Der Freitag
In close collaboration with Alexander Seeberg-Elverfeldt (Vice Art Director), we have redesigned the newspaper derFreitag, which is awarded World's Best-Designed 2009. The design prevailed over 240 other nominations. Our work was crucial in creating the new face of derFreitag. During seven months, we have developed the new layout and an innovative style of imagery. Some of the shown examples are layouts realized by the current art department, based on the designs we have developed.

SECRET SOCIETIES
In collaboration with students from the Berlin University of the Arts (UDK), we have 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.
Dummy Magazin
Each edition of this German magazine is a playground for different
art directors. Alexander Seeberg-Elverfeldt and me
did an edition dedicated to the topic, "Tempo". Two series and the
cover appearing in the „Tempo” edition were awarded at the Lead Awards.
