Cooks Creek is a historical spot in Winnipeg that I visited during the summer and I decided to use the photos I took for the poster. The design consists a lot of clipping mask, distortions/warping and marble-like patterns. I customized the type by using the bloating effect on Illustrator to produce flower-like shapes mostly on the rounded letters. The type is also warped using different warp effects on Illustrator but I made sure that there is still a balance between the letters. The photo is edited on photoshop to add textures, camera raw filters and hue changes.

Sonnets is my attempt at experimenting with symbols and typography, and how just the shape of letters can transform into beautiful patterns. The shapes are inspired by ornamental architecture, Arabic type flair as well as the beauty of repetition. I wanted to see if each letter could say something interesting, repeating into rhythmic visual sonnets.

Typeface – a face consisting of the Zapfino Font

„If you feel lonely, surround yourself with everyday noise.“ (Homeshopping commercial). In „Hausmusik“ everyday life sounds are rhythmically adjusted to a beat, the associated terms are animated to the beat… And yet everyday life seems not so boring anymore.

Ripple Air grew out of a concept of how font components or letters can interact with others by overlapping and causing a Moiré pattern effect by simply combining and moving the geometrical forms. This headline font is neither functional nor follows the usual graphic approach. Its development is not representing the traditional step-by-step procedure driven-way to develop a font. Its starting point is the trial and error method. Due to the complexity of the font, multiple attempts were made to reach an adequate result. The huge number of paths of the fonts were optimized to its best using a font editor to export the font and to solve all technical problems.

Inspired by “Before The Water Gets Too High” by Parquet Courts I created this calligraphic lettering piece. For this artwork I experimented with the boundaries between readability and a visually interesting design.

For the 175th anniversary of the Swiss Association of Engineers and Architects (SIA), a flyer was designed that refers to hatching that occurs in the construction plans. Concrete and brick.

»Hexapode« is a modular typeface. It was developed within the experimental typography course »New Alphabet« of the summer semester 2020 at the FH Aachen in the department of design. The course was led by Prof Dipl.-Des. Eva Kubinyi.
»Hexapode« was specially implemented on an abstract basis of the subject of »insects«.
It is an eye-catcher with its interplay of even curves, sharp edges and striking white spaces. Due to its good readability, it can be used for short flow texts, but especially for striking design.

The project involved the development of a Bauhaus-inspired modular typeface called “modular b”. It is based on the combination of the basic geometric shapes circle and square. This has resulted in a series of modules from which letters can be variably assembled. The Specimen website serves to present the concept, the modules and the design components that make up modular b. It also offers the possibility of trying out the typography online and downloading it free of charge. Functional application of the typeface was achieved through a modular cube system that provides an opportunity to place the typeface in space.

The increasing road expansion and car use cause numerous problems. Among these are the traffic jams caused by the high number of cars, the space taken up by cars in cities, and the insufficient parking spaces available for the vast mass of cars. Pedestrians also face numerous hazards within cities due to road traffic. Another problem generated by traffic is the constant environmental pollution caused by the exhaust gases produced. For these reasons, we would like to pay attention to the traffic turnaround with our poster series. Since the traffic turnaround provides various thematic references, we have set the focus on the strong increase in traffic and its consequences.

Blended Perspectives is an interactive poster based on my personal manifesto on design. The poster begins folded in the word “Blended” and as you peel back the layers, shifts into a completely new word, “Perspective.” As you are folding the pieces, the manifesto reads: Design is a multi-disciplinary and layered process, design should shift perspectives and heighten your curiosity, design will re-imagine barriers, limitations and mistakes, design should be an intersection of all of your practices. My intention is that while you are physically interacting with this piece, those concepts are something you can tangibly feel. Once the poster is fully open, an entirely new piece is revealed, displ

Cognitive distortions are exaggerated patterns of thoughts or beliefs that are not based on facts, distort person’s perception of reality, usually in a negative way. In short, they’re habitual errors in thinking. This term which belongs to cognitive behavioral therapy suggests that our thoughts, emotions and behavior are all connected, and what we think and do affects the way we feel. Cognitive Distortions Type is a display font with different variants in, inspired by thinking mistakes that are classified as cognitive distortions which we frequently encounter in daily life. Letters have the characteristic features of distorted thinking such as being rigid, sharp,dominant, sensitive etc.

This display focused typeface is designed to pridefully take up space with wide letterforms, generous tracking and lively, multifaceted swashes. It’s about reflecting diverse characters and identities as well as dismantling biases. It offers several types of swashes to express diverse attributes. Drawn from a classical idea of a serif typeface the swashes want to break with an orderly design concept and reveal a more diverse look but at the same time keep a certain coherence to the overall appearance. Extrovert, introvert and everything in between or beyond; every character has a right to exist and be given space as well as acceptance.

Experiment borrowing from calligraphy and typography practices, forcing individuality in each letterform while trying to create a sense of wholeness.

This experiment took place while traveling on an airplane. I tried to push my sense of aesthetics and limits of legibility while drawing these letterforms. Individually, each letter is barely recognizable, yet in context the phrase is easy to read.
