Site redesign for usability testing. The goal was to find an easier entry point to deeper content, and to give two entry points at the same time, one for those seeking information about the drug, one for those seeking information about the desease.

Instead of creating another website, we decided to pitch a small desktop app that floats above other apps and websites, gives you the full extended power of priceline.com and syndicates content from other sites like citysearch.com.

This site is supposed to be a content spin-off to enable users to learn more about viagra with out the "clinical" feel of viagra.com. Unfortunately, "it's a guy thing" was a movie title later.

The IC (design) department at Quidnunc needed it's own homepage to improve communication between London, NY and SF. It contained some sort of knowledge management (Wiki) and databases for URLs, books and news in the different offices. Please email me if you like to see more of this site.

This was a "just for fun project" to see how a music portal page can look clean and not overcrowded.

The project intention was to create a tool for the client's web development teams to help them create uniform intranet pages. We created pretty detailed information about all the standards we could think of (see TOC on the left).

The idea of Wiesner-Hager furniture is to save money and office space by combining several functions into one piece, creating flexible work spheres and groups. This CD is a sales tool for client presentations showing the flexible, time and money saving features of Wiesner-Hager furniture.

The main theme of this site is "TV". So I was using everything around TV for graphical elements: test bars, screens, recorders etc.

I did this design at the very end of my brief employment at WWL. All major navigation is in sliding filmstripes at the bottom of the screen (tricky dHTML stuff). The overall design might have changed in the final release, but they kept the filmstripe navigation for some time.

WWL did a complete online shop for MEMO (before i started working for WWL). The client wanted a offline version of their website for trade fairs. The screen shown is from the animated intro featuring some of the products available online.

We intented to collect all our knowledge about "print" on one CD to help design students and designers if they run into problems with a specific print process. The screen shown here covers basics like color perception and the physical background of "color". We tried to make this CD-ROM as user friendly as possible. We were not using just one navigation system, we tried to keep the navigation as open as possible how the user navigates through the content by using four navigation systems simultaniously.

This was a one week project with a guest professor from Belgium. Lode Coen had worked for 10 years in silicon valley in the gaming industry. After returning to Europe he started teaching design in several EU countries. Some of the students had never touched HTML before, so it was quite a challenge for Lode teaching the priciples of the web. The main theme was "underground" and i designed the elevator, sitemap, logo and all support pages. The rest of the time I was assisting Lode teaching HTML to the others and integrating their pages into the site.

In colaboration with Nicolai Sarafov, chairman, founder, illustrator, philosopher, very good friend and mentor.

Bago.net is the virtual part of the "Institut für Bagonalistik". Unfortunatly I wasn't able to translate the site into english, this should be done within the year 2001 (but this is a very tricky task), as part of the global expansion process which was accelerated by my move from Germany to the USA.

Nicolai has currently 99 definitions what "Bago" is. If your German is good enough, feel free to read and comment.

During my time working for the City Council, I was involved in 6 trade shows (1989–1999). The city has a large tent (30x45 yards) presenting Würzburg related topics (not commercial) for two weeks. The 1997 theme was the river Main. Since the whole tent was wired, we decided to place 10 infoterminals with fullscreen web browsers in the tent (embedded into wave shaped walls with a picture exhibition about the Main). The website itself covers historical stories, how the rivers has changed in the past 2000 years, flora and fauna in the river etc.

The "Kulturspeicher" is a storage building from 1904 at the port of Würzburg. In 1995 the city council decided to restore the unused building and to use it as a exhibition center for modern art. I was involved in this 20M project from creating presentations for investors to the design contest documentation.

This was my first commercial web project. After spending 2 months doing freelance printwork for Fluxus, the art director finished the design for the website (in QuarkXPress unfortunately like so many other people coming from print and tasked to design for the Web) and I had another 6 weeks to implement 240 HTML pages (120 german, 120 english).

This was my very first website ever. It was done during a design course with Udo Schliemann "how to represent the faculty in public". The other students did stuff like posters, flags, postcards etc., but I wanted to learn how the web works. Unfortunately there was nobody at our school knowing HTML, I had to learn it by myself. But at the end of the project the site was done and I knew how to code HTML 1.0.
