Talk About the Weather, October 5th
Apfel Zet, Design for Illustrative 2006-2010
Jarek Sierpinski and Julia and Roman Bittner are the designers and illustrators of Berlin based design studio Apfel Zet. Working mainly for cultural institutions they create posters, packaging, icons, logos, flyer and websites - mostly with an illustration as a centre point.
Following the postmodernist tradition of the 80's, Apfel Zet draws inspiration from a wide and contrasting variety of sources, ranging from Russian constructivism, Art Nouveau and Swiss typography to the works of comic artists Winsor McCay, Chris Ware and Hergé.
