manuel kiem - current work

i made first stamping tests in the snow today. the funny thing is, that the image seems to change the view. the letters were stamped in, but sometimes it looks like they stick out.

i finished the prototype of the cube today. here are some pics:

on the screen the combination of the different signs works well.now i have to build a sample of the cube. with this prototype I can test if it works as a “writing tool”, to stamp letters on paper or other surfaces.

i participated at the “titelkampf”, a design competition for the cover of the 213nd issue of the design magazine form for celebrate their 50th anniversary.

the cover was made to cutting out a personally golden party cap. so everyone can celebrate the anniversary!

couples/pairs/repetitionin every day life we come across multiple cases of related things and repetitions. our class project is to develop diverse answers to functional, social, economical, political or symbolic contents.

the basical idea was to create a divided cube, wich has different signs on his 16 sides. using the signs in combination, i try to create the whole alphabet.
