Powdered Sugar Célom egy régi kedvenc, a porcukor általános csomagolásának újratervezése, a könnyebb és praktikusabb használhatóságot tartva szem előtt. Alapvetően kétféleképpen használjuk fel a porcukrot, a tésztához öntjük, vagy a már elkészült süteményre szórjuk, ennek a két funkciónak a kiemelése, és a műanyag-zacskós megoldás elhagyása volt a két fő kiindulópontom. Confectioners’ sugar can be found in every household, but the packaging is very neglected. The opening and hart to handle. My package allows the user to pour and to spray it easily. The handles and the illustrations make the use easy. school project | 2013

Írók Boltja Identity A logotípia alapjaiban a japán kandzsik történelmét eleveníti fel. A bolthoz kötődő motívumokat a tollat, kezet, fát és könyvet redukáltam egy-egy betű formájában, a terülőminta pedig a fügefa tudás-szimbolikájával egészíti ki az arculatot, melyet kiegészítve készül el csomagolópapír és a könyvcsomagolás. Az arculatot és a kirakatot a homlokzat köti össze így annak képét is úrjaterveztem. The logotype evokes the japanese kanji writing. The pen, hand, tree and book are the symbols of a bookstore, I reduced and transformed these object to letters Í, R, Ó and K. The pattern was inspired by fig tree what is the universal symbol of knowledge. Besides these I designed a package for books and renewed the shop frontage. degree project | 2014
LEGENDS
oF THE
ANCIENT NORTH
“After all, I believe that legends and myths are largely made of ‘truth’, and indeed present aspects of it that can only be received in this mode; and long ago certain truths and modes of this kind were discovered and must always reappear.”
J.R.R. Tolkien
SOME PENGUIN CLASSICS try, with adorable flat-footedness, to jump on the zeitgeist bandwagon in order to reach those ever-elusive unconverted readers. It’s an inherently silly thing for Penguin Classics to do, since theirs are the books that created the zeitgeist in the first place; in a perfect world, our reading culture would be attentively watching what Penguin Classics did, not the other way around. But even so, the folks in Penguin’s publicity department still try, every once in a while, to jazz up some of their offerings in order to make them seem more relevant to whatever happens to be trending on Twitter. And there’s something extra-endearing about how bad at it they tend to be! A perfect case-in-point is the fantastic little series of re-issues they’ve come out with recently called “Legends from the Ancient North.” The series features five volumes: The Elder Edda, The Saga of the Volsungs, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, The Wanderer: Elegies, Epics, Riddles, and Beowulf. Each volume’s cover

a heady pastiche created by ardent medievalist Tolkien. Thor: The Dark World features the Norse gods themselves, who also stride through most of these wonderful reprints flying, fighting, talking, and joking even more ebulliently than they do in Marvel’s latest blockbuster. It serves as further notice that Penguin Classics is first and foremost (one might almost say hopelessly) book-oriented, and that’s perfectly fitting: these five volumes are far more personal and entertaining than any pastiche could possibly hope to be. H a l f t h e v o lum e s are comparatively lesser-light works of old Anglo-Saxon and Norse lore, presented again at the prompting of an outlook so concisely expressed by penguin saga of the volsungsMichael Alexander in the Introduction to his 1966 translation of The Wanderer: The excuse, ultimately, for a book of this sort is a conviction on the part of the author that some early English poems deserve to be read by those who do not make their living out of the subject, that what is excellent should be made current. Not much Old English verse has survived, but among the debris there are some very fine things. «

R. R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit.” Which is an attention-grab not so much for Tolkien’s beloved children’s classic (which Penguin 22

Petra Bömer Your book covers are tremendous. What makes a great book cover for you? Thank you! It’s very challenging to achieve a great book cover, as it’s an interpretation of a project at the heart of the author as well as with the reader. As a slow reader book projects are time consuming and the subsequent process can be equally slow. I have to trust my instinct and stick with it to get a natural interpretation, something challenging to achieve, as the idea travels between all parties involved. I like a book jacket to be striking, simple and surprising- within a concise design. The artwork shouldn’t give away the plot but spell out the mood. The balance between type and artwork is also essential and the elements have to be in harmony or contrasting each other. It is a generalisation (so please forgive me), but it is known that illustrators are not particularly good at marketing themselves. Yet you use an elegant hand-drawn logo and your style is very unique to you. Do you think of yourself as a brand? I’ve been creating, making and promoting my own products since many years and have experienced that exciting visual presentations have been key to getting projects rolling and gaining interest. The learning curve has been (and is) steep as my interest lies within creating art and not with promotion and marketing. I put off practical tasks and indulge in drawing instead. Quiet often I wish I could become two people or find someone who’d free up creative time!
Floral shapes and other elements inspired by nature are common within your work. How much does nature inspire you? And what else has helped shape your style as an illustrator? I often use natural elements as inspiration for my work, as this offers a well-defined starting point. In contrast I love to draw from technical, mechanical or designed objects. Being brought up in the 70’s has had a defining influence on my work. I used to spend lots of time exploring ways of dying fabrics, printing, sewing and making textiles and garments with my mum and aunts. I’ve collected vintage books on photography, design and the arts and craft since I was a child and refer to them daily along with photocopies and other images I keep in my ‘library’. I’ve always enjoyed posting letters to friends and unknown people worldwide and would draw and decorate the envelopes for hours as a child, which helped me develop my drawing and painting techniques and learning to work with a format.

But had the Penguin PR people had the savvy of those party-people over at TMZ, they’d have scanned the list of upcoming movies and found a closer match to these great, wintry old classics: Marvel Studios’ Thor: The Dark World, which is actually in theaters now, and which is going to make a cool $1 billion at the box office.

Gliese 667Cc Milyen lehet egy tőlünk 22 fényévnyire lévő szuperföld flórája? A Gliese 667Cc olyan a Földhöz hasonló bár nála majdnem ötször nagyobb bolygó, ami három Napjától olyan távolságra kering, ami lehetővé teszi az élet kialakulását, így eddigi tudásunk szerint az egyik legélhetőbb helyként tartjuk számon, az általunk ismert univerzumban. The planet lies in what the scientists describe as a ‘habitable zone’, neither too near its sun to dry out or too far away which freezes it. What kind of plants live there?

Írók Boltja Window Display A kirakat egy klasszikus irodalmi mű évfordulójának alkalmából készült el. Témája a 117 éve megjelent horror, Bram Stoker Drakulája volt. A számomra leginkább megragadó részletet Drakula kastélyát készítettem. Az általam használt tériség a diorámákét eleveníti fel. The theme of the display will be an annual appearance of a classic book, this time is for Bram Stoker's Dracula, what was published 117 years ago.
