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.

Let­ter­ing

Let­ter­ing – The Art of Fine Writ­ing Dur­ing the process of design­ing a logo, a mul­ti­tude of typo­graph­ic exper­i­ments come to life, serv­ing as the build­ing blocks for new type­faces. Cou­pled with typo­graph­ic online chal­lenges like “36 Days of Type” (along­side the onset of the pan­dem­ic), a deep fas­ci­na­tion and an insa­tiable desire for all things typo­graph­ic were ignited.

Com­menc­ing with indi­vid­ual let­ters and stretch­ing all the way to com­plete sen­tences, a whole new realm of pos­si­bil­i­ties for express­ing my designs unfold­ed. Rang­ing from flat to three-dimen­sion­al, from lin­ear to ornate, and from min­i­mal­is­tic to high­ly embell­ished script – words and num­bers are ele­vat­ed to unique works of art through the addi­tion of adorn­ments, depth, and illus­tra­tive elements.

Mar­co Odermatt

Mar­co Oder­matt – The Over­achiev­er On April 10, 2022, the munic­i­pal­i­ty of Buochs and the can­ton of Nid­walden hon­ored ski star Mar­co Oder­matt and four oth­er Olympians. The pro­ces­sion on Sun­day through the vil­lage with around 500 par­tic­i­pants and the recep­tion of Mar­co Oder­matt in Seefeld Buochs exceed­ed all expec­ta­tions. It was an elec­tri­fy­ing event with an incred­i­ble atmos­phere that defied all dimensions.

For the occa­sion, the SC Buochs had a ban­ner made with gold­en let­ter­ing, cel­e­brat­ing the prodi­gious alpine ski­er for his unpar­al­leled tri­umphs at the Olympic Games, in giant slalom, and in the World Cup.
