A series of logos for different establishments, each represented by their own kind of animal. I picked out creatures, I thought would make for interesting mascots and tried to find different types of businesses, the animals would fit to. I wanted to work with a similar theme, to show the varied design language needed for various establishments.
I took the story of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” to design a book cover, as well as make two illustrations. These illustrations are meant to emulate rough coal drawings, fitting for the ramblings of a mad scientist and are inspired by specific passages from the book. I then used these passages to design a layout including the illustrations.
An exercise in Character Design with the main characters from “The Wizard of Oz”. For this project, I wanted to heavily lean into shape symbolism. The Scarecrow, who wants a brain, is made up of triangles, a sharp shape that’s often associated with intellectual characters. The Tin Man is built from circles, a soft and round shape, often used to make a character seem warm and friendly. Fitting, for someone who wants a heart. The Cowardly Lion, who wants courage, is made up of squares. A sturdy, unmoving shape. Dorothy and Toto are made from a mix of all these shapes to symbolise how they bring the other characters together to achieve their goal of finding the Wizard of Oz.
I designed three covers in the Swiss Style for the made-up science magazine “Liminal Space”, taking themes, that seem interesting or appealing to me and trying to represent them in this more minimal design style. Afterwards, I also designed a handful of magazine layouts, fitting to the subjects presented on each cover.
A group project, where we worked in a team of six to create a start-up. We founded the illustration & animation studio Lisika. I was part of the illustration department and in charge of designing the logo, as well as illustrations for the website. For our project we had to do a rebrand for “Roboexotica”, here it was my job to make illustrations for posters and flyers.
For the course Contract-Oriented Design, we were tasked to design a set of layouts for articles, that would be featured in the Alumni Magazine of the FH Joanneum. One of my designs was chosen for the article about the dementia exhibition“Mensch, ___ dich nicht!”.
This started as a small exercise in one of my classes, where I created an album cover to the theme “raw”, based on the prompt “include the first three words that come to mind in association with the theme”. I ended up making a series of companion albums, given I had quite a lot of fun making the first.
For this project our goal as a group was to create a game concept and flesh out the story, gameplay and design. I had the role of the creative director, making all the assets for the game, meaning not only character designs, but also environments and in-game puzzles.
For our course Typography 2, we partnered up in teams of two to create a font. Together with my partner, I designed “Radio Tower”. The font has corporate and art-deco influences and is meant to have a clean, modern design. I was in charge of sketching the font and building the letters in Illustrator, as well as creating a poster and booklet using the font.
As part of our course in art history, we were tasked to compile information about artists from the Dadaism and Surrealism movement, as well as our works done within the course. This information was then formatted into an educational booklet.
For the course Graphic and Print, the end goal was to design a booklet according to a theme chosen by ourselves. I decided on “aether”, the fifth element, which is said to fill the universe beyond our earthly plane. I integrated celestial and space elements into the assigned tasks, using not only colours to create associations with space, but also making use of literal space, often having large blank spaces on the page.
I created this mascot design as part of a contest held by the culture forum in Tokio. The goal was to create a character, that is meant to represent Austria and Austrian culture. Hereby I was inspired by Austria’s national animal, the eagle, as well as the chamois, a common animal in the alps and Perchten, Austrian folklore characters similar to Krampus.
When doing a bit of personal research on the subject of Perchten, I was amazed how many different kinds there where, most of which I didn’t even know about. This compelled me to make a graphic documenting as many as I could find, as well as which regions they belonged to.
An illustration of a self-written short comic about a military robot, who was made obsolete after the end of the war. They’re rebuild to do manual labour, but struggle to adjust to normality as they try to process the horrors they’ve seen and the sole purpose they’ve been stripped from.
My diploma work to the subject "Mythical Creatures". For this I wrote seven modern myths and illustrated them to make a picture book. In this project I wanted to combine my love for art with my passion for writing and put my ideas down on paper.
