works detailed and structured. Until both she and her customer are happy with the result. Sylvia is a great pleasure to work with, also because of her open minded approach to all new things coming her way!  

Sylvia worked on a double cover for HanzeMag (7000 units per issue). Sylvia has to be one of the best and most professional illustrators I have worked with. The end result was spectacular, and exactly what we had discussed. That month’s issue was actually the most well-received issue since the re-design! I would highly recommend Sylvia to anyone looking for quality image-making and clear communication throughout.

Although Sylvia is an illustrator she definitely is a graphic art talent as well. She designed a researchposter for me. She accompanied the process from the very beginning and brings on different possibilities. She translated my wishes into a beautiful and very unique poster. I presented the poster on several conferences, with succes! The poster was nominated for a posteraward twice and I even won a posterprice on one conference in 2010!    

The Explanimates are diligent, professional and creative. They grasped our complicated brief quickly and produced very impressive results, on time and within budget. Highly recommended.

Sylvia maakt logo’s, huisstijl, tekeningen en doet de opmaak van o.a. programmaboeken en flyers voor verschillende circussen. Altijd geheel in de stijl van het circus. Ze werkt snel, professioneel en altijd met een mooi eindresultaat en dit horen we ook terug van onze klanten. Ik ken geen ontwerper waar ik liever mee werk.

Sylvia is de Optimus Prime van de Illustrators. Ze komt, ziet en maakt er beeld van. Sylvia denkt analytisch, snel en vanuit perspectief. Ze werkt snel, nauwkeurig en kleurt binnen de lijntjes. Ze vertelt jouw verhaal op een manier die iedereen raakt en bovenal is ze een stralend zonnetje in de omgang. Oftewel: ik gun iedereen een Sylvia!  

De communicatie was altijd goed, Sylvia en Iris begrepen ook goed wat onze ideeën en verwachtingen waren op basis van het eerste gesprek en de toegestuurde informatie en hebben alle tussentijdse feedback naar tevredenheid opgepakt. Met een mooi eindresultaat als gevolg! Dus hopelijk tot een volgende keer!”

It is a pleasure to work with Sylvia. With only a brief description of the purpose and goals, she’s is able to draw several creative concepts, discuss these in an open and transparant way, and finally delivers high quality in time.  

The infographic Sylvia van Schie designed for us proved very effective, our clientbase responded well to it. The infographic she designed is modern, clarifying, but also fun and creative, exactly what we we’re aiming for. Looking forward to making use of her services again!

Sylvia’s drawings are to the point and sometimes purposely ‘carelessly’. She exactly knew what our publishing company and the author wanted. But she also threw in her own creativity! And she delivered her work on time!  

I can highly recommend Sylvia van Schie, she has done a great job as illustrator of our scientific poster for an international conference. At a national congress for clinical psychologists in the Netherlands in 2010, an earlier version of this poster won an award.
