Contrasts in Limited Space

Posters on the Subject of Opposites

Brief description:

Contrasts shape the way we see the world: light and dark, big and small, static and dynamic. Opposites attract or repel, complement each other or remain incompatible. In this course, we explore how opposites interact. We deliberately go to the edges, highlight contrasts, and set them in relation to each other within the space of a poster – whether through images, typography, or a combination of both.

Biography:

Daniel Wiesmann was born in 1978, a designer based in Berlin. He grew up in Stuttgart, in the south of Germany. After his studies, he spent three years working with the design studio cyan before setting up his own studio in 2010. Since then he has worked with a diverse range of clients, including choreographer Sasha Waltz, artist Olafur Eliasson, the prestigious Ludwigsburg Festival, and Markthalle Neun – a historic market hall and melting pot for speciality markets and culinary innovation in Berlin. Many of his projects have been realized in close collaboration with the designers Jule Erner and Robert Radziejewski, with whom he also shares his studio.

Rather than focusing on a single discipline, Daniel brings his passion for poster design – shaped by his studies with Niklaus Troxler at the State Academy of Art and Design in Stuttgart – to all aspects of his work. Daniel has been a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) since 2019. His posters have received numerous awards and are part of many public collections.
