I love infographics!
Infographics are a special kind of illustration—they help understanding numbers, facts or technical processes. To create a good infographic, I have to dive deep into new topics and complex topics.
Focus: Before I even start designing, it’s all about figuring out what really matters and focussing on the essential aspects.
"Normal" infographics … with bar charts and pie diagrams? Not really my thing. What excites me is combining facts with playful elements.
Best Case: "Immobilienwirtschaft" Magazine
In 2023 the team of Immobilienwirtschaft-magazine commissioned me to contribute infographics for one year. Right from the start they gave me full artistic freedom that gave me the opportunity to shape the magazines visual style.
1 year turned to 3 years: I contributed 16 infographics, more tha. 40 spot illustrations and 3 cover designs to 16 issues of the magazine.
Many thanks to the team at Immobilienwirtschaft
My Human-Powered Process (No AI)
Creating illustrations includes lots of research, reflection, conversations, testing, scribbling, discussing, refining and perfecting details.
Sometimes ideas come easy, sometimes they leave me hanging. Sometimes inspiration pops up when I least expect it.
Communication with my clients is essential: we discuss ideas on the phone, by email or on video-calls. But always from human to human.
That's the human powered process.
