Bottle Design

The aim of this project is to translate a taste experience into haptic 3D bottle packaging. The approach of this project was to focus on one sense and block out all external impressions.




To this end, various drinks were tested in order to represent their taste sensation as a line. The line describes the development of the sensation from the beginning of the drink to its aftertaste. Sparkling water was of particular interest here, as it has a neutral taste but is exceptional in terms of the sensation line.





Bottle Design
Photo series inspired by the New Objectivity, a style of photography in which natural forms, industrial themes and mass products are depicted with the clarity of scientific illustrations. This series shows an everyday subject, electricity, which corresponds to the expression of New Objectivity through a sharply focused, matter-of-fact style and a clear pictorial concept. However, it stands out due to its affinity for detail and interest in special perspectives.

Oil painting recreating a poster from the third season

AHS Coven

This work was created as part of an assignment at the BKS Chur. The medium of oil paint was introduced in order to recreate a scene or poster of a movie/show. 




A poster from the third season of the American horror anthology television series, called "American Horror Story", with the subtitle "Coven" was the chosen model for this work.

Based on a scanned template, a 16-page fanzine was created for the song

Fanzine

Based on a scanned template, a 16-page fanzine was created for the song "$uicideboy$ were better in 2015", using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign.




The song features a dark piano sample, Memphis vocals and lyrics surrounding depression, drug addiction and suicide. 




It takes a look back into the themes and styles that made the duo famous and how, despite evolving both as people and artists, fans still wish for them to keep their original rapping style, themes of depression and suicide, and overall mellow tones.

Destructive vision

"To create, one must first question everything" - Eileen Gray


This was the quote chosen for this work. The aim was to create a button design and a free application to go with it. 


The concept was to literally scrutinise everything: What defines everything?


Starting with research on the TOE (Theory of Everything) and inspired by the book I was reading, 1984 by George Orwell, trying to question and depict "everything". 


Looking at the human body in its layers of existence was another aspect of the work; the skeletal system, the nervous system, the soul.

In the end, however, experimenting with the 3D tool from Adobe Illustrator was the main focus of this work.
