Schweiz­erische Post

Schweiz­erische Post – Mail­ing emo­tions At reg­u­lar inter­vals, the Swiss Post releas­es a new series of stamps for spe­cial occa­sions, cre­at­ed through a curat­ed com­pe­ti­tion. This series pro­vides fit­ting stamps, imbu­ing the enve­lope with emo­tion­al res­o­nance from the moment it’s sealed – and thus show­cas­ing how even the small­est stamp can achieve pro­found impact.

In an age of increas­ing dig­i­tal­iza­tion, arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence, and anonymi­ty, a let­ter sym­bol­izes the per­son­al and hand­made. Even if the con­tent isn’t hand­writ­ten or the stamp isn’t affixed by hand, every let­ter is still con­nect­ed to the actions of one or more indi­vid­u­als, their hands leav­ing their mark. Whether it’s the writer com­pos­ing the let­ter by hand or key­board, the postal work­er deliv­er­ing it, or the recip­i­ent open­ing and read­ing it.

With­in this stamp series, the hand emerges as the cen­tral fig­ure, offer­ing solace, encour­age­ment, or love – a win­ning motif from the com­pe­ti­tion, now proud­ly adorn­ing stamps and let­ters alike.

Ho ho ho

Ho ho ho – All I want for Christ­mas… is a Christ­mas card. Over the course of my stud­ies, a tra­di­tion took shape, where I craft an annu­al Christ­mas card for friends, fam­i­ly, and clients. Begin­ning with the art of screen print­ing, these cards have trans­formed into a delight­ful array of var­i­ous styles, imagery, and ever more refined and enhanced print­ing techniques.

Shown below are my per­son­al Christ­mas cards from the past years, start­ing in 2017. These are com­ple­ment­ed by the client-based Christ­mas cards and cook­ie tin design.

Rail­Away

Rail­Away – Nach­haltig in die Zukun­ft. The illus­tra­tion for the plant cube and pock­et game set, designed as a gift for Rail­Away’s clients and part­ners, cap­tures the essence of trav­el and explo­ration. Depict­ing two indi­vid­u­als mak­ing their way to the train sta­tion amidst a stun­ning Swiss scenery, encom­pass­ing majes­tic moun­tain ranges, serene lakes, lush forests, and pic­turesque mead­ows. It evokes a pro­found sense of adven­ture and wan­der­lust. This art­work serves as an invi­ta­tion for view­ers to embark on an enchant­i­ng adven­ture with the pub­lic trans­port and kin­dling a sense of excite­ment and exploration.

Whether adorn­ing the plant cube as a pro­tec­tive sleeve, adding a touch of charm as a stick­er, or etched with pre­ci­sion as a laser-engrav­ing, the art­work beau­ti­ful­ly com­ple­ments the gift, mak­ing it an aes­thet­i­cal­ly pleas­ing and mem­o­rable keepsake.

Die Halde

Die Halde – 1.147m Hochgenuss. Perched 1,147 meters above the mun­dane, the “Halde” offers a sanc­tu­ary that embraces atten­tive care, where the ulti­mate lux­u­ry is to feel both secure and lib­er­at­ed amidst the moun­tain’s embrace.

Steeped in his­to­ry, this hotel holds a cher­ished tra­di­tion, dat­ing back to its first men­tion in 1142, with a lega­cy of hos­pi­tal­i­ty stretch­ing as far back as 1337. As the 19th cen­tu­ry unfurled, the “Halden­stube” blos­somed into a beloved haven, beck­on­ing trav­el­ers from Freiburg to seek solace on their cher­ished moun­tain, “Schauins­land.”

The Halde’s cor­po­rate design is a cap­ti­vat­ing blend of clar­i­ty and sim­plic­i­ty, beau­ti­ful­ly con­trast­ing with high-qual­i­ty, col­ored papers from Gmund Col­ors and enhanced by delight­ful flo­ral illus­tra­tions. Immer­sive land­scape pho­tographs, set against gen­er­ous white space, har­mo­nious­ly inte­grate with grids, offer­ing ample room for both essen­tial infor­ma­tion and artis­tic design elements.

Archi­tec­ture meets Illustration

Archi­tec­ture meets Illus­tra­tion. Fed up with lock­down in Spring 2021 (and as a birth­day present) I start­ed this series due to my fas­ci­na­tion for Bru­tal­ist archi­tec­ture and my love for pas­tel col­ors. And it was pre­cise­ly their appar­ent polar­i­ty that made the whole thing even more inter­est­ing to create.

Archi­tec­ture meets Illus­tra­tion is an ongo­ing series, depict­ing aston­ish­ing exam­ples of archi­tec­ture around the globe – to show the beau­ty in sim­plic­i­ty, geom­e­try and endurance.

RAW

RAW – Frankfurt. Bru­tal­ism as a State­ment: Build­ings like RAW shine as “Like-Stars” on Insta­gram, Pin­ter­est & Co. In an era of trans­for­ma­tion, they sym­bol­ize longevi­ty and a style that defies the allur­ing main­stream: bold, geo­met­ric, and rad­i­cal­ly modern.

In this same spir­it, RAW’s cor­po­rate design emerges with clar­i­ty and dis­tinc­tion. The cus­tom font is craft­ed from geo­met­ric ele­ments that can be art­ful­ly com­bined, result­ing in the cre­ation of sin­gu­lar sym­bols. The illus­tra­tion world reflects the essence of straight lines and tex­tures rem­i­nis­cent of concrete.

EMsana

EMsana – Natür­lich pflegend. EMsana cos­met­ics and body care prod­ucts con­tain selected flower essences accord­ing to Dr. Bach, which syn­er­gis­ti­cal­ly inter­act with microor­gan­isms to reg­u­late and har­mo­nize your skin’s flora.

EMsana’s prod­uct range includes every­thing from sim­ple day creams to tooth­paste, pro­vid­ing your skin with what it needs for a radi­ant and healthy appearance.

The logo con­sists of an ele­gant serif word­mark and an abstract­ed and decon­struct­ed form of a wild rose. The wild rose motif is also reflect­ed in pat­terns and more illus­tra­tive rep­re­sen­ta­tions on the pack­ag­ing and pro­mo­tion­al mate­ri­als. The pas­tel col­or palette is derived from the hues of the wild rose flow­ers. Togeth­er, these ele­ments cre­ate a con­tem­po­rary and sophis­ti­cat­ed visu­al iden­ti­ty for the nat­ur­al cos­met­ics line.

Fritz München

Fritz – München. Bye Friedrich – Hi Fritz! Fritz is an office build­ing in Munich’s Schiller­straße, a cre­ative hub in an urban loca­tion where Schiller’s out­stand­ing qual­i­ties come to life: Fritz is a place of com­mu­ni­ca­tion – just as Schiller was an out­stand­ing com­mu­ni­ca­tor who nur­tured rela­tion­ships and dis­cussed numer­ous top­ics in over 2000 let­ters that he wrote.

Fritz is the place where cre­ation and log­ic blend into a vibrant alliance for modern ways of work­ing in an inspir­ing envi­ron­ment. This is the spir­it of “Sturm und Drang” reloaded: in the archi­tec­ture of the build­ing as well as in its interior.

The design illus­trates Schiller’s most beloved works, such as William Tell, Maria Stu­art, Intrigue and Love, The Maid of Orleans and The Rob­bers by depict­ing their main events and char­ac­ters as tat­tooesque line drawings.

The logo is based on a cus­tom font – a modern and bold ver­sion of a feath­er script.

Wei­dt Park Corner

Wei­dt Park Cor­ner – Europac­i­ty Berlin The WPC build­ing, designed by the renowned archi­tect Prof. Volk­er Staab, stands as the tallest and most strik­ing struc­ture on Otto Wei­dt Square — the cen­tral town square of the new Europac­i­ty, locat­ed next to Berlin’s main train station.

Five vivid and exten­sive illus­tra­tions depict its loca­tion, the green and fam­i­ly-friend­ly sur­round­ings, the office spaces, and its name­sake, Otto Wei­dt. These illus­tra­tions have been incor­po­rat­ed into mar­ket­ing mate­ri­als, the web­site, the city map, and large bill­boards at the con­struc­tion site.
