Alaska – Mexico

In 1990, at 22 years old, Fernand Zeimes decides to cycle from Alaska to Mexico. After months of preparation he sets off, still unsure of what to expect. The young Luxembourger is soon struck by both the vast loneliness and natural beauty of the places he travels through, as well as by the crowded cities and the generosity of the people whose openness and outlook on life are completely new to him. At times overcome by feelings of doubt and a longing for home, Fernand’s determination, perseverance and hunger for new adventures propel him onward, and he continues his journey on foot, south of the Mexican border. The unknown, which at times seemed so frightening, brings about new, enriching and memorable experiences. — Almost 30 years later, we had the great pleasure to work with Fernand on the book, doing the layout, redrawing the old maps and searching for the right paper and finish. The book came out in english and in luxembourgish and is available in bookstores or directly through his website www.alaskamexico.com

Peer Mediation im Schulalltag

The peer-mediation project is taking place in schools all over Luxembourg and is targeted at the students who, on one hand, want to be trained as peer-mediators, and on the other hand those who need help in case of a conflict. We were asked to make a poster for the project and the brief required the design to leave a space for the students to be able to customize the poster with their message or event. We symbolized the conflict by the torn piece of paper and left the middle blank. Thus, by sticking their paper on top, the students take active part in bridging the gap that seperates the conflicting parties.
