designer, developer, creative thinker, storyteller, problem solver, stickler for details.

Hello! I'm Felix, a multi-disciplinary visual and conceptual designer. I graduated in Summer 2011, after studying Communication Design with specialisation in corporate design and a strong focus on creative thinking and high quality crafting. Currently I'm working on different projects in the digital and interaction design fields.

Prinzip Turbulenz

Typography generative Simulation Publication

»Prinzip: Turbulenz« is a publication, that combines literary, scientific and journalistic articles about chaos, order and the things in between. The challenge is to combine these distinct topics in one publication and to call attention to the role of chaos and order in our everyday life as well as to its aesthetic and philosophic power.

The idea: The visual idea is based on a streaming river. In a flow, you can discover both chaos and order. When it is straight, without any disruption, it's very ordered. But when it gets interrupted, for example by a stone lying in a river, it becomes chaotic, swirled, twisted, in short: turbulent. In the publication, the streamlines of such a flow are

the carrier for the contents. As a flow is not interrupted but continuous, I decided to print the whole publication on one fanfold paper. The final sheet is 47 cm high and 8.70 meters wide. This unusual format as well as the striking streamline visuals also help to excite the viewer's curiosity.

The realization: First of all, 42 »stones«, represented by white circles, were randomly arranged on the layout area.The visualization of the streamlines was accomplished by programming a custom fluid simulation in the programming language Processing. The simulated fluid floats around the »disrupters« and migrates to turbulent behavior.

The gradually changing closeness of the stones leads to a gradient from a very turbulent area to a very ordered section. The subject-matter and the typography both follow this progression. From free, high-contrast typography and the subject chaos, to more and more clean and structured type and articles about order. This all leads to a

strict hierarchy of the design elements: The »stones« build the base, the fluid floats around the them, the style of typography and the contents follow the streamlines. The flip side of the publication gives a short insight »behind the scenes«. The whole source code of the fluid simulation is printed upon it, together with a very brief description of the

mathematics behind it. Small holes punched in the middle of each »stone« enable a peek on the source code from the front side hinting to the back and reminding that the natural appearing streamline graphics were generated by straight mathematical logic.

TASCHEN Digital Magazine

interactive Conceptual UX/UI D&AD digital

Concept and Design of the TASCHEN Magazine for digital Tablet Devices. Awarded with a D&AD Yellow Pencil

Creative Challenge: With the advent of the multimedia tablet, such as the iPad, an opportunity for TASCHEN has arisen to produce digital publications for these devices.

Using the 30th Anniversary edition of the magazine as your template, create a digital format of the publication that makes full use of a tablets capabilitIes, that will appeal to current and new audiences.

Target Audience: The target audience is very broad, considering the diversity of the titles

published by TASCHEN. They are primarily interested in reaching the section that has the power to purchase tablet devices. They tend to be aged between 35 to 60 or 65. These are also people that appreciate art, architecture, design and history and, in the case of TASCHEN, very illustrated or substantial coffee table books. In essence, they appreciate

print but are also interested in cutting edge technology. As a group they enjoy the latest advancements and the finer things in life.
