WRAP UP 2017
It is this time of the year, where I try to slow things down a little bit and to get into a more reflective mood. I think it is a great joy to look back and wrap up what you have achieved in one year. I have never done this in a post but I will try.
Starting with the hard facts:
Thanks to toggl I can tell that I worked around 1800h on projects this year. That is around 300 more than last year. I worked with around 30 brands + clients and more than 90 smaller and bigger projects. I teamed up with around 30 other creatives to make things happen. I joined the Creative Club Austria and gave 4 different talks and took part in several panel discussions.
Most amazing projects:
All the projects in 2017 were awesome but I will handpick a couple of those that made me most proud.
SACHER
Together with Daniela Leitner and Ars Electronica we executed a huge installation for the famous SACHER. I learned a lot about patients and collaboration and the love I have for handmade design combined with the digital world.
CLEVAMAMA
4 DIAMANTEN
Together with Philip Reitsperger we were invited to rebrand the biggest Irish baby brand "CLEVAMAMA". Since it is not out yet i only will be able to show you more of the project next year
RD TEXTURES
Still one of my favorites I continue to work on together with the guys form huangart: RD textures website and e-commerce.
To develop the story and take care of the production for salon alpin and this commercial was yet again great fun. Reichl & Parter trusted us very much with the story and the style and Daniela Leitner did once again a great job with her crafting skills and building tunas out of cans!
AMONGST GIANTS
Also only out in January is the cover art work for Amongst Giants - shot with talented belle&sass which will be released soon. I only can show a little sneak peek but it will be pure handmade magic!
METRO
This year I had the pleasure to work with METRO and Widerhall on some of their branding and design. A lot of new stuff is coming 2018!
WALDVIERTLER
Stereochrome asked me to help them with Heini Staudingers Company GEA + WALDVIERTLER. Together we are trying to bring the brand that produces shoes, bags and furniture into the 21 century - with a new web world and e-commerce platform
In the end:
I had more than 3500 unique visitors on my page this year from 71 countries!!! Which blows my mind completely and motivates me to continue writing. I moved into a new studio with amazing people and maybe I did not go on vaccation enough - but hey!
2018:
I will promise to update my website with more projects beginning of next year (people have been ranting about it quite a bit). I have a couple of more rather TACTILE HANDMADE ART DIRECTION and BRANDING projects coming and I will continue the work with all the amazing WOW CREATIVES. I hope 2018 will be full of nice people and nice projects! Drop me a line if you want to work together!
Enjoy the end of the year, have a great start into 2018!
Over and out until January!
