FLASH IN THE PAN
2024

flash in the pan is an electronic music club night based in london. with the posters main goal being to attract young music enthusiasts, we went for bright, eye-catching colours and bold typography. a shiny 3D object and a background resembling video game aesthetics make up for a retrofuturist look, emphasizing on their eclectic sound ranging from future bass to 90s trance. 

IVORY 
2022 – ongoing

IVORY is an electronic music event series based in the ruhr area, germany. they organize club nights and open airs, aiming to offer an alternative to the dominating techno sound in the region. 

having had full creative freedom with these, they represent my exploration in style and technique over the years. while some of them
have a 3D object as their main focus, some play with bold and experimental typographic layouts.

MDM 2023
MDM is a semester party in witten, germany, run by Unikat. their approach to hosting parties is to come up with a unique theme for each one and go all in with decorations, building an exciting parallel universe for their guests.

i was asked to work on two posters for them, exploring the themes of “kaleidoscope” and “lucid dreams”.

for the kaleidoscope one it was a no-brainer to me to create symmetrical visuals resembling the reflections of the optical instrument. the challenge here was to make it recognizable without resorting to worn out mandala-esque visuals. the solution was sticking to one colour and creating a contrast with modern typography. 

for the lucid dreams poster they requested a magical forest, which i manipulated to look more abstract, like a fever dream, and combined with wavy 3D handlettering.
  
DYKE* NIGHTS
2022 – ongoing

dyke* nights are monthly events hosted by dykes*, bi’s and queers at raum café in witten, germany. sometimes they offer program and special drinks, in any case they aim to offer a space in which queers have more room. a queer bar night that doesn’t exist like this in witten. 

they have been quite the success since starting two years ago, attracting queers from around the whole ruhr area, and i feel honoured to have been asked to work on their posters from the beginning. 

as you can see, the brief looked quite different each time, yet conveying a similar vibe. 

RUHRBANE LIGA
2022

ruhrbane liga is an exchange platform for civic initiatives in the ruhr region that are aiming to shape the green city of the future in practice.

their mother organisation being urbane liga in berlin, they branched out in 2022 to start similar projects in the ruhr area – an industrial area in the west of germany consisting of a lot of bigger and smaller cities very close to each other. 

these posters were part of a kick-off workshop lasting several days, bringing together people from different initiatives in the region. 

the area’s official slogan is “city of cities”, which for this campaign I changed to “citymakers of cities”. the challenge here was to make all of the relevant information digestable and incorporate it into a visually appealing, modern layout. the solution was to play with different type sizes and a high contrast between graphically loaded areas and white space.
  
COMMON SAALBAU
2024

saalbau is a performance theater in the centre of witten, which opened in 1975. 


this poster was made for a seminar aiming to make it into an open space for everyone and make sure it will still function as an important cultural institution in the future.   
SELECTED FREE WORK
2021 – 2023

here’s a small selection of posters i created for uni or in my free time. these were all about exploration, mainly of typographic nature. some of these are political, some are expressions of my thoughts and feelings throughout the years. 

i wanted to include them as these practices have shaped the way i see graphic design and led me to the style i am at now.
