Redesign of an internet presence for a Berlin housing association (online from June 2013): Alongside the history and architectural significance of the “Plattenbau” apartment block style, the portal uses modern visual aesthetics and unusual features to provide an insight into modern-day life in this type of apartment. Interviews, photos and videos feature interesting residents, present furnishing ideas and implement design classics in DIY style.

Tageswoche
In association with Manuel Bürger I created a corporate and visual identity for print and web for the Basel (Switzerland) based newspaper and news portal TAGESWOCHE. In cooperation with the Swiss editorial staff and Sourcefabric, we developed a new and unique newscast. A hybrid medium consisting of daily online news and a weekly print version with elaborate background reports. (2011)

SECRET SOCIETIES
In collaboration with students of the Universität der Künste (UdK), I created a visual campaign for the exhibition Secret Societies at the SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT in spring 2011. At first glance the posters and invitation cards are black, only after careful consideration do a labyrinth and the printing become apparent. (2010)
Der Freitag
In cooperation with Alexander Seeberg-Elverfeldt (vice AD) I redesigned the newspaper DER FREITAG. Our work was crucial in creating a new face for the publication. In six months we developed a new basic layout and style of imagery. We also introduced a new font drawn by Lucas de Groot. Some of the examples shown are layouts created by the current art department, based on the designs we developed. (2008)
