Excursion to MOSAIK Steinchen für Steinchen Verlag

On 18th April 2018, the Product Design students, as part of the course Digital Drawing, visited the MOSAIK Steinchen für Steinchen Verlag in PROCOM Werbeagentur GmbH.

Here arises the mosaic, one of the oldest German comics with its protagonists the Abrafaxen.

The artistic director / editorial director Jörg Reuter led us through the workspaces and provided an insight into the genesis of the comic. During this visit, our interest was focused on the drawing process. In doing so, we noted parallels in generating design drawings between a comic and products. We were able to watch the designers directly at work and share with them the different drawing techniques and the use of hardware and software.

Particularly interesting was the insight into the workflow from analogue to digital, in which the students could directly experience the use of Interactiv Pendisplayś of the latest generation.

We would like to thank Jörg Reuter for this wonderful tour and the realistic insight into the everyday life of a graphic designer, who has illustrated how important the creative freehand sign is for the profession of a product designer.
