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.

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!

Welcome to the world of colors.

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.

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)

A creative act of analog color performance fuses with the digital act and finally results in a graphic work. Without confining themselves Into-Outer-Space.

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.

This is a questioning checklist of the major activities happening in our lives while living in isolation. And the vortex this routine creates in the back of our mind.

Table for two is a sculpture made from the assemblage of two candleholders and two bowls. It’s a happy piece that represents most of the moments of 2020, a two person dinner.

Summertime.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Photo collage from the series “dropped and found in der Dortmunder Nordstadt”. Sometimes a crushed piece of paper can be a valuable discovery on a sunny evening stroll.

I divided a 180cm long sketchbook into sections and filled it with drawings with paint pens. I did this as an exercise in colour placement and balance. The drawings produced are all spontaneous and unrelated.

This image is an homage to the boundless imagination of a child — watching orange juicers at the grocery store was a favourite childhood activity, a form of entertainment. I called those mysterious machines rollercoasters for oranges. They were a magical combination of movement, shape, and colour.
Beyond the joyful presence of color as tied to a memory, this work was made with graphic design in mind: circles in the form of oranges; isometric view of the counter that makes two triangles; squares containing pictograms scattered about the image. The presence of geometry highlights the mechanical nature of the juicer and supermarket as a whole — counteracting the “organic” nature of oranges.

The Color Dot Font is a font composed entirely of colored circles. Each Latin character is replaced with a circle of a certain color. For example, an “a” character is represented by a green circle, an “r” character by an orange circle, and so forth. Described as “delightfully odd” by It’s Nice That, readers often find that replacing letterforms with dots heightens awareness of the patterns and structures of language. It’s interesting to see how much you can still understand. Available as an OTF file and a browser plug-in, the font can be installed and used on any computer operating system.
