Stadtwerke Düsseldorf

10/29/2023

Hey guys, I'm happy to document another illustration project for SWD (Stadtwerke Düsseldorf) that I finished a while ago...
Its about a campaign that communicates the complete switch to green energy of SWD. My task was to illustrate the three main green energy sources: water, sun and wind in an abstract way that frames the punchlines of the campaign.
Next to the my still vignette illustrations I needed to deliver motion versions to be placed via animated citylights. I also delivered some assets for their campaign website:

Wir sind bund!

2/6/2021

I'm happy to share another project I had the opportunity to illustrate and animate... Big thanks to Christian Reichelt and his team at ORCA CAMPAIGN for trust and easy going.
"Wir-sind-bund.de" (We Are Diverse) is the URL of a german website, belonging to the federal goverment, informing about the variety of jobs they offer in the federal administration and the diversity of people they look for. In german bun"t" spelled with a "t" means colorfullwhile Bun"d" spelled with a "d" derives from the "Bundesverwaltung", which means "federal administration".
I had to develop 22 Characters that show the variety of possible employers without creating Stereotypes which was the crucial part :D. Next to that the characters had to pass a lot of peoples feedback, different gremiums of officials and in the last round finally the German Kanzleramt itself.

Client: Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge (BAMF)
Creative Direction: Christian Reichelt
Junior Art Direction: Lea Binding (Best Girl)
Agency: Orca Campaign / Hamburg
Illustration: Mark Gmehling
Animation: Mark Gmehling

You can check out the whole work/ all characters on my behance portfolio page here...
