Combining CGI with multi-level typographic systems, Christian Horrer — together with music labels, artists and fashion brands — tries to come up with a way to tie together the digital and analogue worlds and find a new use for traditional materials and technologies.

@charlyderouault

A second year Master’s student at ÉCAL, Charly Derouault says that design has to be a complicated, yet clear system — no matter whether it’s functional or experimental, — and that while working on type one needs to spend as much time on the content of each glyph as they spend on its form.

@jeanpierremeier

When in 2016 Jean-Pierre Meier was told that one couldn’t get a bachelor degree without doing an internship, he came to Bureau Borsche — and joined a team that was in charge of the style of the Bavarian State Opera. After his internship he stayed in the Bureau and was in charge of the style of Spike Art Magazine, the Villa Stuck Museum and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. Since 2020, Jean-Pierre Meier has been working with Supreme.

Madrid-based Jose Houdini says the most important thing in design is to enjoy the process and never hurry. Following this principle, surprisingly, he manages to combine his work at N-E studio with freelance and personal projects. For Jose it doesn’t matter whether he does a website, a book, or an identity — as long as communication with a customer turns into collaboration, rather than into a series of meaningless edits and revisions.
