CLIENT Unversity of Hildesheim Creative Writing courseFORMAT Book 11 x 16,5 cm 160 pagesDATE 2013
The “Anthology of Freshmen” is a regular journal published as a part of the University of Hildersheim’s Creative Writing course by their in-house publishers Edition Paechterhaus. The topic of the 2012/2013 edition was „Was ist Wasser?“ (What is water?) based on the speech This is Water!, given by David Foster Wallace at Kenyon College in 2005. In the speech he reflects on attitudes towards life and dealing with daily routines. Students wrote texts reacting to his ideas in a format of their choosing. I was asked to design this edition of the journal. For the design I combined a stripe-pattern with the type area placed at various points on the layout.

KINO.120APOSTER + FLYER
CLIENT kino.120a Unversity of Art and Design HalleFORMAT Multi-formatDATE 2009-12
I worked for the university cinema from my 2nd until my 5th year of study. Posters and flyers for films were made as a part of the course program by various students. The project outline was deliberately vague so as to enable the participants a broad field of personal expression. Red, black and white were established as base colours and an elongated format was preferred. Productions using both analogue and digital methods were possible.The poster for the movie Antichrist by Lars von Trier was nominated as one of the „100 Besten Plakate ’10“ (100 best posters ’10)

BA.CORPORATE DESIGN
CLIENT Academy of Cultural Education Germany (ba.) and anschlaege.deFORMAT Multi-formatDATE 2013
For the grafical appearance of the „Bundesakademie für Kulturelle Bildung“ (Academy of Culural Education Germany) I designed by order of anschlaege.de a graphic concept.

The basic grafic element is a covered headline which becomes fully visible after the opening of the product. The main color is a dark blue, the additional color switches every year.
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GETWOODCUT PRINTSFLYER
CONTEXT Experimental Design course Unversity of Art and Design HalleFORMAT Woodcut Flyer 70 x 100 cm DIN A6 (folded) DIN A3 (open)DATE 2012
A fascination for useless objects was the inspiration for this work. Grown geomtics at a corner of a carpentry became the printing block for these prints. By printing these with relief printing, the previous context was observable, but free from its earlier func-tion. It became unimportant what was known about it, but more what was seen in it. “What you see is what you get!” was shown to a friend who in turn wrote a poem „Mit absoluten Kreisen kochen“ (“Cooking with absolute Circles”) which we then combined with the prints in a foldable flyer. Graphics and texts are inter woven The text is coloured and the graphics are in black, asking the ques-tion whether the text is illustrating the pictures or the reverse.
EXERCISE DE STYLEMINIBOOKLET
CONTEXT free typographic exerciseFORMAT DIN A5 (closed) DIN A6 (open) 2 hours per bookletDATE 2013-14
In the book “Exercise de Style” Raymond Queneau wrote an non-specific story in 98 different ways. Inspired by that I started a self-imposed exercise to train on various layout possibilities and diverse fonts within a limited timeframe. A chosen text from his book was placed on eight different layouts. The most important point was not to get bored but to surprise oneself again and again with new solutions to the same issues. In order to solve the exercise in a specific time (2 hours) the graphic elements were extremely limited. No colours, a minimal variation of pictures and only one font family per text!
GANZ–KAPUTT STOP-MOTION MUSICVIDEO
CLIENT Drauf&DranFORMAT 720 x 1080 pixel 3:23 minDATE 2012
Drauf&Dran are an elektro DJ-Team from Berlin. For the music video for their Song “Grid” I used the de-collage and stopmotion techniques. The graphics are an advancement of a previous work created as part of my bachelor project at the Kunsthochschule Halle whose topic was the correlation between “totality” and “broken”.
RECORDING WARSAWPAINTINGS
CONTEXT Painting Class University of Fine Arts Warsaw (ASP)FORMAT 70 x 100 cmDATE 2011
This was a trial to record the sound of Warsaw. The manhole cover is a circle, is a part of the street, is a point on a town map. The frottage was here used as a technique to fix a series of moments at variable points and places in Warsaw. To gain a pure impression of the street acoustics it was inperitive to paint directly on the street. The painter then became a documenter who bound movements, sounds and the atmosphere to paper.
