This picture really was a hard piece of work. The most expensive project I have ever done for the university, and a lot of problems during its process that almost impeded the shooting. Fortunately it turned out quite pleasant and even though I was running late I enjoyed the shooting a lot.

The picture itself is my personal hommage to Roman poet Ovid with his masterpiece “Metamorphoses”. I tried to combine several stories in one picture; each one pictured by one of the objects in the composition. The objects itself are modern day symbols that I created by reducing the storyline to its main-metamorphosis. I have to admit, that soome of them are quite tricky to get. The selection of the stories was merely by my liking and some famous tales that everybody has heard of somehow. Enjoy.

This poster was part of an exercise I made for a course on typography. We had to draw a pangram by hand to practice our typographic skills. That’s what I came up with.Oh, the pangram is a german one and it reads:

“Prall vom Whisky flog Quax den Jet zu bruch".

A very loose translation into english for everyone who doesn’t speak german:

“Drunk by the whisky, Quax crashed the jet. "

I made a website for an insurance broker in Tenerife (Canary Islands). We tried to take a different approach than usual insurance companies and loosen the layout up. Sandy colors instead of whites and greytones, and friendly illustrations rather than stockphotography.

For the mugshots of the staff I decided to replace them with some illustrations, which are inspired by the real appearance of these people. 

For some pages I already created some alternate version of the group-picture. I am planning on changing them for most of the pages, so they actual fit the policy. But that’s something for the future.

›Dieter von Teese‹ is an hommage to Dita von Teese, and to some of my friends my new nickname. We came up with this name one night in Erlangen, when we were meeting some people from another university. One guy told me his name was Robert and I – for some inexplicable reason – repeat his name. But instead of saying ›Robert‹ I said ›Roberta‹. He didn’t like the sound of that very much and replied, that I rather look like a “Dieter”, too. From there, the whole thing just started to become hilarious and we had an awesome night together. And the rest as they say is history.

I just came back from a comic convention in Erlangen (Germany) where I spend 5 days with some friends of the university. We had a stand at the trade fair, where we made buttons and drew postcards for the audience. And yes, we did wear those funny jumpsuits. It was a marvellous time and we enjoyed every minute of it. As the whole story takes about 2 hours to tell (I told it several times already) I’d rather recommend you to come to the presentation at the HBK Braunschweig on June 15th. We’ll have free beer. ^^

I forgot to mention, that the photographs were (mainly) taken by Martin ‘Zahnseide’ Müller and Tien-Vu ‘Vanni’ Do. Thanx guys.

This poster was a project for a friend of mine, who asked me if I could help her designing a poster for a competition at her university. She and some friends had all this data and informations which they needed to visualize in some way, but they didn’t know how. So I decided to give it a shot and try my best to help them. They won the competition =)
