la nueva disquera

“La nueva disquera” is a fake record label.
It’s just my chance to design (fake) album covers.

I start doing this illustrations back in 2019.
The project has been exposed at El Diluvio Universal (Barcelona), april 2021.

Beyond Labour

The COVID-19 pandemic has proven how much we depend on labour. People fear for their existence and are demanding the right to work much as in earlier times. But in fact, what they actually aspire to is the right to exist in dignity. Is a dignified existence without labour unimaginable? The image «Beyond Labour» is part of an image series of the fictive report SWISSTOPIA AUTOMATA. The report visualises and thereby introduces us to a society in which labour does not play such a central and in many ways problematic role. It is a glimpse into a colourful world in which a dignified and self-determined existence realises itself through leisure.

Minuit avant la Nuit

Poster for the third (and last) edition of Minuit avant la Nuit (“Midnight before the night”) pop-rock music festival in Amiens, produced by La Lune des Pirates. For each edition we wanted a special atmosphere, inspired by mysterious dreams, natural elements & music.

1,100m2 color-code Scirocco

1,100m2 color-code Scirocco is a work for a residential and commercial building in Vienna-Favoriten, Austria.
Two open light wells on both sides of the corridors, 14 meters high, are attracted with a color code of 16 different colors. Colors of this code can be found in the hallways to the apartments.

Udon Soup To Go

You can find beauty in color all the time. You just have to look closely and might need to change your point of view. In our dreary everyday life we often tend to lose joy in the little things. This picture was taken on an ordinary day in spring. Just me and some friends eating Udon Noodles and fooling around in my car. Capturing the small moments that count. Oh and look at those colors!

Playground Coffee

Playground is a coffee and roastery based in St. Pauli, Hamburg. With their handpicked, fairly-produced coffee — it’s a playground for every barista.This playfulness is reflected in the branding as well. The combination of a bold typography — a custom font with distinctive characters like the R and rolling O — and ludic illustrations are the integral parts of the design.
The white top and the typeface serving as recurring elements on the packaging, while the illustrative space functions as the graphical playground. Where whimsical, movie-inspired illustrations for King Kongo, Gujira or Skywalker enter the classic movie world, each sip opens a new universe for your senses. Sit down. Stop.

Four years of test prints

Artist Book.
25 x 35 cm
274 pages

This book contains screenprinting test-prints I did between 2014 and 2018 mostly at Barra de Ferro (escola EINA’s printing dept.) and many other nomad printing studios settled during those years: (Barcelona, Amposta and la Sénia)

For my final project, I developed a fictitious networking space concept for designers and people interested in design. This place intends to bring designers together, initiate discussions, and bring design closer to visitors. The corporate element I developed for this space is a large-scale “R12” (based on its address) which is just as diverse and flexible as the forum and its events. The poster “Movie Nights” is one of those events. Typeface: Apparat Trial by Michael Clasen

Untitled, Casual and Temporary 2

I recently made a limited collection of risograph printed posters. Then I began to prepare them for the presentation. To do this, I scanned 4 fragments of each poster (my scanner did not allow to scan it wholly) and combined them in a graphic editor to reproduce the natural colors and texture of the paper. To visually control the alignment of the four parts of the image, I randomly changed the curves in the each separate color channels to better see the boundaries of the composite elements of the overall scan. It was an intermediate stage of work process, but I liked this temporarly result so much that I saved it as a separate work.

In the heat of the day (Potsdam)

Algorithms are more and more structuring our world and they are at the forefront of shaping our current and future bodies. We are increasingly intertwined with algorithmic calculative devices as we consume information, inhabit space and relate to the world around us. Calculative devices transform the nature of human subjectivity, pushing at the limits of what can be read, analyzed and thought about, and with new forms of data aggregation come also more advanced forms of profiling human behaviour – like tracking our physical activities for everyone to see.

femmetype

The platform Femme Type was founded by Amber Weaver in 2019 to show the work of type designers and type-focused creatives who identify as women. (https://femme-type.com)
In this letterpress printed poster a font made by a woman (Matrix by Zuzana Licko) and one made by a man (Meta by Erik Spiekermann) are combined in form of transforming and mixing parts of the glyphs of each font. The composition of glyphs with and without serifs together with an undefined interspace shall show the question if there is really a difference between male and female designers and how it can be, that there are still projects like Femme Type are needed.

Plutchik’s Dyad of Emotion

Originally printed in Riso, this 4-color work is a part of my research on emotions and the means to visualize them. The Plutchik Emotion Wheel is a cool model proposing on how basic emotion can merge into more complex emotion. I find it helpful to understand my feelings as part of a spectrum that changes, rotates and goes inside out.
