Sleep is not an idle state. It rather is a different way of activity. “Symposion der Nacht” (symposium of the night) delivers an insight into the phenomena “sleep” and “dream” and shows the change that we go through each night. Our sleep switches between deep sleep phases and REM-phases (REM: Rapid Eye Movements). In the animation they are visualised in two layers, that compete for the attention of the observer. Deep sleep is poor in dreams but also mostly responsible for the saving of intellectual memory content. I descided therefore that the first layer is best represented as a computer animated infographic. REM-phases are rich in dreams and more responsible for the saving of emotional memories and motor skills. Hence, the second layer shows bizarre colourful growing shapes that imitate the random development of dreams. They are time-lapse records of a chemical process. At the beginning of the animation the focus is on the informative layer, while at the end the emotional layer is dominating, as in the course of the night the REMphases expand and the dreams get longer and more fantastic. Sometimes dreams can reactivate old pictures from our memory. This is shown in an additional third layer as a constantly changing photo-collage that gets clearer within the “dreamshapes”. The overlay of all layers creates an interaction of objective and intuitive content in analogy to dreams in which the most different aspects are combined irrespective of their significance.

As a side product of my diploma, which deals with the topic “sleep and dream” (see p. 2 – 7), I created two additional infographics. The first one shows the development of organic and physical activities that occur during the night. Represented are the different stages of sleep, the change of body temperature, the frequency change of heartbeat and breathing, brain and muscle activities and the appearance of hormones. The second graphic is a visualisation of the distribution of feelings and sensations that we experience while dreaming. It is based on the results of a survey I made to analyse the very special character of dreams. Represented are, how much space feelings, activities, thoughts and sensations take in our dreams and what kind of properties (e.g. chromaticity, brightness, temperature, level of reality, volatility) an average dream has got. In different layers one can see the average dream of all participants, or just women’s, men’s or children’s dreams.

“Schokkigrafie” (loose translation: “chocography”) deals with the pleasure of chocolate and calls the reader to pay more attention to this precious product while consuming it. It delivers a small collection of worth knowing information about the cocoa fruit from the plantage to the chocolate bar, which are supported by several infographics. The core piece of the work though is the graphical visualisation of the intensity of flavours that occurred during a tasting of 30 pure chocolates from different growing areas and producers. Starting from the scent, across the first partial melting on the tongue, the chewing and the aftertaste, I show what you can find in a single piece of chocolate. By sensing very carefully, one can detect hints of dandelion, apricot, cherry, jasmine, forest floor, iron or honey even in the purest chocolate.

semester project
a project in cooperation with Katrin Kempf
Illustrator, InDesign 891 × 420 mm
The organised crime in Italy is one of the most powerful industrial sectors in the European economy. Without a doubt the Neapolitan “Camorra” is additionally one of the most dangerous criminal organisations in the world. Our graphic shows the complexity of the criminal network that is stretched out between the different Camorra clans. It is one possible interpretation of the data about alliances and hostility that is given by the Italian journalist Roberto Saviano in his book “Gomorrha – a personal journey into the violent international empire of Naples’ organized crime system”.

This is the accompanying documentation to my second diploma exam in the field of typography with the topic “bookbinding”. It gives an overview of several possible ways to bind a book and consists of three parts: The first part summarises the development of the craft of bookbinding under the influence of the technical capabilities and the styles in different artistic epochs. It is divided in pure text and picture pages. The second part shows the process of a classical bookbinding style and is illustrated by the technical sketches I made during my training at Brignell Bookbinders in Cambridge, UK. The third part is the one where I got realy creative. I present 10 alternative binding styles, which differ in structure and manufacturing process from the classical form. I made 10 books in format 11 × 14 cm which consist of all kinds of recycling material, such as shopping bags, packaging, newspapers, maps, maculation and other leftovers. For the final product I used three different recycling papers: a light grey wrapping paper for those pages that only contain text; a rough sketch paper for the technical descriptions and diagrams; and a fine coated paper for the photos. This way I could not only highlight the structure of the book but also keep the production costs low.

semester project

various drawing materials, InDesign soft-cover book, 210 × 279 mm
In the framework of a drawing class we had the opportunity to spend a week in the charming historic centre of the Italian mountain village Civitella d’Agliano which is conquered by many artists and cats. 258 drawings resulted from that time, which we summarised in a catalogue with one chapter for each of the six students. Being the only graphic designer in a group of industrial designers, I created the layout for the composition of pictures and texts. As the theme of my own work I chose the term “microcosm” and gave attention to the structure, colour scheme and texture of the plants and animals that I could find climbing and crawling in between the old stone walls.

Dosenpoesie poetry out of the box illustration

running project
free project water colour, ink
“Dosenpoesie” (loose translation: “poetry out of the box”) is an illustration challenge I give to myself every now and then. There is a little antique brass box on my desk. Therein are numerous colourful paper strips with various words on them. Sometimes it’s just one part of a word or even a single character. By drawing a hand full of words from the box I create mostly fanciful sentences that serve as guidelines for preferably spontaneous illustrations. I tried to translate them without losing their special charm. But as it is a play on words, it worked with some better than with others.
Loose translation: “Purple tiger dreams of colour-fish jam. That’s silly, isn’t it?”
Loose translation: “Marionette-ness harmonises unconventionally well with night-piano-forest.”

Loose translation: “Little muzzle-beetle fly in the juice! The armchair-roots are blooming!”
Loose translation: “Seven blue monkeys are talking adequately about wood-clocks in the antique shop.”

Loose translation: “It seems to me, an extra mug of yell-joy greatly enriches the rabbit’s lung-vitality.”
Loose translation: “In the summer King Pink Woodpecker learns to reforest the toothpick woods.”
Loose translation: “The Wonder Panda of the Wolf Cliff rolls suggar-red, yonder, high above the Anger Sea.”

For this project I created illustrations for a German children’s story for a readership of 4 – 6 years. The story deals with the trouble of a little dragon who can’t breathe fire. It’s a series of 15 inside illustrations and a cover which add up in the children’s book “Feuerspuck und Feuerschluck” that was published by findig Verlag (Neuberg, Germany) in spring 2013. For the development of the figures and environment there were no guidelines besides the text. The basis for the pictures is a light grounding of water colours. For the details I used multiple layers of coloured pencils and water colours. It was a project which I enjoyed as much as I learned from it.

UNESCO São Paulo City Green Belt Biospherereserve corporate identity

autum 2009 | summer 2010 a project in cooperation with Katrin Kempf, Nora Schneider, Maria Müller, Charlotte Weißenborn, Rade Matic, Nils Rose, Bennet Jensch
cooperation project of the University of Applied Sciences Darmstadt (Germany) and the São Paulo City Green Belt Biosphere Reserve (Brazil) Illustrator, Indesign, Flash
The São Paulo City Green Belt Biosphere Reserve (GBBR) covers an area of about 17,000 km² and includes huge parts of the Brazilian rain forest. Related to its great biodiversity, it is one of the most important Biosphere Reserves worldwide. The UNESCO program which supports the Biosphere Reserve, called “Man and the Biosphere”, is based on the idea of connecting the needs of nature with the use by humans in a sustainable way. Our task was to develop a flexible corporate identity for the GBBR, supported by the State Forestry Office of São Paulo. The GBBR includes various organisations such as eco-job training centres, botanic nurseries, parks, herbaria, eco-tourist information centres, museums and food banks but also nature reserves. To unite the various institutions and companies within the GBBR visually, we created a modular design of main logo, sub-logos, a pictogram system and basic rules for the use of typography and colour. The cooperation started in autumn 2009 and was planned as a long-term project from the beginning. I participated in it for the very first year, which included the basic design and several presentations and meetings with the responsible persons in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The implementation of our design started in 2012. In the same year, it was nominated for the “German Design Award”.
