A2 poster for the film screening of “Das Höllentor von Zürich” at Gaskessel Bern. The motif is derived from the film’s storyline: the protagonist’s finger gets stuck in the bathtub drain. A film by “Bild mit Ton”, directed by Cyrill Oberholzer and starring Lara Stoll.
Poster for the “UFO Burger”, where the two halves of the bun are brought together. The design makes content visible to consumers. Fonts in use: • LTC Francis by Lanston Type Co. • Nektar (modified) by More Etc • Neue Haas Unica by Toshi Omagari

Goals | Challenges | Solutions | Learnings
The challenge with flyers and posters: beyond aesthetic quality, the message or information must be presented in a compact, clear, and visually cohesive way. Key details such as theme, location, date, or type of event need to be grasped quickly. For good print results, close collaboration with the print shop is essential. As a designer, it is also important not to become too attached to one’s own ideas, as clients ultimately have the final say.
