Patterns 0758

Patterns were originally made as a part of branding proposals for product design company but were rejected by the client.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.

eventhood
These colors translate the vibrant event world into our brand eventhood.
The vibrant green is used for internal purposes of the platform itself, while the secondary colors are open for the service providers and locations. When joined by solid white & black, it creates a unique brand experience.

HOYOYO COLOR

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.

Quarantino’s

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?

the chewing gum machine

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.

Dal ordin ala fatura

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.

Ways Of Existence

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.

Jazz Festival Willisau (Part 1 und Part 2)

„…Antiakademisches Crossover, Cultural Appropriation, Polyrythmus, Improvisation, Pop, Trash, Disrespect. Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends. Allkes kocht, zischt, trinkt noch Glut und schlürft noch Licht. Another dimension, new galaxy, intergalactic, planetary…“ (By Markus Dressen für 100 beste Plakate)

Migration of Color

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.

EUROPA – Because You’re Worth It

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.

Bomba

Rooted in the Caribbean island’s connection to the African slave trade, bomba is a traditional style of music and a dance found in Puerto Rico. This series of posters pay homage to the rich artistic and cultural legacy of what some have called “the world’s oldest colony”. The words on all three posters: bomba, cuatro, and primo, are Spanish words with multiple definitions. The posters simultaneously acknowledge Puerto Rico’s Black history, celebrate its musical traditions, and recognize the island’s oppression by the U.S. as a missile testing range throughout the 20th century.

Porzellanpalast

Glossy white. Every surface has been polished and every individuality meticulously wiped away. It has to look clean. Cleanliness before well-being applies in the porcelain palace. Brightly lit on the presentation plate.
But if you immerse the forms in a new light, completely new worlds of images emerge.

Duty flag

The specific experimental project inspired & created by my personal collection of excise duties of cigarets, forms a different version of the Greek flag, using fundamental elements of the greek culture such as the mosaic. The special pattern formed by the duties was totally handmade as exactly the ancient mosaic used to be created through the centuries. The final artwork criticises the greek fiscal policy & the tension to be tighter & tighter every year, by converting the greek flag into a “duty flag”.
