First try of 3D Typography

I had the assignment to do a poster concept for an arts club. My concept was quite simple. A grid system behind allows to move around typography and do different arrangements, according to the title and the artists. As title concept i wanted to visualize the title as handmade typography in a metaphor. First word was “Verbindung” (connection, association, interlinkage). I built the typography with wooden type from a handcraft shop which i enveloped with threads, then i photographed it. I made the typography “flying” with some wires at the back.

Last week i went to Berlin for two days to join Darren Bowles (Design Director Moving Brands) on Stage at Typo Berlin 2009. We were having a presentation about living identities with a case study about the new brand of Swisscom. It was a great pleasure to speak in front of such a big international audience, and we got very positive feedback. I also met up Dalton Maag and some other great people i knew from Typo Zurich and other events in Switzerland.

Wedding Identity

For our wedding i tried to find a design that fits for both of us (of course), so, the typographic combined with a more romantic approach. Final solution is a pattern, made out of important things in our lives, combined with clarendon. We also defined a set of colors which we randomly used in the printings.

Sketches i did a time ago for another type form idea. working with grid system, and angle points, combined with organic bone like elements… don’t know if it could work…

Banca Rotta

A work about the actual financial crisis. I had the idea of viualizing the german word “bankrott” (bankrupt) by taking his derivation “banca rotta” which means broken, dead bank. Working with layers of transparent foil with printed stocks, shaping a skull when looking from further away.In close up view one just see blurred stocks fading in the darkness.
