FAST IMAGERY

Description In our BA diploma project «Fast Imagery», we put today's image consumption at the centre. We address the unsustainable production and fleeting consumption of images, and what this constant stream of images does to us. This research produced several outcomes: a talk series, a pop-up stand, a folded flyer, and a publication. We discuss images but design purely in typography. Our project does not spark discourse only through these outputs: every piece of content in the publication was conceived, moderated, and edited by us through conversations, interviews, and collected texts by various people.

CONFESSION KARAOKE

Description Dominik Leitner and I designed the visual identity for Confession Karaoke—including the logo, poster, platform interface, window lettering, and drink coasters. Confession Karaoke is shown at this year's Vienna Design Week and invites visitors to share thoughts anonymously and help shape the space. Inner Space / The Interior is a course at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, led by Chieh-shu Tzou and Gregorio Lubroth. At the café If Dogs Run Free, students spend a year creating publicly accessible installations that experiment with urban informality.

ZWISCHEN DEMUT UND GRÖSSENWAHN

Description When speech turns into song, it says different things; and it says things differently—but how? From the stage into scholarship, from the street into the feuilleton, and from rhyme into reflection—hardly any other contemporary current of verbal art is judged as unevenly as the texts that spring from rap. In the reading series «ZWISCHEN DEMUT UND GRÖSSENWAHN», Okan Yilmaz explores, with different guests, the poetics of German rap as a literary, cultural, and political phenomenon.

MORPHE

Description In this project we developed the concept for a fragrance and gave it life through packaging and brand identity. The work took shape in summer 2024 in a workshop at a perfumery in Vienna. Starting from the sense of smell, we explored the possibilities, associations, and visual expressions of scent and imagination, and gradually wove these elements into a coherent visual identity. Morphe is a fragrance inspired by movement—one that captures the essence of transformation and continuous becoming. Drawing on the ancient idea that everything consists of form and matter, Morphe embodies a state of transition: fluid, evolving, and always in motion.

ANGEWANDTE FESTIVAL 2024

Description The design for Angewandte Festival 2024 reflects a broad spectrum of individual perception and creativity. It foregrounds the different viewpoints through which artists grasp and interpret their reality. The eyes shown act as metaphors for inner and outer worlds that open the gaze toward the unknown and the new. By emphasising diverse perspectives, the design aims to spark a dialogue that connects inner reflection with outer perception, and to encourage looking beyond familiar boundaries and exploring new horizons. That same dynamic approach runs through the festival guide and the timetable flyer. The layout is lively and draws viewers in, leading them through monumental typographic spreads. Each spread is unique, without repetition—like the works the guide represents. The images claim their place in the layout on their own terms.

L'ATLAS DES RÉGION NATURELLES

Description This newspaper booklet was produced in a one-week workshop with Teo Schifferli. It draws on the digital archive „Atlas of Natural Regions“ by Eric Tabuchi and Nelly Monnier. From the 12,000 photographs in the archive, we selected every image with typographic content and sorted them into new categories. To analyse the different typefaces, we grouped the images into serif and sans-serif typography. To bring the lettering into focus, we isolated it from its background. The editorial is built from several archive lists: one lists the typographic images with regions and place names, the next holds the image index, and the last contains the text index. The lists are separated by full-bleed single images.

JOKER DELIVERY SERVICE

Description «I'm the life of the party, brimming with fun and cheer, I'm the one to keep near. What am I?» Joker is a fictional delivery service that brings games straight to your door. Under the motto «order, play, return», the brand rests on social connection, playfulness, and collaboration. All communication works through riddles that draw users into the experience from the start. The mobile interface responds to physical movement: rotating the phone reveals different functions, from browsing the deck to checkout. Visual elements across the identity subtly nod to familiar traits of games we already know.

HRB SYSTEME

Description We devoted ourselves to the teaching materials of Hans Rudolf Bosshard—painter, typographer, graphic designer, woodcut artist, book designer, author, and teacher. Our vision for this book design was to reproduce the documents and binders he had made on design principles, colour theory, and formal studies. We scanned every existing binder and redrew the graphics that were still hand-drawn using a computer program. Images and text were also taken from the original sheets. The first draft of the book «Systeme — HRBs» shown here was produced in a four-week module. It conveys the idea of a modern textbook. The material we gathered has not been published to date.

METRO TYPEFACE

Description In 1931 Harry Beck designed the London Underground diagram, using electrical circuit diagrams as a model for its layout. Within a grid that allows only three angles, the lowercase o is constructed. This letter forms the basis for the entire lowercase alphabet built on top of it. The monolinear stroke weight and strict grid pay homage to Harry Beck's vision of an abstract, radically clear map of the London Underground network. The typeface design is contemporary: with its technical construction and rigid grid it follows clear rules yet feels playful. Metro works for headlines as well as body text.
