The editorial design of the graduate catalog of the ÉSAL (art school in Metz, France) is based on two key notions: openness and light. The fluorescent gradients that spread from the heart of the catalogs literally highlight the graduates’ works. The composition plays with the white of the page: texts presenting the approach of the young artists are placed opposite to the respective photographs. The school logo (based on similar issues) appears on the cover of the catalog. The sheet separates the reading of the term “École Supérieure d’Art de Lorraine” in order to bring up the word “art”. We choose one Pantone neon color per year: 805U for 2017, 804U for 2018 and 803U for 2019.

Colour and composition of 5 letters from a typeface that I am developing. The typeface is based on a set of 4 differently sized circles and lines that orbit around these circles to create individual letters.

However, in these renders, the structure is abandoned as the components of the letter seem to float away, as through a lack of gravity.

The editorial concept of 2020 graduate catalog of the ÉSAL (art school in Metz, France) was completely renewed: this new version present not only the works of the graduates but also the graduates themself in a selection of documentary photos taken during the installation of their diplomas. The sewn binding with visible spine allows the book to open flat and makes it easier to handle. The green Pantone color develops on all pages and helps separate the different parts of the content.

Plastic is a variable monospace font, formed by four master styles — Chain Black/Thin and Simple Black/Thin. Thanks to two interpolar axes it is possible to generate thickness instances and also sets the openness of the characters. It is inspired by a plastic toy called C’s, a Czechoslovak socialist phenomenon of the ’80s. Chain styles keep the chaining principle, which was the ground principle when designing the font. Simple style is more conventional. The font is complemented by a stylistic set of width alternatives of capitals and numbers created in double width of the glyph. Promotional postcards were printed on risograph. Text and visuals were inspired by C’s phenomenon.

A lot of young girls and grown up women are still struggling with Period Poverty or intolerance. Why is it still a topic that we have to hide?
It should not be a luxury to afford hygienic products, or shameful to be bleeding.

As I was a child, I hardly knew any people of other color in the little village I grew up. For my daughter it’s so everyday, that she meets people with all kind of skin tones. When she is drawing, she does need more than only one “skin tone” crayon.

Because seven was too many. A piece created on a playful Monday morning.

Fair and bright shines the man in the moon tonight, for that the children could watch his spectacular shadow play: the fox and the rabbit, one the hunter, the other the prey.

When I was a child I often looked at the sky or the sun through glass marbles. I was fascinated by the many colors that you could see because the glass broke the light, like a prism. This poster visualizes that experience.

did you know that green is a fresh color ?
Green is my therapy.

Cult Beauty commissioned me to design patterns for their birthday campaign. Geometry and rising suns and pop colors was the direction taken. Let’s celebrate!

The colorful world of the “o”.

For the poster design for the Telluride Film Festival I wanted to draw on classic movie theater marquees and film equipment to create a maximal image that speaks to the vibrance of the festival, while also using colors that help convey the celebratory nature of the event.

I wanted to capture the exuberant psychedelic feeling of Animal Collective’s music in a visual form. The final poster was printed as a 4 color screen print on orange paper.

Centro de Capacitación de Fundación Itaú (CCFI) provides courses in the fields of cultural management, production and journalism from its campus in Montevideo. CCFI believes in the dissemination of art as a powerful tool for social transformation.

The visual language of the campaign is based around a collection of shapes and colours inspired by Uruguay’s constructivist movement. Each colour represents a different course when used individually and the programme as a whole when applied together.

Recorded in his native Buenos Aires, “Remembrance and Farewell” marks the debut single of drummer and composer Alejandro Dixon as leader of his jazz quintet.

The cover artwork aims to capture the emotions of a purposefully personal recording inspired by the intangible passage of time and a deep yearning for the past.

For the fictive publisher „Pukeko Edition“ I created a corporate design. The name is taken from the Pukeko bird and so the design is based on two stylised Ks, which reminds on the form of its feet. The colours reflects the asthonishing featerhs of the bird. Printed on letterhead and business cards, the logo creates the new visual identity of the publishing house.

In these dark times of forced isolation and heavy limitations, a gloomy fear seems to accompany our lives. We with our bodies are physically unable to travel and meet our loved ones. But our thoughts are not. They are free to wander, explore, live new adventures. I imagined this as a metaphor, some weird hyper-colored butterflies make their way through the fences to break out from captivity and finally fly light in the world while the flowers are anchored to the ground. This is us, looking at ourselves in this fascinating process. This is us, hoping for a new beginning. This is us, dreaming of the impossible and beyond as in a magic spell that makes us alive and immortal in front of death.
