TITLE Magazine explores new aesthetics through topics of culture, art, fashion, beauty, and identity. Founded in 2019 with a mission to offer a deep dive into the current evolution of artistic identity and expression, TITLE celebrates the diversity of communities, infusing culture with shapeshifting ideas about time and freedom, reality and space, boundaries, and illusions.

The project TITLE: Issue 05 – The Originals was created in collaboration with adidas and TITLE, aiming to publish a publication in Germany for the Cologne region as part of the international campaign. The goal was to promote Flockey Oscar, a newcomer talent in the fields of dance, performance, and poetry.

The challenge was to create a visual identity that reflected both the core brand values of adidas and the brand guidelines, as well as the diverse cultural expressions of TITLE. My role encompassed art direction, print management, and editorial design, working closely with Lena Manger and Daniel Jurkschat. We placed a strong emphasis on integrating modern typographic elements and creative layouts to present the content in a dynamic and engaging way. The project highlights the synergy between fashion and culture and underscores adidas' commitment to supporting emerging talents.

Monty Richthofen

Monty Richthofen, a Berlin-based artist, has been intensely­ ­deconstructing traditional poetry since his graduation in ­Performance Practice and Design from Central Saint Martins College in London in 2018. His work is characterized by visualizing text through painting, writing in public spaces, and tattooing. Monty has made a name for himself by challenging conventional art forms and developing new, creative modes of expression.

In my role as Art Director and Designer, I worked closely with Monty Richthofen to translate his artistic vision into a cohesive and engaging digital presence. From the initial concept to the final technical implementation of the website, I was deeply involved in visually interpreting Monty Richthofen’s unique style and artistic philosophy. The design process was highly collaborative, aiming to create a platform that not only showcases his existing works but also supports his ongoing artistic evolution. Particular attention was given to transferring the intensity and authenticity of his work into the digital realm.

The visual aspect of the project was paramount. Together, we developed a minimalist yet expressive design that reflects Monty Richthofen’s distinctive aesthetic. The website was designed to highlight the text and visual elements, with a layout that allows for clear and intuitive navigation. Through careful selection of colors, typography, and layout, we created a digital platform that conveys the depth and emotionality of Monty’s work while providing a professional and accessible user experience.

Shiver Records

Shiver Records, a newly founded record label based in Berlin and Frankfurt. Transportting and combining sounds from genres like house, trance, and techno with a contemporary vision in mind.

For the emerging Berlin label Shiver Records, I worked alongside Lena Manger and Daniel Jurkschat to develop the design for the second record Hypnotique EP, which visually reflects the ­label's vision of blending various electronic music genres like House, Trance, and Techno with a contemporary approach.

Our task was to create a visual identity that captures the energy and innovative thinking of both the musicians and the music, while also emphasizing the youthful spirit of the label. I was responsible for the art direction, communication ­betwee­n the printing company and the client, as well as the creation of the artwork using Touch Designer.

We opted for a clear, minimalist design that uses simple geometric shapes and a carefully selected color palette to ­underscore the hypnotic effect of the music. This project is an example of the successful fusion of music and visual ­design, resulting in a coherent brand experience.

homeschool magazine issue 2—exploring the different aspects of violence. As a magazine of contemporary art, society, and visual culture, homeschool is a playground for a global community of creative minds. Our experimental approach also expands to our creative projects in print, online, and live.

The second issue of homeschool Magazine addresses the topic of violence, exploring this complex subject from various perspectives within contemporary art, society, and ­visual culture. As Art Director and Editorial Designer, it was my task, along with Lena Manger, to develop a visual ­language that captures the gravity and multifaceted nature of the topic while also providing a platform for global creative voices. The use of reflective silver elements and experimental layouts enhances the deep, emotional impact of the content, inviting the reader to engage deeply with the issues presented and to reconsider them from new perspectives.
