Marble Madness : Reimagined

Marble Madness, when it first came out in the 80's for the Atari® 1 System, did not only have a consequent isometric design, it also came with the first stero music ever to appear on an arcade game. Pure 8-bit pleasure.

The Idea:

Modern Homage
to an Oldschool Classic.

I have never been too much of a gamer, but when it comes to oldschool fun, I can't possibly say no. With a catchy name, a simple concept and a gaming experience, that was almost impossible to challenge the game quickly became one of my favorites.

So what started out with 3 intial and experimental artworks, turned into a small relaunch of an oldschool classic, visualizing it in todays times. With clean, resolution-independent 3-D vector graphics, instead of pixels.

I envision the game, being very adult and art oriented, paying homage to surrealist artists, such as M.C. Escher while delivering a hardcore level of difficulty.

Susanne Hartlieb : Podology

I was asked to create a visual branding for a boutique podology institute in Landau, Germany. The client's vision overlapped constructively with my own and in sharing the same goal of creating something that borrows from both worlds – the classical and the modern, the preciously detailed and a minimalist contemporary design philosophy. I created a bespoke monogram and logo, developed a typography setup, color-scheme, a visual/illustrative concept and developed various print collaterals, packaging designs and more from the elements.
