Marissa Nadler's fourth album reveals a little more of the path that the singer and painter from Washington DC has been following: on an Americana framework, she creates songs with her fragile voice and sparse instrumentation. Our typeface, developed for the current tour poster, hints at the turn of the last century; the colour composition takes care of the rest.

Philip Emde is an artist. We designed and produced the reproductions of three of his sketchbooks named "Philip Emde hat mein Leben zerstört" ("Philip Emde ruined my life"). That’s a description that does little justice to their content, however, as the quality far exceeds mere sketches. It would be better to say an “art book”, and the standard of production was appropriately high.

A band on a journey, in large and small trains. For this video of “The Band On The Edge Of Forever” we thought of the sea at Rostock, the home town of the band. As production designer working under the fantastic guidance of director Hagen Decker (Crossing Pictures), we filmed on the (model) trains in Hamburg’s “Miniatur Wunderland”, the world’s largest model railway. That footage was combined with extra shoots in regular trains to create the impression of a perfect wonderland journey...

Check out the final video here and have a look behind the scenes.

The exhibition “Bodenschätze” (“treasures of the soil”) presents Saxon mining riches in the form of archival material from the Bergarchiv Freiberg. We designed the permanent exhibition, which can be visited at Freudenstein Palace in Freiberg, as well as a travelling exhibition with mobile exhibition stands to travel around Saxony. In Freiberg, in the palace which has been wonderfully redesigned by AFF Architekten, an exhibition room with in-built exhibition cases was used. A lavishly illustrated book to accompany the exhibition was published (by Mitteldeutschen Verlag) at the same time to provide a offer a scholarly perspective.

The “Wiener Slawistischer Almanach” (“The Vienna Slavic Studies Almanac”), a literature and linguistics periodical, has been published twice yearly since 1978 and is complemented by themed special editions. We designed the themed edition “Der dementierte Gegenstand” (“The denied object”), edited by Anke Hennig and Georg Witte, which examines the reception of materiality in the Russian avant-garde. The focus of our work on the issue was the book’s complex, multilingual composition, requiring suitable, language-specific typeface settings.

Director Hagen Decker , director of photography Philipp Kirsamer and producer Kieran Joel wanted to create great cinema for the #1 single release “Allein Allein” (Universal) from the Dresden pop band Polarkreis 18, and for that they needed a great landscape. We travelled with them to Jondal, Norway and were responsible for the production design. The performance scenes were shot in Berlin. The result was not only a great video, nominated for “best music video” at the Echo Awards 2009. We also learnt that the weather on a glacier changes approximately every three seconds…
