About my work:

Everything in my final year was spinning around PLAY as it was my main topic in my dissertation.

MTV - Ident

Würfel Musik -- Cube Music

An old retro game & puzzle is used to create visual patterns in a manner of old analog step sequencers. Each new movement is indicated
and synchronised with the music, and last for 8 steps.

Chess - A Game

This work is about play in communication and its relationship to
printed language in everyday life. Only through play itself, the
message will be experienced.

 

Shakespeare

Font system which generates the famous Shakespeare Sonnets. Every frequency, expression, loudness triggers a different font layer. In combination it reveals the quality of the spoken word.

Eight Posters (screen prints)

My final portfolio was a set of eight posters. Each set contains the same posters but they differ in colour and overprints. Limited edition, 50 ex.
