100 Poster Battle – Design students from Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Art guest at Neue Sammlung

“100 Days, 100 Posters” – taking this as their motto, some 50 students from Dortmund and Cairo spent a semester exploring the potential of poster design. For them, “The 100 Poster Battle” meant designing a new poster every day, inspired by current events and social debates.
The objective behind the project was to enable students to experiment with all manner of techniques and forms of expression and tease out the limits of design. Two focal points were the topics of tourism and gentrification, which all the students had to address.
This resulted in a vibrant exchange of ideas, views, and draft proposals.

The results have already been showcased in Lisbon and Dortmund and will now go on display in Neue Sammlung in a prominent place next to the typecase at the entrance to the design section. The presentation features a selection of 108 posters in hanging textile banners that the students themselves curated. The students were invited to exhibit their designs in the context of the major installation PAULA SCHER – TYPE IS IMAGE that has been on show since June at Die Neue Sammlung – The Design Museum.

A toZ — Type Specimens
a project of the 2nd semester Graphic Design
course of Prof. Markus Lange at
TH Nuremberg — University of Applied Sciences
Faculty of Design

A type specimen is a document or display that showcases the characteristics,
styles, and variations of a typeface or font. It serves as a visual representation
of the font, allowing designers, typographers, and other users to see how
the typeface looks in different sizes, weights, and styles. They typically include
samples of the font in various sizes, from small text to large headings, as well
as examples of different weights (such as regular, bold, and italic) and styles
(such as serif or sans-serif). Additionally, specimens may showcase special
characters, numerals, ligatures, and other typographic features that are part
of the font. Specimens can be printed or presented digitally, and they play a
crucial role in helping designers make informed decisions about which fonts
to use for different design projects.

Seeen is a movement enabling a public of contemporary creatives. It aims to display the diverse works and identities that constitute today’s creative scene in Cairo. Seeen seeks to represent creatives’ humane and personal side and share their journeys to develop their identity as designers. Searching for unsought answers that help offer a deeper understanding of local creatives—their inspirations, processes, hurdles, struggles, and perspective on the on-goings of the design scene, as well as starting conversations about ownership and what “independence” in design means today.

OHMshorts - Festival for Moving Image offers a diverse range of films, from drama to comedy and everything in between. The festival shows students work of the Faculty Design of the TH Nuremberg University of Applied Sciences. The first edition took place in November 2023. The task was to design a visual identity for the new festival. In addition to the use of classic print media such as posters and merchandise, however, the main focus was on designing various animated image formats outside and inside the movie theater to guide the audience through the evening.

Development and implementation of a corporate identity for the performance artist Alfredo Zinola.
In addition to the development of the identity, it was also about the creation of an unusual business card, which in the first contact not only passes on the contact details but rather tells about the different programs and gives a first impression. Business card vs. portfolio.

100 POSTER BATTLE 2—Sharing Cultural Identities
By Students of FH Dortmund and Münster School of Design and young graphic designers from Cairo with Lars Harmsen and Markus Lange

100 Poster Battle #2—Sharing Cultural Identities is an experimental, bilingual poster design project supervised by Lars Harmsen and Markus Lange, that brings together students from different universities to design posters.

In a first round, black and white basic motifs were created, consisting of typography / text, or image / illustration / photo, or background. Just like in screen printing, the various layers were to be brought together in such a way that they all use the previously created pool.

Symbolically, this is already the first step of sharing cultural identity: that everyone has formulated his idea and vision in advance, but then mixes it with the thoughts and images of others, combines—to then also see from others how their own work moves and acquires new meanings. In terms of content, they covered three themes: Fashion & Subculture, Food, and City.

With all these topics all participants learned a lot from each other. Not only then, but also in the aftermath. The creation of this publication gave rise to a very close relationship between some of them. The designers worked together for days and nights, appreciating each other over the countless online sessions and conversations. They became friends in the process.

The editorial design students of Markus Lange and Philipp Paulsen the German University in Cairo used the pandemic to embark on a truly unique project. Combining the class’ forces, 18 young designers spent eight months conducting interviews with various designers from the MENA (Middle East and North African) region, shining a light on the underrepresented talent in the vast geographical area. As a result of the students’ efforts, the class decided to create a magazine, gathering the 70 interviews across 14 different MENA countries in a bilingual, non-profit visual culture magazine titled Makhzan Magazine.

Karl-Heinz Drescher (born on October 7, 1936 in Quirl; died on May 19, 2011 in Berlin) was a graphic artist working at Bertolt Brecht’s world famous theater Berliner Ensemble as a graphic designer for almost 40 years. In addition to his work at this house, Drescher also worked for other organizers, museums, galleries, and theaters, amongst others the Akademie der Künste der DDR, the Maxim-Gorki-Theater, and the Deutsche Staatsoper in Berlin. His catalog of works today comprises over 400 posters, about one third printed with letterpress.

In a one-year research, I contacted Drescher’s family and conducted various interviews with companions and friends to find out more about this talented designer, who studied from 1955 to 1960 in the former GDR at the same school as he did (Burg Giebichenstein, formerly Hochschule für industrielle Formgestaltung).

For the first time, this book summarizes most of Karl-Heinz Drescher’s (typographic) posters in one comprehensive volume and contains texts and interviews by various authors such as Dr. Friedrich Diekmann, Dr. Sylke Wunderlich, Helmut Brade, Niklaus Troxler, Gerd Fleischmann, Jamie Murphy, Erik Spiekermann, Ferdinand Ulrich, Götz Gramlich, Peter Kammerer, Vera Tenschert, Cesarina and Alessandro Drescher. “Karl-Heinz Drescher—Berlin Typo Posters, Texts, and Interviews” serves as a review of the life of an extraordinary theater graphic designer but also as an inspiration for the here and now.

In a 3-day workshop, the basics of screen printing were taught in an experimental and playful way to professionals but also non-professionals from various fields. In addition to the workshop itself, I have been in exchange with the Contemporary Image Collective Cairo since the end of 2019 to set up and develop their own screen printing studio in order to establish a freely accessible place for artistic screen printing in Cairo. This workshop was the first print session there and hopefully, hundreds will follow in the future.

Students learn techniques through a workshop-based foundation course, where they work from the very first lesson within a format and learn bit by bit the essential cornerstones of poster design. In the beginning, teaching is almost exclusively analog and is increasingly supplemented by digital processing. However, the analog, handmade, self-cut and self-feeling always plays an important role and especially in times of increasing digitalization handmade plays an increasingly important role. Through the theme of Remix Cairo/Egypt, the poster design course also explores cultural characteristics as well as the cultural identity and themes of the country.

In my Visual Information course at the German University in Cairo, Egypt, research was the main focus of the students' work in winter semester 19.
In addition to various techniques and approaches to research, the students' examination of the selected topic in group discussions and individual presentations played a decisive role. As a result, each student prepared a publication that discusses the selected topic with researched facts. The publication has a double use as a magazine and poster.

Throughout one semester the students discovered
the basics of designing with letters, words and texts,
techniques to research, and how and where to get
their inspiration from.
It began with the exploration of Latin based typefaces,
their classification and suitability for their purpose
in terms of aesthetics, effective communication and
functionality. Through their design process and tasks
students discovered the anatomy of letterforms and
designs and learned to create layouts while considering
hierarchy, micro and macro typography, legibility,
meaning and aesthetics.
The course includes typographic experimentation, the
development of ideas, the review of the relationship
between connotation and denotation, and the link between
verbal and visual meanings and form. Besides
the theoretical element, the students were introduced
to different analog and digital techniques and how to
combine them to create an impressive outcome.

In Summer 2017 Lars Harmsen and Markus Lange went on tour and printed silkscreen posters with a bunch of artists from Poland, working with local artists in Athens, Istanbul, Moscow and Kiev. You can order the two limited publications (full-color 114 pages / black & white 108 pages = 222 pages) and four DIN A3 Riso prints.

POSTER REX was founded in 2014 by the graphic designers Lars Harmsen (Munich) and Markus Lange (Leipzig) from Studio Farn. For each session, they invite an artist to create unique posters, produced in different silkscreen workshops around the globe. All posters are silkscreen printed by hand or with other digital or analog techniques. Each session has its own topic. POSTER REX also offers workshops for students. By now, the collection counts over 1,500 unique posters. A set of posters have been curated for exhibitions.

Poster Rex was founded by Markus Lange and Lars Harmsen (Slanted Publishers) back in 2014 after a silkscreen print workshop in Havanna in Cuba. In the following years they had a lot of print sessions in different print studios all over the world. For each session they invite an artist/designer to create unique posters to an specific topic in a experimental workshop format. All posters are printed by hand with Silkscreen or with other digital or analog techniques. By now, their collection counts over 2.000 unique posters. They worked together with designers like Jiri Oplatek of Claudiabasel in Basel, Mirko Borsche in Munich, Frank Höhne in Leipzig, Edwin van Gelder of Mainstudio in Amsterdam, Peter Bankov in Moscow, Gregorz Laszuk in Warsaw, Ariane Spanier in Berlin and many more.

In their latest project they toured to Athens, Istanbul, Moscow and Kiev, to visit local designers and bring them together with designers from Poland. In these intense 2 weeks they visited 4 different cities and create in each city posters in local silkscreen workshops. After this tour they decided to freeze these intense weeks and impressions into a publication. These printed pages give a glimpse into the journey, meetings, working and sharing good times with local artists and poster designers from Poland.

For an entire week, Amsterdam was the place to be for string quartets and composers — from the world top to young talent — enthusiasts and curious listeners. In 2020 the Muziekgebouw will once again be all about string quartet when we're back for our second edition: 25 January to 1 February.
For the first issue we developed the whole Corporate identity and worked on different projects like the program book.

Burg Giebichenstein is a modern university of art and design combining elements of a design school, an art academy and a school of modern media. The institution is well equipped with state-of-the-art studios and workshops for almost all technical and handcraft procedures. Students get a lot of individual attention from a highly qualified body of academic staff. The education aims at internationalization and finds its support and practical application in cooperation with partners in industry and trade and with institutions of the public and private sector. Creative young people will find a varied programme and a place where they can explore and professionalize their talents in intellectual and practical exchange.

Entitled »BurgRoadShow«, selected works of alumni and students of the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design will be exhibited this year at Milan. The products and concepts on display have been developed in the school’s departments of Industrial Design, Ceramics and Glass Design, Textile Design as well as in Interior Architecture and Communication Design.

The art collective and band APPARATJIK (Magne Furuholmen from a-ha, Guy Berryman from Coldplay, Jonas Bjerre from Mew and Martin Terefe), who settle themselves between music and art, regularly publishes their iPad magazine APPARATJIK WORLD. Interactivity and moving images are the key features of this medium. The question was how to bring the digital format into a printed one - the opposite way in a time where magazines are increasingly released in internet or mobile applications. What we did is a reinterpretation of the existing visual materials that is used for the iPad magazine and the internet. Further we created new artworks that round up the attitude SHOULD NOT BE ON DISPLAY.

Revolution or evolution? Fall or rise? Whorehouse or paradise? Cola or guarapo? Marlboro or Cohiba? Beans or lobster? Freedom or Guantanamo? Track suit or tie? Internet or carrier pigeon? Salsa or rap? Old-timer or Turbo? Museum or future-lab? Work or none? Hope or exile? Or a mix of all of these queries? It’s different than we think – much more complicated, deep and full of surprises. Reason enough to dedicate the 21st issue of Slanted Magazine to a young generation of Cuban designers and artists.

“Slanted #21: CUBA – The New Generation” illuminates contemporary design, photography, illustration and typography from Cuba with a special focus on Cuban poster art – most projects and artworks have never been shown outside Cuba

In Summer 2017 Lars Harmsen and Markus Lange went on tour and printed silkscreen posters with a bunch of artists from Poland, working with local artists in Athens, Istanbul, Moscow and Kiev. POSTER REX was founded in 2014 by the graphic designers Lars Harmsen (Munich) and Markus Lange (Leipzig) from Studio Farn. For each session, they invite an artist to create unique posters, produced in different silkscreen workshops around the globe. All posters are silkscreen printed by hand or with other digital or analog techniques. Each session has its own topic. POSTER REX also offers workshops for students. By now, the collection counts over 1,500 unique posters. A set of posters have been curated for exhibitions.

The exhibition throws light on the always same approach counterfeiters of art make in production, marketing and distribution. Figures, places and circumstances are changing while dramaturgy, however, remains the same. Selected exhibits of Otto Wacker, Han van Meegeren and Wolfgang Beltracchi reveal secrets from the world of beautiful appearance. Scientific exami­n­ations follow the footsteps of counterfeits – struggling for the truth and authenticity of art.

We were responsible for the exhibition design, advertising campaign, poster design and catalog design.
