collage

The political madness of the First World War produced DADA. While in 2021 we were still looking with trepidation at Donald Trump, it is now Vladimir Putin and the war in Ukraine that has us terrified. Alongside a seemingly never-ending pandemic and climate change, these topics collectively form a good creative canvas for collages. Well combined, often cheeky, and reduced, collage can punch bluntly and directly in the face.

One of the representative individuals speaking for the revolt of artists against society and its value system is probably Hannah Höch (1889–1978). Höch’s work was intended to dismantle the fable and dichotomy that existed in the concept of the “New Woman”: an energetic, professional, and androgynous woman, who is ready to take her place as man’s equal. Hannah Höch’s “Klebebilder” are some of the most iconic works of the collage style from that period. As a child, Höch was already making paper collages. She created photo montages, using the childlike technique of replacement — interchanging heads and bodies of characters, reshuffling images, exploring gender roles, androgyny, and politics, calling into question the very way society viewed itself. She already created a feminist discourse, which encouraged the emancipa tion of women during the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) and continues through to today.

As of the beginning of last century, “cut, paste and create” stays one of the purest form of expression for our epoch, with all its juxtapositions, eclecticism, and strange bedfellows. Presently, the simple act of mixing together different elements allows us to question our reality and make new.

handmade typography

Why would a designer ever use anything else to design than a computer? Well, there are things they can’t do. A brushstroke by hand is made in a second. The look of torn paper is created in seconds. The snot of ink runs uncontrolled. The smudged pencil is as unique as the fingerprint. The movement and the energy that one brings to guide the brush or the drawing tool creates a unique result that cannot be copied.

Though it is much more about controlled chance. Through random meetings, experimentation, improvisation, “mistakes,” or even unexpected results — happy accidents combine with sagacious insights to lead to novel outcomes, methodical innovation, changes in design direction, or a new areas of research.

One may ponder: Would all time great designers such as Paul Rand have used computers if they existed? Or would they still go on looking for happy accidents?

digital typography ↘

What is possible today was once unthinkable. US professors, at least the old ones, still used to design with Letraset, and spent hours of painstak ing work assembling typefaces onto repro-ready originals with cutter and glue. The snow of yesterday (at the same time as the glaciers) melted so quickly that we no longer remember it. Personal computers were the first miraculous wave. Soon after, the wonders that have become normality for most, are all the applications that now make it possible to create on smartphones. Complex virtual aesthetics are now possible and invite creatives to experiment and present the wonders found within the chambers of discovery.

When people are given the freedom to do anything, this poses a certain problem. Because everything is often too much. And a lot is not every thing. Especially when playing with form and content, the art is not to pull out all the stops, but to operate the keyboard carefully.

What is your poster design process, which element you like to start with?

Alina Rybacka → It’s hard to point one thing that inspires me. I guess I try to closely observe what is hap pening around me. During the project, I pay attention to the context, environment, and history. Exploring knowledge of typography and typeface design is very helpful. I’m not sure if I have idols or heroes. For sure I follow on Instagram a few great designers like Studio Dumbar because of their animations. Mostly I follow Polish folks like Edgar Bąk, Studio Otwarte, Wędzicka, and many more.

Hey Porter → Movies and songs mostly, Paula Scher, Quentin Tarantino, and Umm Kulthum.

Florian Lamm → It always depends — like all our work — on the task, the client and the artistic freedom. If part of a bigger corporate design then it’s the prod uct of an allover visual concept. If it’s more free then it’s always related to some visual point of interest, and on some visual analog and digital experiments, we are currently engaged in. Sometimes it’s a big discussion with a lot of drafts, arguments, and fails. Sometimes there is only one draft and the idea is properly working. In the last decade we produced a rather big archive of analog and digital ideas for real or unreal tasks. In combination with our professional experience, we use this archive to react fast and specific to numerous kind of visual and conceptual problems.

Lars Harmsen → First think about it. Then design. Often tons of sketches before getting to a final result. Mark Bohle → One of my all time heroes is definitely Seymour Chwast. And I do not believe in the concept of inspiration, I would rather call it influence. There is no specific order. From fun to funerals, everything can be a great influence.

Markus Lange → I think every good poster has that certain magical moment, it’s hard to put into words and I don’t think there is a rule book to create a good poster.

I think you just have to start, try, keep trying, be in a good mood, or a really bad mood, and then in the best case something interesting will come out.

Markus Lange → I have to say that I like to work with collages and make quick sketches before I start on the computer. I like it when there is material on my table in the process and I can just try it out.

What are your preferred / commonly used tools in your design process?

Annik Troxler → Analog techniques, scans, and InDesign.

Florian Lamm → Adobe CS, Touchdesigner, Python Hey Porter → Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Pixologic Zbrush, and Glyphs app.

Lars Harmsen → Many years ago freehand was my thing. Now InDesign just because I am too lazy to get used to other stuff.

Mark Bohle → I guess my primary tool is drawing. The design process usually starts by trying to approach a specific topic by thinking and drawing. This permits a broader image of a topic and captures thoughts in a precise container.

What makes a good poster?

Florian Lamm → A poster brings all required informa tion and your visual ideas as a condensate together in one piece. You purely cannot hide any content — i. e. on a backside. The large and fixed formats are a big benefit as well: You can play with them, react to the size and work with precision.

It’s always a good starting point for visual explora tions. A good poster can be fast, rough, sophisticated, minimal, or overtopping. But always includes a con vincing idea in combination with an astonishing visual expression in form and in print.

Hey Porter → Good concept.

Mark Bohle → As mentioned before, the mandatory element is a surprising one.

Lars Harmsen → Intelligence.

Markus Lange → I think every good poster has that certain magical moment, it’s hard to put into words and I don’t think there is a rule book to create a good poster. I think you just have to get started, try it out, really feel like it and then in the best case it will be good ;-)

What do you think about collaboration between designers?

Annik Troxler → very inspiring.

Florian Lamm → We are a studio with two main part ners, both graphic designers. In a lot of projects, we collaborate with other small studios to enhance our skills. We appreciate collaborations in teams, especially with diversity in the individual positions, where everybody can bring their own skills and profession, where competition is still a game and not a fight.

Hey Porter → 15 minute power naps, and this song: Julian Casablancas +The Voidz — Dare I Care (https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhVefqaUhTg)

Lars Harmsen → Always good to have a sparring part ner, stronger than you are.

Mark Bohle → This depends on the collaboration I guess. In general I prefer working together than work ing against each other.

Markus Lange → I love that and I think it’s really the best thing to work with others and just have a good time. I also like to think and try things out for myself but sessions with others together are absolutely necessary and a big part of me and my work. I wouldn’t go skateboarding alone either.

Encounters are often based on coincidences or fortunate circumstances. In this case, the exchange has a lot to do with the long friendship between Lars Harmsen and Markus Lange. Both have been running the collective Poster Rex since 2015. Both teach Communication Design at different universities. Lars in Dortmund and Markus in Cairo. Naturally, both shared the idea to bring each other’s students together and design posters.

In a first round, black and white basic motifs were created, consist ing of typography / text, or image / illustration / photo, or background. Just like in screen printing, the various layers were to be brought together in such a way that they all use the previously created pool.

Symbolically, this is already the first step of sharing cultural identity: that everyone has formulated his idea and vision in advance, but then mixes it with the thoughts and images of others, combines — to then also see from others how their own work moves and acquires new meanings. In terms of content, we covered three themes: Fashion & Subculture, Food, and City.

With all these topics we learned a lot from each other. Not only then, but also in the aftermath. The creation of this publication gave rise to a very close relationship between some of us. We worked together for days and nights, appreciating each other over the countless online sessions and conversations. We became friends in the process.

↙my fashion & subculture

Tell me what you wear and I’ll tell you who you are. Show me your tattoo and I’ll tell you how old you are. Open your wallet, and I’ll tell you which neighborhood you live in. Share your playlist, and I’ll know your friends. Take off your sunglasses, and I’ll see your soul. And yet everything is only a part of what everything is. A great whole, in which I am just as lost as you are.

my city

The city is full of monkeys, it is noisy and smelly. The granny is lonely, the man in the cab is asleep. The guy is hanging on the counter, the mother on the balcony. The boy hits the asphalt, the dealer picks him up. The traffic jam is endless, the air so gray. Good morning Cairo, I come from Dortmund. Habibi, sing me a song about your city, where I can’t be and come to visit.

my food ↙

Let’s imagine that we all go to one place and sit down together as a big group around a table. Everyone brings something to eat and we taste the delicacies of our friends. What would you bring? What story, what memory can you tell about it?

Eating is much more than just satisfying hunger. Eating is transcen dental: the way food is prepared, where it comes from, what rituals and traditions are associated with it carries meaning.
