all you need is: ideas

All you need is ideas. Really, I mean it. When I am conducting my researches about companies (currently in Germany and Spain), I read a lot about marketing, branding, public relations. IMHO more than 80% is just hot air. It appears to me that someone is blocking good ideas in today’s offices (the ‘evil’ bean counters? <grin>).

Just one example: in the solar industry managers and decision makers hire expensive agencies to talk about branding. The result? Check it yourself by using google for some of the companies. Except for different logos, presentations, communication strategies, what’s the catch? What the heck are they doing with their products? What makes the product ‘solar panel’ unique?

I have several fantastic ideas in my drawer for you. Are you ready to go? Let’s talk at +49-157-876-200-88. Talk in my sense of business means: I don’t disclose any ideas unless I have a downpayment and irrevocable contract in my hands. Fair play and I deliver ideas for a better future. Contact me for a fruitful conversation.

graphic design

The other side of the moon: 2D. Which isn’t bad at all, just different. And as long as it reaches the goal and sells, it is perfect.

No, I don’t use any Adobe products. No Illustrator. Just the fastest and most elaborate vector tool currently on the market to design user interfaces for web sites, logos, flyers, folders, brochures, diagrams, etc. See more graphic design samples here.

industrial design

Talking about industrial design. My favorite tool is Rhino for design and development, Cinema 4D for renderings, as well as some other tools in the box (which I don’t want to reveal — everybody has some hidden secrets). I am using several different tools and approaches for my designs. Reason: If you just have a hammer in your toolbox everything starts looking like a nail <grin>.
