    just human just normal

    What does it really mean to be human?

    At first glance, the answer seems obvious. We are all human. We all laugh, cry, hope, dream, and make mistakes. Yet throughout history, people have often tried to define humanity in different ways. Culture, religion, politics, traditions, and personal beliefs have all shaped how people see one another. Sadly, these differences can sometimes create distance instead of understanding.

    The truth is much simpler than many people make it. We are all just human. We are all just normal.

    Despite the conflicts we see in the news and the divisions that seem to dominate social media, the vast majority of people simply want the same things. They want to feel safe. They want to love and be loved. They want to care for their families, spend time with friends, and build a meaningful life. These shared desires connect us far more than our differences ever could.

    Fear is often what separates people. Fear of the unknown. Fear of someone who looks different, speaks another language, or has another background. When fear takes over, it becomes easier to judge than to understand. Yet when we replace fear with curiosity, empathy, and kindness, something beautiful happens. Conversations become more open. Understanding grows. Forgiveness becomes possible. We begin to see people for who they really are instead of the labels attached to them.

    The world is full of ordinary people doing extraordinary acts of kindness every single day. They help neighbours, volunteer in their communities, support friends through difficult times, and care for complete strangers. These actions rarely make headlines, but they make the world a better place.

    One inspiring example is Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders). This remarkable humanitarian organisation provides medical care in some of the world’s most challenging environments. Their doctors, nurses, and volunteers help people regardless of nationality, religion, ethnicity, or political beliefs. Their work reminds us that compassion has no borders and that every human life deserves dignity and care.

    Being “just human” doesn’t mean being perfect. Quite the opposite. It means accepting that we all have strengths and weaknesses. We all experience joy and sadness. We all have hopes, fears, and dreams. Nobody is a superhuman. Nobody has all the answers.

    that’s exactly what makes humanity so beautiful.

    The just human, just normal poster was created to celebrate this simple but powerful idea. Its colourful typography is inspired by the rainbow, a symbol that has long represented hope, peace, diversity, inclusion, and love. The different colours remind us that while every individual is unique, together we create something stronger and more beautiful.

    The design is intentionally clean and straightforward because the message doesn’t need unnecessary decoration. Sometimes the simplest words carry the greatest meaning. A poster can brighten a room, but it can also start conversations. It can remind us every day to choose understanding over judgement and kindness over fear.

    So typo chaotic doesn’t see itself as a hero or a movement. It’s simply a creative studio that believes good design can communicate meaningful ideas. Every poster is designed to inspire thought, encourage positivity, and bring a little more humanity into everyday life. Small reminders can make a surprisingly big difference.

    Whether you hang this poster in your living room, office, classroom, or creative workspace, it serves as a gentle reminder that we all belong to the same human family. Beneath our different appearances, opinions, and experiences, we share far more than we often realise.

    Because in the end, that’s all any of us really are.

    Just human.

    Just normal.

  • where does the inspiration come from?

    where does the inspiration come from?

    Where the inspiration comes from is actually a tricky question – and yet, in a way, it isn’t. Everyone has their own tastes and needs. It might sound strange at first, but even a radio can be a source of inspiration. Sometimes you only realise afterwards why that radio inspired you. For instance, typo was recently watching an episode of Design Docs on YouTube when it dawned on me who had designed this radio. That’s where connections were made that are beautiful simply because of the connection itself.

    names

    The Dutch artist Wim T. Schippers was a true all-rounder. He created installations, as well as high-profile TV and theatre programmes. Unusual, and yet so often ordinary. That is a strength in itself. After his death in 2026 typo made a poster with Wim T. Schippers as source of inspiration.

    As a child typo was already fascinated by the band Kraftwerk. And as a child, you don’t really know why. The sounds, the rhythm. Perhaps the innovation in pop music? Later, the design and the consistency that the band exudes were added to that.

    A typical example of finding objects interesting without really knowing why is the work of Dieter Rams. Mainly because it was only through documentaries that I first became acquainted with the objects Rams designed. A typical moment of connections that you simply sense.

    Radiohead’s music is a classic example of music on a different level. At least for me. With their music, images and emotions come together. The connection between head and heart creates new images.

    Anton Corbijn is a Dutch photographer who is particularly famous for his portraits of musicians. He is also a filmmaker and has been involved in designing album covers. Corbijn knows how to incorporate refinement into rawness. His work for Depeche Mode and U2 is particularly well known to international audiences.

    where does the inspiration come from updates

    This blog post, where does the inspiration come from, will be updated regularly. That’s because inspiration changes. And because sometimes you know things without realising it. And when that becomes clear, it’s nice to incorporate it into this blog.

  • free people a message

    free people a message

    This free people poster is an expression of hope that one day everyone will truly be free. That is the free people message. Where you are or where you come from should not matter. What matters is that you also grant others true freedom. With so many wars and so much oppression, it is good to hold on to this hope. Respecting one another means respecting humanity. And, after all, you yourself are part of humanity.

    message?

    Actually, we shouldn’t have to fight for freedom at all. Freedom should simply be a given. In that sense, the poster conveys the message that this freedom is not a given for everyone. And that we still have to fight for this freedom. Just look at the work of Amnesty International. There is still a lot to be done. And although this message is presented in the form of a simple yet attractive poster, that doesn’t make it any less important.

    Now available in the typo chaotic poster shop.

    the story behind Bink Schippers and typo chaotic

    People sometimes wonder whether it is Bink or typo. My name is Bink, and there is a story behind it. My wife, family and friends have called me Bink for many years. I’m married to the wonderful Mrs Schippers, who is also a creative person, so becoming Bink Schippers felt completely natural. That’s also how the name behind typo chaotic came to life.

    I was born in the Netherlands more than sixty years ago and have been living in Berlin, Germany, for several years. Although I’ve worked in different professions throughout my life, two passions have always remained constant: graphic design and photography. Creating images, designing layouts and telling stories visually are things I simply love to do.

    Looking back, I realise that creativity has always been part of who I am. As a child, I spent hours cutting and sticking pieces of paper together, making homemade newspapers, posters and little magazines. I loved creating something from nothing. There was always another idea waiting to be explored.

    then photography entered my life.

    My very first camera was an old Praktica MTL, and to me it felt almost magical. It opened my eyes to the world in a completely different way. Unfortunately, it didn’t last very long before it broke, but that only strengthened my desire to keep photographing. Before long, I managed to save enough money for another camera, and from that moment on my camera became my constant companion. Wherever I went, photography allowed me to observe the world more carefully and appreciate the beauty hidden in everyday moments.

    the computer that changed everything

    A completely new chapter began when my first computer arrived: an Apple LC II with a 12-inch colour monitor, a mouse and a printer. Looking back, it sounds incredibly basic compared to today’s technology, but at the time it felt revolutionary.

    Those were the days of floppy disks. Creating a backup could easily require twenty disks or more. It’s hard to imagine now, when enormous files fit comfortably in cloud storage or on a tiny USB drive. Even owning a printer felt like stepping into the future.

    That first Apple computer introduced me to an entirely new creative world. Suddenly I could combine photography with digital design, typography and illustration. It wasn’t simply about using software—it was about discovering new ways to express ideas.

    Over the years I have worked on countless creative projects, including graphic design, presentations, photography and even film production. Every project taught me something new. Every challenge helped me grow as a designer and visual storyteller.

    always a beginner

    Despite decades of experience, I still consider myself a beginner. Some people might see that as strange, but I think it’s one of my greatest strengths. Seeing yourself as a beginner means remaining curious. It means staying open to new techniques, new ideas and new perspectives instead of believing you’ve already learned everything.

    I’ve always been a self-learner. I enjoy experimenting, making mistakes and discovering better solutions. Being critical—both of my own work and of the world around me—helps me continue improving. At the same time, I never forget to admire great design wherever I find it.

    One lesson I’ve learned over the years is that simplicity often communicates more powerfully than complexity. Colour can be beautiful, but minimalism can be equally expressive. The challenge is finding the right balance. Good design isn’t about adding more; it’s about knowing what to leave out.
