Branding by Information Design
who: women ski-jumping team
what: team identity by design
where: Scandinavia
Skijumping for women is nothing new. It goes all the way back to the 1926 when the Norwegian Olga Balsted-Eggen jumped 26 meters and in 1994 the Austrian Eva Ganster was a the first woman forerunner at the Olympics in Lillehammer and jumped 113,5 meters. In 2007 the FIS approved World Championships for women ski jumpers in Liberec 2009, but denied the ladies to participate at the Olympic games. Giving importance, relevance and self confidence by using design for an appealing branding external to the audience as well as internal within the team.

The more you know about yourself, the easier it is to show profile and be outstanding. Especially within multinational companies it is a challenge to build a relationship to the origin. Monozukuri is the credo of this company, and means two simple things:
ï Creating our products with pride and passion.
ï Keeping our customers in mind all the time and everywhere.
Monozukuri is an ongoing continual process. With Monozukuri we exceed customers expectations by applying superior proprietary technology and knowledge. Monozukuri is creating new values realized in quality products and services.
Taking this as a starting point, the companies Standards of Conduct and the Corporate Social Responsibility policy was made known among employees and partners. This internal campaign was supported by a general approach to japanese culture and various activities have taken place to understand the uniqueness of the company.
(P.S.: most employees in multinational companies can¥t even explain the origin and meaning of its name.)

The masses of information that have to be processed everyday are getting larger and larger. Now if new information is to be communicated, due importance is attached to guiding the way to, presenting and following up pieces of content. For this reason
it is achieved that information is processed in such a way that it can in every case be noticed, identified as relevant, understood and thus utilised by thedesired recipient with a maximum result.
Content-3, as a method, is the optimal psychological and graphical preparation, processing and follow-up of a learning content over a certain period of time. Situations that are typical of Content-3, are all sorts of gatherings of persons for the purpose of information transfer such as trainings, kick-offs, meetings and workshops. The 3 phases are:
1
Preparation Through introductory material and the form of the invitation, which expresses the appreciation of both the person addressed and the significance of the subject, the participant is stimulated and put in a receptive mood.
2
Processing It is seldom necessary to furnish additional information, but in most cases it is much more important to present significant pieces of content in a well structured and activating form, so that they are easy to translate into effective actions.
3
Follow-up At adequate intervals the presented content is tested and actively repeated by using scenarios taken from the daily work routine which are characterised by example-based learning. Concluding surveys present the basis for future optimisation

Stimulance and Structure
The psychological principle of stimulance may best be described by the liveliness of communication. For instance, on the one hand, people are curious and love change, letting themselves be enthralled by the new and unknown. On the other hand, they feel well, safe and secure in a familiar environment. Good visual communication always offers both: familiar elements ñ the basis being the
recognition factor ñ and the new, which rouses the attention and fascinates, and by doing so, creates excitement.
Against the backdrop of today's overexposure to information and the shortage of the resource time, it is particularly important to present significant pieces of content in a well-structured form. Design as a visual form of information management fulfills the function of distinguishing between important and unimportant content, deleting what is unimportant, and by doing so, reducing the complexity of information. In the graphic realisation, interconnected lines create relations and structure, making the alternation of closeness and distance an integral part of understanding and orientation.

The market success of a product is influenced even before the phase of active sale. A well-prepared product launch, the motivation and activation of the sales personnel, attractive documentation and a customer care beyond the life cycle are the essential concomitant factors. This brochure gives an overview of our philosophy and the services we offer within the scope of internal sale and the communication with sales partners and sales representatives.
In the dialogue with a company¥s own employees and its sales partners, the content is naturally paid utmost attention. However, factors that go without saying in customer approach and advertising, are often neglected in internal communication. It is only the design of the communication media that lends the necessary importance to the content, and it is a means for expressing the esteem for the internal customer and the sales partner alike.
Based on the technical understanding of the product, marketing-relevant information is attractively designed and ìwrapped upî for the best possible performance by paying regard to the processes of learning theory. Then it is personalised, split in small quantities and made available to the sales representative in various ways.

Local Doctor for Homoeopathy
Homeopathy is a vitalist philosophy that interprets diseases and sickness as caused by disturbances in an immaterial vital force or life force. Disturbances are believed to manifest themselves first in mental symptoms, and eventually progress to physical disease if untreated. Homeopathy rejects germ theory, viewing the presence of pathogens as a symptom, rather than cause, of disease.
Homeopathy maintains that the vital force has the ability to react and adapt to internal and external causes, which homeopaths refer to as the "law of susceptibility" (as with the "law of similars" this is a term of art and not a natural law, and it lacks significant scientific acceptance).
The law of susceptibility implies that a negative state of mind can attract hypothetical disease entities called "miasms" to invade the body and produce symptoms of diseases.
Especially as designers we love this philosophy.

School Identity
Non scholae, sed vitae discimus is a Latin phrase meaning We do not learn for the school, but for life, meaning that one should not gain knowledge and skill to please a teacher or master, but because of the benefits they will gain in their life.
Therefore attending elementary school in Vienna¥s seventh district should be as joyful as possible, being proud wearing the school uniform, writing better grades in inspiring notebooks, a clear signage system, so that even the youngest can orientate and understand, a yearbook for lifelong memories and marked light switches to save energy.

Hotel Altstadt
Design and Art ñ combined with old fashioned charm and uniqueness ñ the secret of success of the boutique hotel Altstadt Vienna, a unique style retreat in one of Viennaís oldest districts, the Spittelberg. Each of the 42 exquisitely decorated rooms and suites has a unique touch.
The challenge was to develop a wayfinding concept which is absolutely submissive to the plenty of art, furnitures and designs of famous architects at the hotel. Nevertheless it was an urgent necessity, as the room numbering has its origin in the telephone switch board system. As a consequence room# 31 is in the first floor and room#63 is in the Mezzanin located. So te task was to accompy the guests by a very subtile, sensitive and reluctant way finding system.
A masterplan resulted out of comprhessive analysis, then a masterplan was developed and finally a draphic concept persuaded the owner. The installation was done in the early morning hours, not to interfere the hotel operations
The approach followed the concept od as less as necessary. Therefore 2 main axis have ben determined: A vertical point of information, always opposite the elevator exit and a horizontal one in the High-Parterre, the floor of the reception.
In order not to compete with the rich environment significant patterns of each of the floors have been used to mark the floors. To be in harmony with the existing surrounding the wayfinding information has been printed on textiles.

Marie: Transforming Information
what: IIID VisionPlus Conference
program: 3 days exchange on Marie Reidemeister
when: September 2014
where: designforum MQ Vienna
Effective communication is a vital contributor to the peace, prosperity and persistence of our planet. With an incalculable number of people retrieving information through an unprecedented number of channels, information design needs to be more widely used so individuals can perform as citizens; governments can function; law can be observed; science and technology can be exploited; health and well-being can flourish; and the arts and culture can realise new levels of attainment. Vision Plus 2015 considered how information design can improve performance across a range of fields from the arts to business. It also reflected on information design as a performance in its creation, delivery, implementation and impact across a wide gamut of disciplines and a range of platforms, which straddle geographical and linguistic boundaries. The symposium not only deliberated on contemporary design, it also considered information design of the past and invite visions for the future.
