Social Networks, what dreams are made off
Now you' re the new dork
There is nothing you can't do
This V.C money is brand new
The geek is now damn cool

Here is one of the very few examples of how wonderful a product website can feel. Its a very fluid experience switching between videos and clean product shots, zooming in and out. The whole project feels quite unpretentious and natural, creating a nice brand experience and contrast to all the other bold advertising rubbish out there.

Street-edge meets high-end design as contemporary Dutch calligrapher, typographer and designer Niels Meulman, also known as graffiti artist “SHOE” from the legendary Crime Time Kings, explores the contours of words as images in "Calligraffiti" - his hybrid art form which blends calligraphy and graffiti. He presents for our viewing pleasure a wonderful interplay of contrasts, such as ‘black-white’ and ‘rise-fall’, with a series of fast phrases and upbeat witticisms in the form of captivating typographic masterpieces.

Otto Pfeiffer’s OKI-restaurant had a cult following in Berlin, his inventive frisian-japanese cuisine earned him a „Prix du fooding de la meilleure table fusion“. Now Otto is back with his newest innovation: OKI Food takes the old-fashioned way of conservating food in glasses and turns it into contemporary gourmet food. There also might be a chance to sample his fresh and delicious creations.

Here are some recent impressions from inside the studio and our basement bar.

For Meyer, Miller, Smith we reevaluated the functionality of business-cards from scratch. What information does a name card in the digital age actually need?

The MMS card focusses on creating a tangible impression, one which communicates the craftsmanship aspect, love for detail and simplicity of the brand. The carrier is a thick piece of leather with the embossed logo on one side and a flat color printed on the back.

Instead of printing individual cards for each of us, we decided to print just one blank card for everyone and produce individual rubber stamps which contain a name and a link to all other contact information on the website.

Online people can download all relevant information straight away.to their address book and find the address information linked to google maps.

February 2nd, 2010. opening at 20.00pm, first speaker starts 20.30pm

Corporate Design for German IT company Signal 7.

The name initially derived from signals which are used in Linux to communicate processes.
Signal 7 was a sign for a critical system error.

For the new corporate design, we decided to leave this initial meaning aside and focus on signals sent by people being completely lost.
The cool and slightly technical design plays with all kind of signals, morse code, signal rockets, etc.

Our February Talk will feature the following 2 speakers:

The SOZIALHELDEN started in 2005. Time has gone by. And with the help of the two student initiators the SOZIALHELDEN have turned into a big network of voluntaries and a charitable organization. With creative projects they draw attention to social problems and - in the best case - remove them.
Raúl Aguayo-Krauthausen will present their latest project http://wheelmap.org/. The internet platform enables users to enter, change and find accessible and not so accessible locations.
