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.
