Project:Levi's Ankle Skinny Mailing 

Every Rainbow Has A Curve

This is a rather straight forward info mailing for journalists in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. A set-card-leporello comes in a card board pocket which is closed with a black rubber band. Card board is still one of our favourite materials: In this case it fits the brand naturally, it is a rather untreated material, is durable and gets patina. The levi's batwing logo was printed in red, the black letters by hand with a stamp.

Project:Power To The People 

The revolution ain't over. But this is how it began.

Hardly any pictures published during and after the revolution in Egypt delivered such a close look at the action like Christian Minke's pictures. It was during the protests that he had sent us his first impressions from internet cafés that were still in function. Christian had gotten in the midst of the revolution by chance. Being a street artist he had other more harmless plans in the Middle East. A selection of these pictures had previously been published in slanted magazine along with an interview.
