[shisei] ‌ street; place, where humans meet; world of ordinary people; Shisei is the space where hi-pe.at is active since 1999. Information Design as ongoing development of tools and implementation of concepts to make unknown situations familiar: physical, social and contentwise. Being informed and equipped with a sense of orientation and sovereignty, people shall feel comfortable and well empowered to attain their goals. This brochure is an invitation to join some of the projects we are involved in 2019 and beyond.
Shift of Paradigms
‌
The story of hi-pe.at starts in the mid-nineties. In the imaging industries, the existing analogue black-and-white copiers have been replaced by digital colour network printers. hi-pe.at accompanied the European branches of Japanese suppliers in marketing and sales to master this shift of paradigms. The challenge was to make successful sales representatives familiar and confident with new technologies, vocabulary and markets. Mainly people in sales reflect on quick, short, intense and visual appealing messages. That way hi-pe.at applies information design.

Every summer semester we have the pleasure to hold courses in media psychology at the Sigmund Freud Private University Vienna and Linz. In four classes,100 students discover and explore the interaction between design and psychology. Partners are the city of Vienna, the Tourism Association in Linz and many others.

White WINE
…
„auflanger“ is our Austrian wine brand offering a typical very local sort called „frühroter veltliner“. Only 900 bottles a year are available. The wine itself is meant for daily enjoyment in a democratic every-days environment. It is a family-project, grapes from the own wine-garden, carefully harvested, pressed and bottled. auflanger.at – 22 –
No LABEL
‌
the objectives are to reduce the variety of materials and avoid chemicals. As no glue for the label is needed, the glass bottle for re-use as a wine-bottle could be cleaned locally with less water and fewer transports.
