IllUSTRATION | The Police Every breath you take • On the first sight this song is a roman
c love song, but on the second sight it only seems like it. When you listen to it exact-‐ ly, you’ll find out that it tells the story of a love that becomes a nightmare. „Every breath you take, every move you make, I’ll be watching you“ is not a declara -‐ on of love. It’s a promise to follow you, to watch and control you every day for the rest of your life. Nobody wants to live like this. This illustra on shows what happens to a heart when it gets broken.

URBAN TYPOGRAPHY | Rolling Stones Rain fall down • Take a cool and sexy Rolling Stones song
and interpret the lyrics typographically in a new way. That’s how this project was produced. Buzzwords of the song like trash, sky, drink and ringing are the basis for the transforma on. They are formed in a new way, with new design, size and material. The loca ons are in-‐ door and outdoor, just like in the original video. The results are many many funny, trashy and sexy photos and a stop-‐mo -‐ on video made in Final cut and iMovie. Watch it on: vimeo.com/23705568

GUIDANCE SYSTEM | Franken Gymnasium • Guidance systems conduce to the areal
naviga on of people, not to the design. The target is to make the system simple, so it can be used without causing stress. People can find their des na ons be er, easier and faster. I went to this school for 10 years, that‘s why I can orientate myself in this building, even though the guidance system was catastrophic and outdated. I‘ve chosen it because I wanted that no one else gets lost there, too.

ADVERTISING DESIGN | Random disc • Make your own randomdisc! Take a wiki-‐
pedia.org ac cle by chance, a flickr.com picture by chance and an op onal input from quota onspage.com. Connect it all together and make a new proper form of it. That’s the job defini on of this project. The result is a CD with the song „Don’t screw around“ of the house and electro musician Walter Greatorex. Because of the conspicuous colors, the design,the mo ve and provoca ve statement, the cover achieves an ambi ous image and highlights the CD in the music market.

Für das Cover wurde ein Bildausschnitt vom Hauptausgangsbild gewählt. Dieser ist der Staubsauger, welcher ein guter Blickfang ist und zudem sehr witzig und auflockernd wirkt. In Kombination zum Staubsauger steht die provokante und auffällige Schrift des Songtitels, welche der Staubsauger einzusaugen scheint. Der benötigte Ruhepol dazu bildet die unauffällige, elegante Typo des Interpretennames. Diese steht, genau wie der Interpret der CD, eher im Hintergrund. Das Auge wird gezielt auf die Aussage des Songtitels gerichtet.
