Span designed the visual brand identity for the Chicago Cannabis Council (CCC), the region’s budding cannabis network. Founded to help ensure the success of the cannabis industry the council is assembled of cannabis businesses and professionals from every sector — healthcare to recreational, legal to policy, education to finance.

The brief put to Span was to design an identity that embraced concepts of connection, collaboration, and community while visually positioning the council at the frontline of the cannabis industry.

The identity Span designed centers on a series of concentric ’C‘s that form the ’CCC’ monogram around the cannabis leaf — symbolizing the council. Drawn with clean, prec

Graphic research and exploration about gradient.

An ethereal illustration I created as a dedication to my favorite mirror by Ettore Sottsass. The mirror’s dream-like curves inspired my application of colors and gradients.

Letters become words and words become stories. The typographic children’s book ‘Hundert Hunde’ can be read aloud or by oneself, it can be turned over, refolded and also hung on the wall.

Patterns were originally made as a part of branding proposals for product design company but were rejected by the client. Abstract patterns should reflect on fluidness of the brand and give the more fun and unexpected twist. Patterns are made out of handmade collages, adjusted digitally.

Organic is brown, beige and not fun? Not at all!

These colors were carefully chosen to stand out amongst other organic colors.

This is a picture of our very last plastic bag on our island – Friendsy Island. We all know plastic is not good for the environment and its like a symbolic sign used in our FUN MART, you know? :^)

Color fonts are dressed up with colors. It is different from general fonts which do not contain colors. The feast of colors pops up immediately when you type letters. Hangul, Korean writing system, is a logical script. However, Sandoll Hoyoyo is different from its characteristics – its only one rule is irregularity. As its each letter has a variable width, even if you type the same letters, the widths of them will be different. Although it was not a simple work, the designer colored every single stroke of all the 3000 letters manually. It has up to five colors in one letter, making it look like a patchwork. With Hoyoyo, you can enjoy the endless dynamics of colors.

The work was created from an analog process and then vectored using Illustrator. Then the vectors were blurred with Photoshop and arranged in a row.

Quarantino’s Ristorante (Q’s) had to adapt to survive the pandemic. Cue savior platforms promising to connect folks to food. Q’s had to make space for a greeting table of take-out, grouping a sea of brands all distinctly friendly, yet futuristic. Some co-opted Japanese design language and mashed it with Latin script. Others kept it uncomplicated. Outliers were playful. Q’s saw their life depended on this network.

It was tough to keep up with the logistics of salvation, let alone the salivation of hungry consumers.

This pseu(dodo)-progress, where pressure to recover fast displaces slower healing, bothered Q’s. Where are those who want to support their community without being plugged in?

Life is like a chewing gum machine. Colorful and shrill, joyfully awaiting the coming surprise. A brief moment of pause. Put the coin in the slot and slowly turn the handle, the clack can be heard. Open the flap and there it is, the colorful surprise.

From order to invoice – what do I have to consider? The series of booklets ‘Begriffe des Handwerks in der ladinischen Sprache’ helps Ladin handicraft enterprises to communicate with clients and other companies. The booklets consist of two interlinked parts: a trilingual Glossary and a part with communication examples, such as invoices or cost estimates. Both parts each have a cover. The formal contents of the booklet are communicated using lively and colorful graphic language.

The gradients represent the flow and existence of things. Combined with the pixel aesthetic of the main type, the elements morph into a visual compound that is meant to emphasize the deeper meaning that the four artists expressed as essence of the exhibition.

The Poster was made for the Typojanchi in Korea. We decided to illustrate the lyrics of the song “Is good to be King” of Tom Petty. The place in my mind is also a place where you can find Pank if we are working.

I always thought that it would be nice if I have multiple eyes to see more and appreciate more things at once.

„…Antiakademisches Crossover, Cultural Appropriation, Polyrythmus, Improvisation, Pop, Trash, Disrespect. Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.

Artistic colors are as old as civilization. They are diverse in nature and origin, being traded across the globe. This project shows how pigments traveled over time. Selected for their relevance were EgyptianBlue, BrazilwoodRed, Gold, MalachiteGreen, ConchinealRed, MangoYellow, ChinaClay, LapisLazuli, IvoryBlack. Each is introduced with a bio, its history, attributes and example of use. Represented by colored circles, they trace a path in a map, individually for clarity and combined for density and to show where they met. Pigments that cohabit the same areas are represented by concentric rings. MoC tells a history of value, rarity and preference, illustrating cross border artistic evolution.

A big political poster about Europe’s refugee crisis in 2015. In the future Europe is connecting people. Europe is where people share moments and lives. Europe is finger licking good. Europe is stronger than dirt. And Europe – Das Auto.

By simply replacing the logo of wellknown brands and adding their tagline to the word ‘EUROPA’, the poster resembles the idea of advertisement to satirise the resistance refugees encountered in Europe back in 2015.

The two colours used on the poster, red and blue, where the two most used colours on the chosen brand logos.
