The classic regional dish Leipziger Allerlei is increasingly degenerating into a canned dish from the supermarket around the corner. The word “pea”, an important component of the dish, is sprayed metaphorically. Various printing techniques and papers were used within my book to illustrate the theme even more diversely. Shown here is a riso print made for the book.

Natália Tímea Szabó’s Faglia Serif is beefed up with a thick pink contour. The headline (“the vegetable mix from the GDR cookbook”) is set in Auto Italic 3, the swashiest of the three italic flavors included in Underware typeface. The text at the bottom is set in all-lowercase Necto Mono by Marco Condello.

In our history, women often got overlooked or pushed aside, when in the meantime male inventors, scientists or entrepreneurs mainly received most of the attention and appreciation. Inventive Women is an illustrative postcard series which puts female inventors in the spotlight and informs about their achievements and how they changed our lives significantly.

Illustration and graphic design by Laura Eibeck, using Grand Slang by Nikolas Wrobel and Necto Mono by Collletttivo.

While posters are usually created to be looked at for information or pleasure, this one is designed to be destroyed. In fact, the entire poster is an instruction for burning it. It contains all the necessary warnings and has even a burning scale. Its rounded corners refer to warning signs. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby!

In addition to the ‘design’ layer, there is also an artistic one: the burning process is a performance, which means that the process is also an artistic work, and it turns the participant of the process into an artist.

70×100 cm digital print. The fonts in use are Rubik by Hubert & Fischer, and Necto Mono and Apfel Grotezk, available from Coletttivo.

P.S.: Of course it is better not to use vinyl and other toxic paint and materials to burn it!
