An ode to probably the technically most advanced skateboarder there has ever been.

Work in progress. The general brief is to make a fictional exhibition on the subject 'Private / Public' (to be shown with a little cardboard model) and two posters – one for your own exhibit and one including everyone else's work from the class. I'm basically switching ideas and concept every second day.The ones you're seeing are three days old :) From left to right:

'Scents' – Extracting the body odor from people and making a whole exhibition just with smells and scents. Posters are based solely on color schemes trying to visualize 'scents'. They are sprayed with strong perfume, so you can actually smell them when walking past.

'Scars' – Making an exhibition about scars, ranging from human scars to scars in nature, scarred objects etc. There would be traps set up in the room, making people trip, fall and take a 'souvenir' back home. Posters scarred in the way that their pure white surface is either ripped open, cut into or actually 'scared' (scratched from the back side, very subtle – top right poster, can't really see it, sorry).

'Private / Public' – My concept for the 'group poster'. Poster that can be folded or split in the middle. Can than either be hung in the way on the right, only showing half, forcing the viewer to tear away the 'Public' half. Or – which was the initial idea – can be hung into door frames and folded around the corner so that only the 'Public' part can be seen when walking past. One would then actually have to open the door, i.e. intrude a private space to see the 'Private' half (pics will follow).

I love movies. And I watch huge amounts of them. But instead of categorizing movies by their genre, I often do so by the 'noise' they produce. As most films – comedies, thrillers, dramas – are quite balanced in their 'loud' and 'quiet' moments, they would be 'medium volume' in my book. But there are always a couple of extremes: very 'quiet' and very 'loud' movies. Here my favorite ten masterpieces of each category. Like I said, just for the hell of it.

10. You And Me And Everyone We Know (2005)

Loud

1. Fight Club (1999)
2. Irréversible (2002)

6. La Haine (1995)

9. The Matrix (1999)
10. Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas (1998)

Still the same Typography assignment – this week we were supposed to wrap a book that we designed / made ourselves. Unfortunately in my case those books are all back in Germany, except for one. That one is a permanent birthday calender I quickly produced during bookbinding class last year. So how to wrap a birthday calender? In birthday balloons of course! Two different solutions based on the same idea.

...with all this bright sunlight coming through my window.

And again...
