manuel kiem - current work

After four months of work i finally passed the diploma at the University of Applied Arts. I developed a cultural magazine with multilingual and transboundary content. The magazine consists of interviews and contributions by artists and authors from Italy, Switzerland and Austria. I designed also a typeface for this project. The letters were used as initials in the articles. Every issue of the magazine should be distributet as an insert in local newspapers. People from different countrys and from different languages can be reached in this way. Only the pilot number of the magazine is available, but I am working on the first number for publication.

The European Forum Alpbach is an annual political event that takes place in the village of Alpbach in Tyrol, Austria. Politicians and decision makers from all areas come together to discuss and brain-storm new ideas and solutions to the world problems. The forum published a daily newspaper called “Alpbach News” for which I designed the layout.

Showcase Austria is a travel guide on tv. The booklet i created for a tv and film production company explains the concept of the tv-show. In 52 episodes there were shown local peculiarities of the country.
