For the 2011/12 edition of the Burn The City Design I created this minimalistic, but yet detailed artwork. Even the typography was 100% created by hand.

This flyer was part of my work for Designsquad. The client was "Duisburger Filmwoche" who organise events to bring documentary films to different cinemas or create educational movie happenings for children.
This one was made to invite teachers to workshops which should instruct them how to explain movies to the kids in their classes.

On of of those rare sunny saturdays of this year I had the pleasure to film my ingenious friend Cuke from Berlin and the great Adnate from Australia painting a giant balloon for the Kulturfest Wedding at Panke in Berlin.

When you travel through the Ruhrarea you can see rusty industrial relicts from the industrialization everywhere. These lost places are full of gigantic buildings being reconquered by nature.
So i tried to capture this dark and rotten but also kind of romantic atmosphere in my photos.

Since everyone is on facebook today and you can read everything about all of your "friends", people loose the view for their own personal goals. Instead they pursue objectives that are "hipster" or "cool" when the internet tells so.

I did the webdesign and concept for this lovely vineyard. In addition I did most of the photographies of the wine bottles and coded the whole website in Wordpress. The shopping-cart system was adjusted in php as well, so that the customer can add products to a shopping cart and order them via an email form.

The motto of this wedding was Cuba, so i created some floral elements and surrounded them by some tropical components. We chose a special paper to give the paper a very soft and romantic feel.

This short series of flyers was made for a nice party playing retro pop music. So I lieterally put the groove in the heart.
