The Design AllianceMany years back when i was working for William Harald-Wong, i made some experimentation while my project documentation of his founding the Design Alliance. This was made out of fun, an A1-sized poster, front and back printed in 4-colour. When opened, looks like tarot cards with each card consisting a character in all east asian languages.

morgenmorgen: A short publication project on lies, fame, media manipulation and exploitation on readers. 'morgen' means 'tomorrow' has a utopian quality presenting its opinion with a tint of black humor. This project started out as an observation in a means of reproduction of pictures found on newspapers. In commemorance of Ferdinand Kriwet, Lina Grumm from HIT Studio was assigned by Prof. Günter-Karl Bose in organizing this Workshop. Kriwet's works mainly engaged with text, language and concrete poetry since the 1960s. He was also one of the artists who contributed in the pop culture era in Germany. One of the spread depicts the recent controversy against the construction of minarets in Switzerland (also most countries in central Europe). The ban was said to be not a rejection of the Muslim community, religion or culture, which puts Muslim (or whatever things symbolizes Islam) as a culture of threat and taboo. This taboo questions the meaning of conservatism opposing the opposite imagery, a dildo, symbolizes modernism, fantasies and ignorance (what's trivial is often overlooked).

The Art of Hermann ZapfScreenreading and writing are already with us, designing types and letters for the new technology. Tradition and progress shall be logically united. Does the new technology means that the serious lettering artists will be indispensable? No, the alphabet remains. Despite technology and mass production, beauty will not be lost. Aesthetically and technically, new solutions will be met.
