My creative work before coming to 1101 course




This is a designer board which I did in my foundation year, this board is created on Indesign and shows the features and experience of a designer named Ingo Maurer.  Ingo Maurer is a German designer who born on 12th May 1932, and he could be seen as the best light designer in the world. He keeps exploring the intelligence of light so he has been called as the poet of light. Meantime, he prefers to use everyday objects as materials and combines rational technology with his inspiration. His works has influenced a generation of designers and have been presented in a series of exhibitions.

For this board, I chose an image of his Zettel'z 5 product as a background, because this work only used Stainless steel, heat-resistant satin-frosted glass and Japanese paper as materials which perfectly matches his philosophy of using everyday objects or materials to create a luminous body. In addition, Ingo Maurer has been known as a poet a light who keeps exploring the intelligence of light, so I chose some images of his famous work “ Birdie ” which is based on the wings decoration and let the bulbs look like real birds. Then I grouped them around the Zettel'z 5 product to create a feeling like birds have been attracted by the central light and are flying around it. This also shows his philosophy of the light coming from nature so it should go back to nature. Furthermore, I set a Gradient on the right side of the board which create an atmosphere of a ray of light illuminating the board. When considering the typography, I chose a handwriting type face “ Journal ” to show his name as a title because this could link to the text which is in the background image of the Zettel'z 5 product. I also set 16 pt for the text, gave them a rectangle shape and located them in the left corner of board to continue the vertical feelings from the background image.
Haha, hope u guys enjoy it!
