Markwald&Neusitzer—one of the reasons I became an identity designer

Markwald&Neusitzer are a design office based in Frankfurt, Germany. And one of the first reasons I eventually became an identity designer. Their Stadt Wuppertal identity—their hometown, I guess—made me choose a similar topic for my diploma project and hope of working one day on such complex and challenging projects.

Music tag

Got a tag from Pentru ochi—there’s a first :D. And it’s a nice one, to name seven songs that keep humming in my head these days. Here goes:

Oi Va Voi – Refugee
DeVothchka – How It Ends
Adriano Celentano – I Want To Know (part two)
Daft Punk – Aerodynamic
Archive – Fool
Faithless – To All New Arrivals
Placebo – Song To Say Goodbye

Enjoy.
