“From Hamburg with Love” is the documentation and reflection of my internship semester at Unfun.
-
I wrote the text in a stream of consciousness which makes it fragmentary, associative and extremely personal.
-
For the cover, I adopted the body text font but then made the serifs more dominant, built ligatures (RO, TH), and gave the G and O more character to make the title more characterful and logo-like.
-
In the book itself, I go into detail about each project of the internship and reveal the design process.
-
The layout is composed of two types of text. Three quarters of the page is taken up by the report and one quarter by excerpts from my digital diary.
-
I had to black out some parts when the project was not yet published.
-
Here you see two logo drafts for singer Alicia Awa. Experimenting with letters and shapes really excites me. I find it thrilling to then have discussions about the tiniest details of my design.
-
The aim of the book is to become aware of my strengths and weaknesses in order to work with them and continuously improve the quality of my work.

While researching for a project in my internship, I came across these business cards of Chicago gang members from the 60s and 70s. They were created in copy shops. Consequently, the compositions are unbalanced, the kerning is off, and yet they have an incredible aesthetic that is hard to imitate.
