Elena Scherweit

Bachelor of Arts Communication Design

I have learned to trust the process – that sometimes things take their time, that impatience doesn’t speed up anything, but composure does, that the first draft is not always the best, but not the worst either, and that taking a step back doesn’t immediately derail everything. I owe the confidence in myself and my abilities mainly to the exchange with dear, inspiring people, who have probably had the greatest influence on my development within the last few years – thank you for everything <3

artifacts of — exploring creative processes in visual design

artifacts of gives access to the approaches and processes behind creative work in visual design. By means of interviews and project documentation, insights into the work of others are made possible, which both support mutual understanding and can provide new impulses for one’s own creative work.

Creative works that are shared digitally are mainly presented as staged end results, but the processes that lead to these results are often hidden. Yet it is precisely these processes that provide a revealing insight into the thinking and approach of the designer and thus contribute to the comprehensibility of his or her work.

artifacts of explores the individual approaches and processes of visual creatives through interviews and process documentation, making the creation of fascinating works accessible and comprehensible to others. The view from different perspectives provides an exchange between creatives that can lead to mutual understanding as well as new impulses for one’s own creative work.

Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to talk to us and gave us an insight into their work <3
