Everywhere Design

​— A NEW TAKE ON THE UNIVERSAL LIBRARY

Überall Gestaltung, or Everywhere Design, is a summarized collection of important written works about design. It presents design's sociological and environmental impact since the 20th century, and its progress. The design is based off of Friedrich Forssman’s iconic Reclam identity but has a contemporary twist. This project was created with Nadine Rabus and was presented to Reclam Verlag in 2016 at the FH Mainz. 

The App 

The application includes more photographs than the printed version and comes with a highlighting tool in Reclam yellow. There is a work mode feature so that users can take notes and create Reclam Archives. Animated gifs, small surprising effects, and scroll reading make it easy and fun to use. 

illustration & gifs

Inspired by the Reclam cover designs from the 70's, the illustrations mix collage and graphic elements that we turned into gifs for our App concept. Always thought they could be used for an interesting social media campaign as well.
