A few words about myself.

I enjoy facing challenges and developing multidisciplinary solution concepts.

A motif I developed to represent a view of the sky from a courtyard. To make the sky easier to recognize there is a small airplane in the middle. The surrounding houses are formed by the writing “Live forever or die trying”. Afterwards I created a GIF from the fixed motif for advertising purposes.

Real-Feel Newspaper

Creation Software

Description

The task for this was quite free. We were supposed to draw something in the Drawing module. I decided to “recycle” my characters from Pixi and this time put them in a world of news. I talked to many who also know the oppressive feeling that arises when one deals with the abysses in the world and especially world politics. For this purpose I have put together all sorts of newspaper articles which have triggered the feeling in me. The newspaper articles come from the SZ editions of 7.-18.01.2021.

Description

As part of a cross-module assignment in the Interaction Technologies and Interaction Design modules, we were asked to develop and build an object in small groups (4 people) on which the results of previous projects can be presented. The approach we chose corresponds in a way to a fusion of an advertising pillar and a postcard stand. A detailed description of the project results and the process can be found in the documentation.
