Freiburger Graduiertentagung Philosophie
The Freiburger Graduiertentagung für Philosophie is a German conference for young graduating philosophers which takes place in Freiburg (Germany). There will be this poster plus a book with a cover that references the design of the poster.
Das Mediale Denken
“Das Mediale Denken” is a series of lectures about new media and digital thinking at the HfG Karlsruhe. I designed the poster for the announcement and a banner for the website. It’ll take place on Mondays late 2011 and the beginning of 2012. In addition to that I designed some simple smaller posters for the individual lectures which got a different treatment.
ÉCAL Fanzine (Zine Supplement)
The Zine Supplement is a small collection of tiny fan(maga)zines about a number of art and design schools we were interested in. It is a satellite project within the Art School Observation Club seminar and everyone of us designed their own magazine for one particular school.
In my publication is an interview with graphic and interaction designer Stewart Smith which I took in the summer. It’s also online if you want to read it right now.
Art School Observation Club
The Art School Observation Club is a gathering of students who observe todays art and design schools and universities internationally by investigating their directions, types and philosophies. We collected publications from these schools all over Europe and the whole world and designed a questionnaire that is going to be sent to the schools and the students and will be published as a survey afterwards (still in progress). Together with Matthias Gieselmann I also created the website.
Remember Me, Your Favorite Book
This poster was created during a workshop by swiss graphic designer Ludovic Balland, called “Remember Me Your Favorite Book”. It should be based on typography and methods were hand, cutter and tape.
The workshop dealt with the memory of and about a book and its visualization. To translate the memory of a chosen book with typographic material and promote it.
“Faust” is a tribute to the famous German book from Johann Wolfgang Goethe and promotes and tells the story how this book and books like it shaped the days of school. Also it references the content of the book, the knowledge Faust is fighting with and the library where he worked. It features the scribblings on those books and merges modern typography with old-style typography from the time when the Faust play had its premiere.
Leben wir in einer Leistungsgesellschaft?
On July 6th 2011, German politician Sahra Wagenknecht (The Left) was at the HfG Karlsruhe for her lecture and a panel discussion with Marc Jongen (moderation), Prof. Uwe Hochmuth, Prof. Wolfgang Ullrich and initiator Prof. Byung-Chul Han: “Are we living in an achieving society?” (German: “Leben wir in einer Leistungsgesellschaft?”). I designed the poster for the lecture.

Oh!-Camp 2011 Design
The Oh!-Camp is an arts and design camp for pupils at the age of 16-19 at the HfG Karlsruhe. It was held for four days in 2010 and 2011. I designed the 2011 identity for the Oh!-Camp with the help of illustrator Yannick Nuss and I built the website.

Trophy Room 2.0
Trophy Room is an American and international video and blogging platform for hunting and fishing sports. Together with Special Machine I developed the website and designed the interface.
Grenzenlos
The work called “Grenzenlos” (“Borderless”) shows perspectives you probably wouldn’t capture yourself or which are really unorthodox to take photos from. Just the sky, a straight shot into the air and a tiny reference to reality and civilization. The photos display a romance in the image of pure infinity.
Bitte nicht nach Hause schicken.
This work was created during a seminar called “Sprachbehausung” (German for: “Speech’s home”) with text artist Bruno Nagel and by using a painting from Martin Kippenberger. Wearing the sign creates a whole new aura around you. You are someone else. (You should try it on your own. Make a sign, write a statement on it and sit down somewhere in public.)
