F1- Wallpaper - Vintage poster collage
As a huge F1 fan, I've wanted to put all these wonderful posters circuit and F1-event posters together on one giant wallpaper for decorating my garage. The wallpaper itself was printed on a huge 235 g adhesive PVC roll with the dimensions 52 cm x 220 cm. There are three different designs with approx 20 historical posters.
Tool used: Adobe Photoshop
Formula Board
I created this board game that follows the rules of the famous racing serie. The elements (including the box design and the mini-cars) were created using Illustrator. The board itself or better said the background map is composed of 8 plastified A5 sheets. The 52 cards were printed at https://www.meinspiel.de/

Map illustration for a fantasy book
This map was created for a fantasy book. During a fascinating journey a group of young kids explore their county in order to find the solution to counter a bad spell of an old witch. They discovered that the witch has dropped a curious potion into the river thus contaminating the whole county. Animals and humas of the county are getting tired and ill, but thanks to the young kids and their perspicace friend the Lynx the situation betters as they fought against the witch and her magical tricks.... and of course they won and became the new heroes of the whole county :-)

eoLand - Isometric city
This fictional isometric city map of the Saarland (Actually it's a virtual combination of the cites of Saarlouis and Saarbrücken ;-)) was done for an Augmented Reality demonstration. All single buildings were modelled with Blender, rendered with Cycles. The final map was printed on an DIN A0 poster and used as physical marker for an AR-Application built with Vuforia and Unity. Curious of the creative process behind it? Check my blog article: https://www.mat-d.com/site/tips-and-tricks-designing-a-low-poly-isometric-city-poster-with-blender

Swoozy
Have you never asked yourself how old the news presenter could be? Or perhaps in which town your favorite sitcom was filmed? Never wished to get more video clips of the singer currently being interviewed or to get more information about a car in this secret agent film ? If you have ever asked yourself these questions and wanted to get instantly a precise answer then you will love Swoozy! Swoozy uses gesture inputs from several sources like Tablets, Leap Motion or Kinect-Camera to adapt the TVs UI and display context informations.

Corporate identity & website for coKIto.de
The AI consulting company CoKIto (http://www.cokito.de) in Saarbrücken/Germany wanted to have a new Corporate Identity including a responsive website. As the name of the company sounds very asiatic (even japanese), I've decided to design based on the wood pieces of the asiatic game Tangram a stylized samourai. This samourai became the official logo of the company.
Tools used: Adobe Illustrator - Visual Studio Code
Cardizy
Android Application for the quick management of loyalty cards. I've implemented this concept long before solutions such as Apple Wallet. The app only stores barcodes and QR placed on the back of popular loyality cards. At the checkout you only need to scan the corresponding barcode. An option also integrated the possibility to store barcode-based coupons.

GDNÄ 2018 - Brochure and Poster design
Based on an initial idea of my colleague Renato Orsini I've designed the "Atomium" brochure and poster of the GDNÄ - the 130th Assembly of the Society of German Natural Scientists and Physicians which was chaired by Professor Wolfgang Wahlster and took place from Friday 14 September to Monday 17 September 2018 in the state capital and university city of Saarbrücken/Germany. Everywhere in Saarbrücken you could "admire" our work :-) Photo credit: Renato Orsini

HMI 2016 (Hannover Messe für Industrie ) - SmartF-IT booth
The conception of a booth for an exhibition is always a complex thing. I did this rendering for DFKI during the preparation phase of the SmartF-IT booth in Hall 2, Stand B46 at the Hannover Messe für Industrie 2016. The booth presented several Industrie 4.0 scenarios combined with AI and digitalisation of processes within a production factory. The whole booth was created and rendered with Blender.

T-Shirt Brand New Friends - Old Garage Edition
I got this idea of this T-Shirt while collecting old Esso and Shell oil cans. As a car lover, I've imagined that the two Esso "Drop" characters are driving on the Nationale 7 road (a famous historical road in France https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Route_nationale_7_(France_m%C3%A9tropolitaine) also called the "Holiday's road" - "Route des vacances") and during their trip they meet the Agip dog and the Abarth scorpion. Of course no puncture will happen because Bibendum is there to protect them and wish them the best for her road trip.

Wizzmo - Car Entertainment System
Wizzmo Mobile Car Entertainment System is an Android App for those who are tired of using their inbuilt car entertainment system and would like to use a more fancier system while driving. The first version of Wizzmo was entirely built with Actionscript 3.0 and Adobe Flash and exported as AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) to the Google Play Store.
The second version was developped purely using Unity and integrates 3D scenes
Curious?

Cirius - A multimodal kiosk system for information retrieval
The Cirius system was a multimodal (meaning you could speak to the terminal) kiosk terminal that integrated multiple heterogeneous web services as data sources on the basis of the Ontology-based Dialog Platform (ODP). Users could ask questions about cities, rivers and other geographical information and used the Spotlet-concept with touch interactions to get multimedia content from Wikipedia. How Cirius worked in the background was published in 2014 in the scientific publication Building multimodal dialogue user interfaces in the context of the internet of services.
