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.

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.

Q21

Q21 – Poster Com­pe­ti­tion. Q21 pro­vides work­space at the Muse­um­sQuarti­er Wien for around 50 ini­tia­tives, orga­ni­za­tions, agen­cies and edi­to­r­i­al offices work­ing in the cul­tur­al sec­tor and brings the cre­ative aspect into one of the world’s largest com­plex­es for art and culture.

Q21’s month­ly pro­gram poster/flyer is designed by selected artists, such as design­ers, illus­tra­tors and pho­tog­ra­phers focus­ing on the Q of the brand and its var­i­ous inter­pre­ta­tions accord­ing to a spe­cif­ic subject.

I saw the invi­ta­tion to this com­pe­ti­tion as an oppor­tu­ni­ty to explore my under­stand­ing of design and there­fore designed a vari­ety of posters in dif­fer­ent styles. The jury chose two of my designs for their month­ly program.

Welt­for­mat

Welt­for­mat – Tourism Exhi­bi­tion. The Gäs­ti­val, a fes­ti­val to mark the arrival of the first tourist to Switzer­land 200 years ago, showed off the best tourism posters that pro­mot­ed the land­marks and must-see places in the region. In co-oper­a­tion with Welt­for­mat and the Lucerne Uni­ver­si­ty of Applied Sci­ences and Arts, the Swiss Muse­um of Trans­port has brought togeth­er 36 posters – two of mine – which cre­ative­ly rep­re­sent the spir­it of the time, but still man­age to embrace tra­di­tion while reflect­ing on the famous Rigi, the land­mark moun­tain of cen­tral Switzerland.

Info­tage

Info­tage – Poster Design Com­pe­ti­tion. For cre­at­ing the Info­tage-Poster of our uni­ver­si­ty, I exper­i­ment­ed a lot with dif­fer­ent colours, mate­ri­als and com­bi­na­tions of ana­logue and dig­i­tal mat­ters. My pro­pos­al result­ed in a colour­ful and explo­sive dig­i­tal col­lage, which reflects the diver­si­ty and cre­ative pow­er of the Lucerne Uni­ver­si­ty of Applied Sci­ences and Arts.

I began by mak­ing col­lages with the head of Athena, the Greek god­dess of art and sci­ence. The idea was to com­bine dif­fer­ent tech­niques on the sub­ject of diver­si­ty. In its com­bi­na­tion of ana­logue and dig­i­tal crafts, as well as the shat­ter­ing head of the god­dess, the poster reflects on the over­com­ing of the old – but also on the evo­lu­tion of tradition.
