Gridless Notations
Diagrams explain the important themes for designers: „looking at ideas“, „taste classified“ and „What you have to say“ as the basis of creative output.

documenta. Politik und Kunst
The “d” is documenta’s distinctive mark and the defining element of the communication media for the DHM exhibition documenta. Politics and Art. The geometrically constructed letter takes up the history of graphic images — from the first documenta in 1955 to documenta X in 1997. Historical photographs of the major international exhibition are used, which are given a common identifying mark in the form of the “d”. The resulting surfaces are overprinted with colours that also go back to historical originals. The form and colours pay tribute to the visual diversity of the graphic design of the international exhibition. A typographic element with the correct counting of the respective exhibitions is introduced as a supplement.

Sondermarken
Different designs of special stamps for the Federal Ministry of Finance 2018 – 2020. A commemorative stamp is a postage stamp, often issued on a significant date such as an anniversary, to honor or commemorate a place, event, person, or object. The subject of the commemorative stamp is usually spelled out in print, unlike definitive stamps which normally depict the subject along with the denomination and country name only.

herbert.gd
This platform represents the Graphic Design Division Herbert.gd of the Visual Communications Department at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Named after our patron saint Herbert Bayer, we continue the creative legacy and transformative ideas of the traditional Bauhaus movement. Designed by Moritz Ebeling

Bungalow
The title design of the film production “Bungalow” for ARTE/HR is based on the design idea of Armin Hoffmann’s methodical exercises for graphic arts classes at the arts and crafts department of the Allgemeine Gewerbeschule Basel. These kinetic movements mask the start and end sequences of Stefanie Appel’s film as a composition with the typographic elements.

DO THE STARS NEED A REASON TO SHINE?
This book presents eighteen visual works created between 2011 and 2022. Most of the designs are predicated on the principle of improvisational loops. Interim results are repeatedly tested and varied until a final theme and form emerge from the process. Weisbeck also applies this mode of thinking, which is quite familiar to designers, outside the parameters of commissioned work: the results of his ongoing visual research are presented here in context.

Isa Genzken, Biennale di Venezia 2007
Corporate Campaign
The campaign for the German Pavilion of the 52. Venice Biennale illustrates specific excerpts of Venice, similar to Isa Genzken’s artistic style in her installation “Oil”. Thus, the image of the campaign is a reference to the cliché of the lagoon city just like the artistic contribution in the pavilion and cites that part of the work that uses similar reflections. Ordered were: advertisements, large-scale posters as well as an internet website. Photography by Jörg Baumann

ZOOM

A separate bar area is used for smaller concerts and readings. The design is based on the graphic elements as variants of as many different arrangements as possible. The transparency accompanies the entire communication.
