Lava creates visual identity and digital publication Spoorbeeld

Spoorbeeld, developed by Bureau Spoorbouwmeester, sets the guidelines for the design of all the trainstation surroundings in the Netherlands.

The digital publication discloses all information, leglislation and inspiration regarding the experience of the Dutch railways in a clear and visually attractive way.
