FAZ: “Bilder und Zeiten”

For a project concerning consumer culture we created an insert for and in collaboration with FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung).
We were invited by Andreas Platthaus to work with their editorial team on Monday and Tuesday completing our piece of newspaper for the current issue on this weekend (publication date: 17th march).

If you are not able to buy a copy you can still have a glimpse right here:

Thanks to the whole FAZ staff for the valuable insight.

Metal Initials

My 1st semester typo task got a little rusty. But after a year, the sawed aluminium plates seem even more attractive, don’t they …? I’m curious about how it will be looking in another year’s time. Or seeing the leftovers when I end up completing my studies.

Discover the corrosion phenomena:
