Description

Art direction today is no longer about designing, but about making the right decisions.

As a freelance Art Director and Editorial Designer, I develop visual brand identities, publications, and design systems that clearly structure content and make brands precisely visible. From the idea through the design system to implementation, I translate complex content into a visual language with orientation, recognition, and impact.

My focus is on editorial art direction, client magazines, and corporate publications – with strong typography, clear grids, and clean layout systems in Adobe InDesign. I work from Dresden and Reutlingen in the DACH region, remotely or on-site on a project basis.

Graphical refresh for the new magazine "entdeckt" to present exciting research topics in a reader-friendly and visually appealing way.

WERKSTATT X conceptualized a clearly structured layout according to the CD of the Helmholtz Association, Germany's largest research organization. WERKSTATT X succeeded in giving the magazine an individual identity. Each issue contains a focus topic as well as research news and information about new employees, working groups, and interesting events.

The first issue of "entdeckt" was published in 2012, replacing the previous "FZD-JOURNAL". The design agency has been responsible for the graphic implementation for over 10 years. This includes image processing, clean room production, and prepress.
