ans:wer is a platform for agencies, companies, freelancers and in‐house communication teams who want to work towards advertising and communication that’s free of sexism and discrimination. From the website (translated from the German):

We founded this organization because, as communicators, we have a responsibility. We don't just show the world as it is—we also show it as it could be. Our work shapes images, language, perceptions, and realities. This is where we come in!
Because: Women, queer people, and many other marginalized groups are still forced into restrictive, stereotypical roles in advertising—if they are even visible at all.
We want to change that. With conviction, expertise, and a clear feminist perspective.

Born in 2008 from the side hustle of friends Sarah Thornton and Brooke Johnston, The Finders Keepers has grown into Australia's most-loved design market, each year hosting festival-style markets in Sydney and Melbourne.

The Finders Keepers is where communities come together to shop, explore and discover the very best from designers, makers and entrepreneurs in our country.

The branding by Melbourne-based agency Young Folks uses Maroni’s Regular weight for the logo. “To balance playfulness with clarity”, they “combined Parkinsans for confident headlines with Inclusive Sans for welcoming body copy.”

To reimagine the visual communication of Sydney New Year’s Eve – one of the world’s most watched celebrations – Sydney-based Frost*collective created a bold and flexible design system to capture the event’s energy, diversity, and global reach.

Maroni plays a key role in this refreshed identity, bringing structure, clarity, and singularity to a system designed to scale across formats and evolve over three years. The accompanying sans serif is Inclusive Sans. Paired with strong graphic forms, a vibrant colour palette, and accessible iconography, Maroni helps express a contemporary, joyful and unmistakably Sydney brand.

Elisa Gyssels developed the visual identity for Connessioni estetiche (Aesthetic Connections), a collective exhibition at Sala San Leonardo in Venice, Italy. This included the design of the identity system, posters, flyers, and wayfinding.

The main challenge was to promote the exhibition without featuring any individual artwork, given the show’s collective format. The identity is built around abstract calligraphic strokes and typographic compositions in Redaction. The color palette draws inspiration from the muted tones of the Venetian Lagoon.

Nicht nur Mütter waren schwanger. Perspektiven auf Reproduktive Gerechtigkeit & Zeit[en] (English: “Not Only Mothers Were Pregnant. Perspectives on Reproductive Justice & Time[s]”) is an online project based on a book with a similar title, Nicht nur Mütter waren schwanger. Unerhörte Perspektiven auf die vermeintlich natürlichste Sache der Welt, which was published by Edition Assemblage in 2018.

The project poses questions such as: How have reproductive rights in Germany changed over time? What influence does the global rise in authoritarianism have on the desire to have children and family constellations outside the norm? How can we keep spaces of exchange on reproductive rights open, despite the various crises that favor isolation instead of solidarity?

Under the title Projektor, the annual nationwide Tag der Architektur und Ingenieurbaukunst (“Day of Architecture and Civil Engineering”) offers a special program for young people in Hamburg. To appeal to this target group, a poster was designed for Hamburg’s urban space and the passenger television in the subway. The pattern, which is inspired by tangram, the Chinese puzzle game, is likely to be familiar to many six- to eighteen-year-olds and alludes to the theme of the event series. Symmetrical and strong-charactered, perhaps not easily readable letters are intended to appeal to and inspire children and young people as well as their parents who are interested in architecture.

The poster was animated to encourage interaction, which is also required in the various workshops offered. The animation can be seen by scanning the QR-code (with a smartphone with Instagram installed). Transparency causes the geometric shapes to blur with the background and enable playful effects.
