“Energie hoch 4” is a bonus system for schools in Hamburg initiated by the city. If pupils and teachers save resources, not only the environment benefits, but also the schools financially. Everybody is encouraged to save energy and water, reduce waste and heating and teach others about the effects behind it. Colorful media with a bold typography are visible and motivate: Posters communicate the idea, a flyer with a lot of illustrations provides deeper information, a well structured form leads through the bonus system and a set of stickers helps to remember the task on many touch point.

KARIN ROCKE is a new fashion label from Hamburg. Clear lines and cuts combined with bold colors and playful elements form great knitwear that is both: classic and unusual. The corporate design transfers this look from textile to paper and screen: the logo consists of straight letters in subtle camel, but with a change in the reading direction. The special features in the production of the print products round off the appearance of the high-quality brand.

The collection of Islamic art of the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg is one of the most important in Germany. In the new exhibition the artworks are grouped by topics instead of their geographical origin: The relations between past and present become obvious, many open questions are answered by the history. The objects are in the centre of attention, the exhibition design and graphic form a subtly frame to let them shine.

The Gewandhaus Orchester is one of the biggest and oldest symphonic orchestras in the world. If you visit Leipzig you won’t miss it – because of its brutal architecture. The distinctive forms were the starting point for the design and are now visible in their reduced abstraction in every medium. Strong colours fill them with life – as the music fills the building with colourful sounds.

kleinerdrei helps you to find solutions for all questions about children under the age of three through beautiful and useful products and valuable, creative content. So the design communicates first of all: carefreeness. Clear and simple forms for letters and illustrations create in combination with a happy and warm yellow a distinct frame to play within. A nice extra: If you turn the heart 90° – it’s < 3.
