Protecting ourselves is evolutionarily anchored in us. Our psychological defence mechanism helps us to better process and overcome situations and experiences, but there are still events that cannot be overcome so easily. Out of self-protection, we start to repress and build up an invisible protective shell. Protection that can be both helpful and a hindrance. If the experience remains unprocessed, the initially helpful protection changes into a false sense of security. This increasing constriction is visualised by layers of protection that build up to the point of almost total immobility. The resulting paralysis provides an impetus to reflect on when protection can be useful or a burden.

Burdening Protection

Kaleidocope, a magazine released twice a year, is a meeting place for a global community of creative minds. The task was to create a book for the celebration of the tenth anniversary of Kaleidoscope. Creating a new concept without any structural limitations.
 

The translation of time has formed the concept of the book. The timeline as reflection and documentation built the base structure of the layout. The images are placed free to give the designers the space they deserve. Also the content defines the visual look of the book through the formats and the relations of the existing images and texts.
 

A reflective cover as an interpretation of review and beginning supports the concept of time.

Kaleidoscope

Creating a narrative, that’s fixed in measurements and binding but filled with variable contents, was the task of this project. My decision fell on the Swiss glaciers. The climate change is a danger for all glaciers. It’s crazy what we have already lost of the glaciers. I wanted to give this important theme a platform.
 

To create depths I show the loss and the decline in the past years and in contrast the beauty of the Swiss glaciers. Also defined by the lecturer was the monochrome color. My decision was to increase the dramatic with a huge contrast of black and white. The impact of the pictures is most beautiful and effective in these colors.

Chairs, once reserved for royalty, are now an essential part of our daily lives. In this project, I explore the design, construction, and functionality of seating furniture. The design process unfolds in five stages: research, analysis, concept development, drafting, and execution. Key aspects of the project include the relationship between people and objects, as well as a focus on material usage and craftsmanship.\
 

This project focuses on designing a chair that will create a cozy and functional space in my room for reading, enjoying coffee, and relaxing. The goal is to create a comfortable, inviting armchair that can be used in different sitting positions, offering ample space for lounging. The use of light wood in the construction will help balance the solid form of the chair, giving it a sense of lightness. The seat will feature a delicately woven surface, creating a contrast that adds visual interest.

The gallery stampa is based in Basel, Switzerland. The assignment was to create a new corporate identity for the gallery.
 

A gallery gives artists space where they can present their work. The aspect of the space has defined my concept for the new identity. My idea builds up from the room shown as abstract lines. The art is in the focus. The line who creates the room is also standing for the support of the gallery without taking any attention from the artworks.

Stampa

Publisher is a magazine that releases once a year a cover designed by students. Its part of a contest called «Canon graphic art award».
 

The task was to design a cover with the theme «let’s push things forward». My interpretation for the cover includes different ways to push things forward. In the meaning of doesn’t matter how, just do something to reach your goals. In the end I visualized the impact of the actions in different colors and forms to complete the idea.
