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.

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.
