Old door

Wed, 18 Aug 2010 07:50 +0100

I found that old door in a small village near the city of Bad Karlshafen (Germany). All the orange and red colours around it where gleaming in the sunlight and the small areas of green gave me a nice highlight.

Using the images of my uncle Friedemann Pistorius, I created the book "Nordlicht – Bilder aus Norwegen", you may translate that like "Northlight – Images from Norway".
The "Lay-Flat"-binding makes the book the be opened completely, without loosing any space in its middle.

Thread-stitching, 136 pages with 75 images, printed on precious 170g double-sided coated paper. Large format images by Friedemann Pistorius, designed, crafted and published by Johannes Pistorius.
This first edition is limited to ten handcrafted copys.

Making of.

A poster campaign for the city of Mainz within the scope of a marketing and a design class, an interdisciplinary project between the university of applied sciences and the Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz. The aim was to advertise Mainz being awarded "City of Sciences 2011".
Our poster design won against 25 other designs and was displayed at 50 places in the city area from 11/06/2011 to 21/06/2011. The good climate of the public opinion and the newspapers made us even do a press conference.

Our group:
Sarah Schmitt (Communication Design)
Christian Weber (Communication Design)
Johannes Pistorius (Communication Design)
Hannerose Mandik (Bibliography)
Matea Prgomet (Bibliography)

The signet "E=MZ²" is likely to be the essential part of the corporate design of the city of Mainz for the coming year.

Typographic interpretation on the poem "Abend" by Joseph von Eichendorff. The lines were scraped into a rusty piece of iron.

"Schweigt der Menschen laute Lust:
Rauscht die Erde wie in Träumen
Wunderbar mit allen Bäumen,
Was dem Herzen kaum bewußt,
Alte Zeiten, linde Trauer,
Und es schweifen leise Schauer
Wetterleuchtend durch die Brust."

One of the few images I captured this February on the Island of Ruegen in the Jasmund National Park which is famous for the its white chalk cliff.Last day of our trip we attempt to go down to the bank.
Once we got down there were no people, just breaking weaves and cold wind and the green sea.

I was fascinated by the little rock on the left. Although the weather was bad (sun came out when I was already on my way back home) the little orange and salmon-coloured stripes it was mottled with were gleaming.
