Design for Home Cooking Stories
Home Cooking Stories is all about food and the relationship to your home. Especially stories of people, who life outside there home country can tell interesting stories about foot - best while cooking with friends. Home Cooking Stories will show the food, reciepes, cooking concepts and the story behind that. So it isn´t only a reciepe cook blog, more a transmedia storytelling plattform.
The idea of the logo is to see an object, a plant and with second view the thing behind it. So we liked the idea of cutlery and two hearts for feeling home and the love of food. We decided to take the spoon, because in every culture is a spoon connected to food, fork, knife, chopsticks are not that cross-cultural.

Designing a bob
Designing a bob is very different from my usually work. Idea was to make it really big, because a bob slight is a fast thing.
And here you can see the making of
Skilly
Skilly was a job portal with the idea of social networks - in 2004. I created a special logo type named Skillsy, tough and robust, but also dynamic and stylish. Unfortunatly it was not an easy time for startups to find venture capital, so after 6 month the project died. And I never has finished the font.
Sun And Stars
Quick logo design for Sun And Stars. In one night from start to finish. It should contains stars and a sun, because these metaphers will also used in the communication. And it is an organisation for better energy concepts, so the flower or windmill shape fits.
Telekommunisten
Logo and CD for Telekommunisten - The Revolution Is Calling.
Telekommunisten think in a different way: Worker Owned and Operated and they introduce the Prototyping of Venture Communism. The first collective investment product is Dialstation, which allow any land line or mobile telephone to make very inexpensive international phone calls.
Punk Kongress
In 2004 I lost the pitch for the Punk Congress in Kassel. Briefing was: Not like Sex Pistols! The winning CI looks very Sex Pistols. Ok, this happens sometimes. But I think, Punk can also look like this.
Unsere Agenten
Website for the event agency "Unsere Agenten" ("Our Agents") in 2001. Everything in the top secret look of special agents. A lot of animations and an interactive game was built in Flash 5.
Virtual Venture Competition
The consulting agency McKinsey & Company called for business plans in 2007 inside the virtual world Second Life. Titel: Bring Ideas to Life. The special thing: everything in this competition take place in Second Life, the information, meetings, the presentations and so on. And the winners should do there project also in Second Life. So we build an Oriantation Island for the main basics of Second Life, Startup-Path to inform everybody about the tasks and rules, a main building with a huge lecture theatre up to 160 people (at this time the biggest technical possible hall in Second Life), 4 meeting rooms with interactive white boards, 2 extra buildings with showrooms and a lounge area.
Main agency was pixelpark, together with Sebastian Küppers I was responsible for the architecture of all buildings. We also model a lot of stuff, especially the complete Oriantation Island.
Temporäre Kunsthalle Berlin
For a period of two years, 2008 - 2010, the Temporäre Kunsthalle Berlin has presented contemporary international art at a historically charged location. In a tensional relationship to the Museum Island and all previous and future uses of the Schlossplatz, it represents contemporariness in the center of Berlin. The architecture by Adolf Krischanitz is grasped as a "projection screen" from the inside and outside, on which artistic designs are shown to a broad public.
I worked for the project from the beginning. It was a hard fight - espacilly for Constanze Kleiner and Coco Kühn - and finally we won. I made the website for the political initiative, a lot of promotional content like the first art hall in Second Life with the exact architecture of the upcoming hall and much more. Here you see pictures from the initial website with the blue pixelsky fassade from Gerwald Rockenschaub and the first inside exibition from Candice Breitz. A lot of javascript functionality, dragging of the content pane, switching toi full screen views and so on. Graphic design was made by www.glow-berlin.de and www.veryvery.de.
After a period of two years Temporäe Kunsthalle Berlin has been closed as planned on August 31, 2010.
