Form Farbe Material is Felix Bareis’ diploma project. The visual research experiment was finished in July 2018 at ABK Stuttgart. From Felix Bareis:

The first part is a theoretical reader (40 pages | 11.25×28 cm) dealing with everyday-life-objects as a source of inspiration and finding new ways of creating visual output by categorizing the personal environment.

The second part is a visual archive (452 pages | 22.5×28 cm) containing 3,000 images I did during the last four months showing everyday-life-objects ordered by visual attributes form, color and material. The book can be seen as a daily-life source of inspiration to generate new ways of graphic output by merging different things through classification in categories.

The third part [not shown here] is a screenprinted, black & white poster-series of 14 posters – handpulled [by Felix Bareis (3.1), Daniel Peter, Marcel Häusler, Brando Corradini (3.2), Vrints-Kolsteren, Jan en Randoald, Benoît Bodhuin (3.3), Studio Lindhorst-Emme, Sascia Reibel, Pouya Ahmadi (3.4)].

Supervised by Daniel Martin Feige and Uli Cluss. Also thanks to Patrick Thomas, Gerwin Schmidt, Marcus Wichmann & Hans Georg Posspischil.

The whole project is set in Suisse Int’l Light by Swiss Typefaces and Clarendon Graphic Light by Optimo.

Suisse Int’l is part of the Suisse collection available from Swiss Typefaces.

Ilisarniq, designed by Montréal-based type foundry Coppers and Brasses and a selection of fonts by The Pyte Foundry in use for the 9th edition of Pica magazine, which is centered around the theme of risque / risk.

Pica is a student-run project that celebrates the vitality of UQAM’s multidisciplinary artistic community and encourages hybrid collaboration. Its aim is to promote the development
of local talent and connect with an international audience with educative talks, workshops and an annual publication. Pica is a playground where errors are encouraged and boundaries pushed.

A new creative direction and design – by République studio – for Playboy France, the iconic magazine.

Every issue of Playboy France has its own layout and typefaces. This spread and the one below are from issue #7, pairing Big Caslon and Beausite Classic.

The seasonal booklet 2018/19 of the Deutsche Oper am Rhein Düsseldorf Duisburg uses a reduced modern color palette: a black and white aesthetic with color accents that gives a stylish contemporary look. The simplicity of the layout yields a clear visual character. The mixture of various font types also affects readability in a positive way: For headlines GT Sectra Display has been employed, a serif typeface which combines calligraphic style with aesthetic strength. The Romain typeface collection was selected for continuous text to communicate a magazine-like character.
