A minimalistic clock design, this project features black dots gracefully orbiting a center on a white background, drawing inspiration from the elegant movements of celestial bodies.

How to visulazie time

This project embodies a minimalist interpretation of a clock, where simplicity meets celestial inspiration. Black dots delicately encircle a central point on a clean white backdrop, mirroring the orbital dance of planets in our vast universe. The result is a visually striking and contemplative timepiece, challenging traditional clock aesthetics with a cosmic touch.

University of Applied Arts Festival 2012 Concept - Time Shapes the University, and the University Shapes Time.

Shaping Time

 Time Shapes the University of Applied Arts and the University of Applied Arts shapes time. Time, an unstoppable stream, molds the University of Applied Arts, this venerable institution, while simultaneously becoming a shaper of time itself. As students and members of this prestigious university, we have the unique opportunity to actively participate in the design and shaping of the time in which we live. Our ideas, our art, and our creations act like small waves influencing the course of time, leaving their marks in history.

Music video for Granada

In collaboration with Elias and under Sony Music's request, we embarked on the challenge of creating a hand-drawn music video within a tight 4-week timeframe. Thomas, the lead singer, had initiated the project by hand-drawing and animating the main characters using pen and paper. Building upon this foundation, we seamlessly transitioned to a digital approach, utilizing Procreate. Martin took charge of crafting the backgrounds, while I orchestrated the integration of all elements, resulting in a collaborative visual masterpiece. Thanks to the help of all to make this happen.

Gruber's minimalistic design approach showcases how simple it is to get a new bath. Blue line illustrations and a mesmerizing red dot create a duotone, clean aesthetic.

The Beauty of Simplicity

For Gruber's branding, I centered my focus on capturing the beauty of simplicity. I crafted the design with blue line illustrations and a mesmerizing red dot, creating a duotone, clean aesthetic. My minimalistic approach not only showcases the elegance of simplicity but also emphasizes how easy it is to transform and elevate the experience of getting a new bathroom. The combination of clean lines and subtle details, such as the captivating red dot, reflects my commitment to a sophisticated and straightforward design philosophy.

22 years label night

Thank you, Nadja Haderer and Hannes Tschürtz, for providing me the opportunity to shape the visual appearance of the INK Music Label Night—'Let That Ink In.' The bold color palette of blue, pink, and white, combined with a rounded font, creates a visually striking ambiance. Additionally, catch a glimpse of a potential new logo direction, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the event. ;)

Inspired by Tim Urban's blog post, I crafted a visualization of a lifetime where each block symbolizes a week. The red blocks signify the past, offering a poignant representation of the passage of time.

Visualization of lifetime

Drawing inspiration from Tim Urban's thought-provoking blog post, this project is a visual journey through a lifetime. Each block in the visualization represents a week, with red blocks signifying the elapsed time. This unique representation serves as a powerful reflection on the passage of time, inviting viewers to contemplate the structure and impact of their own lifetimes in a visually compelling manner.

Simplifying Gender in Typography

Mind The Gap is a typographic solution aimed at unifying and simplifying the various methods of gendering in the German language. For instance, the word "Student" in German is never gender-neutral; it differentiates between the masculine form "der Student" and the feminine form "die Studentin." This has led to gender-neutral forms like "StudentIn," "Student*in," "Student_in," "Student:in," and "Student.in." However, many of these solutions disrupt the visual harmony of the text, often causing visual disruptions or gaps, as critics have pointed out. Additionally, the use of the Binnen-I has the drawback of excluding non-binary individuals.

SBHF 2022 harmonizes colors inspired by the lakeside with whimsical duck illustrations, crafting a vibrant and experiential journey where design meets nature in a lakeside music festival.

Seebahnhof Festival

SBHF 2022 is a symphony of colors and illustrations that transcend mere aesthetics. The choice of blue and yellow isn't arbitrary; it's an ode to the lakeside setting, where the hues echo the water and sunlight. The creamy white background serves as a canvas, capturing the festival's essence—pure, vibrant, and reflecting the play of light on the lake. The naive illustrations of ducks' feet and backs introduce a whimsical element, a nod to the playful atmosphere by the water's edge. Paired with the stringent typeface, SBHF 2022 is more than a music festival; it's a visual and experiential journey where design and nature harmonize.

Sharing Club - Adults (re)learn the art of sharing

Adults (re)learn the art of sharing

Sharing is learned, but unfortunately, it often seems like we are learning to UNshare. The Sharing Club invites adults to rediscover the lost art of sharing and experience communal resource utilization through a shareable book and an analog toolkit.

Fantastic Film Festival

For the ambitious redesign of SLASH, spanning from the logo to typography and colors, we embarked on a comprehensive transformation that unfolded over a dedicated 6-year plan. Since 2019, our journey involved crafting animated trailers, merchandise, a substantial 120-page catalog, and more. The evolution from /slash to SLASH introduced a vibrant two-tone design, seamlessly blending geometric elements and amorphous shapes with intricate illustrations, paying homage to Fantastic Film classics. Imbued with nostalgia, the design reverently nods to the iconic aesthetics of the VHS era, reflecting in the typography and ensuring that SLASH stands as a testament to creativity and timeless cinematic influence.

Utilizing WebGL and p5.js, I created an interactive tool visualizing UFO sightings. By mapping the sightings on a sphere using latitude and longitude data, the tool provides a unique and insightful perspective.

Visualization of seen UFOs

In this project, I harnessed the power of WebGL and p5.js to develop an engaging interactive tool for visualizing a dataset of UFO sightings. The dataset, rich with latitude and longitude information, inspired the creative choice of mapping the sightings onto a sphere. This novel approach not only adds a captivating visual element but also enhances our understanding of the geographical distribution of UFO sightings. The resulting tool provides users with an immersive experience, allowing them to explore and analyze the dataset in a dynamic and interactive manner.

Exploring places and questioning objectivity, 'Wetter: wie Ort 1, nur mehr kalter Wind.' delves into the complexities of approaching locations.

Attempts at approximation

Exploring the essence of places, 'Wetter: wie Ort 1, nur mehr kalter Wind.' delves into the complexities of approaching and understanding locations. From random coordinates generated by chance to a collection of perspectives and analyses, this project questions how we can truly grasp the nature of a place. It invites reflection on the methods we employ to observe, analyze, and convey our observations, challenging the abstract nature of coordinates and encouraging a reconsideration of objectivity in representations.

Jazz meets repetitive club and experimental rock music

Album cover design for a band

For their debut album, I envisioned a visual representation that mirrors the eclectic fusion of jazz, repetitive club, and experimental rock that defines X!XU's unique sound. The cover features a white winking cat against a serene blue background, with playful red accents adding a touch of vibrancy. This whimsical design captures the essence of their music—expressive, dynamic, and full of delightful surprises.
