«Through my broad experience in interaction and
I am versatile in communication design»

  • 15 years of professional experience in communication design

  • 3 years UX/UI design experience:
    Further training «HF Interaction Media Design»

Since my preliminary design course 24 years ago, I have gained extensive experience in communication and graphic design. With my further training as a "HF Interaction Designer" I expanded my spectrum to include UX/UI design and user research. This combination enables me to develop creative and user-centered solutions. In my career as a polygrapher so far, I have successfully completed numerous projects in print and communication design, including books, brochures, logos and much more.

MOTION DESIGN

Skull

In the project "Rhythm and Editing" I harmoniously combined movement and rhythm. I created the graphics in Procreate on the iPad Pro and edited them in Photoshop. Post-production was done in Adobe After Effects and Audition. The aim was to creatively present an interactive everyday object in a video sequence, with visual and acoustic elements working together perfectly.

Gloggomobil

In the Timebased Media II - Video/Audio course, I took part in the quarterly project "Rhythm and Editing". The goal was to present an interactive object in a creative and appealing way, both visually and acoustically. The process included all steps of media design, from conception to production and post-production.

In this project, I enhanced an image using the augmented reality app Adobe Aero by combining analogue and digital areas. The end product was an animation that, together with the printed image, created a harmonious overall image.

PREPRESS

In dieser Galerie finden Sie ausschliesslich Arbeiten, die ich vollständig von A bis Z selbst gestaltet und produziert habe. Wie Sie vielleicht wissen, bearbeitet ein Polygraf bereits vorhandene Daten weiter, weshalb solche Arbeiten hier nicht aufgeführt sind. In meiner bisherigen Laufbahn habe ich jedoch hunderte von Akzidenzarbeiten ausgeführt, darunter Bücher, Zeitungen, Formulare, Broschüren, Beschriftungen, Briefschaften, Logos und eigentlich alles, was gedruckt werden kann. Ausserdem habe ich in einer kleinen Druckerei eigenverantwortlich gemeinsam mit dem Chef die Druckvorstufe geleitet.

VR World

In this project we designed our own virtual reality (VR) experience by creating a digital 3D world and integrating various interaction options. The goal was to create an exciting experience that takes the real space into account (video to follow).
