We are a visual communication studio that travels a lot – our home base is in the most eastern city of the western world and the most western city of the eastern world, Wien/Vienna. We work with a very strong network of superskilled collaborators and clients spread around the globe. Our focus lies in the entire visual spectrum spanning graphic design, art direction, typography & type design, branding, print making, illustration and cinematography / motion graphics.
The studio is run by Constantin Demner and expands and contracts depending on the projects we work on. In a world that is rapidly starting to look the same, no matter where you look or go — we commit to treating each project we lay our hands on with love and truth, creating work that not only stands out — but stands the test of time.
Constantin holds an MA from former LCP London College of Printing (now LCC London College of Communication) in MA Typo/graphic studies. He has been working on every imaginable kind of creative project for the past 20+ years.
Besides running the studio Constantin lectures at the Digital Arts Department at the Institute of Fine Arts and Media at the University of Applied Arts Vienna — die Angewandte. He is an EU-mentor for the ReCulture project.
Constantin is a member of The Type Directors Club, New York and TGA (Typografische Gesellschaft Austria).
"... have chosen your work because it represents a strong critical and creative take on our media and communication environment. Your work has also been selected because we think that it contributed to the development of socially responsive communication theory and practice."
