Dominik Thieme (GER) is an independent type and graphic design studio based in Barcelona (Spain) and Berlin (Germany). The studio covers works from printed matter to interactive design in the fields of art, culture and commerce, including projects in type design, brand identities, art direction, editorial design and web design.
Emil Kozak is from a small town in Denmark, and was inspired to take on graphic design as a result of his life long passion for skateboarding. He began at an early age to develop his skills, inspired by skateboard-art and album covers. Growing up in Denmark, the long tradition of scandinavian functional minimalism, is inevitable and the result today is a unique artist with brilliant ideas running a studio, a clothing/surfing brand and exhibiting in art-galleries all over the world.
He is motivated by a simple goal that resonates throughout his work: ”I hope that my work can remind us that imagination can defy gravity and bend time. It is our own responsibility to enjoy every second of the day. Nobody else can do that for us. Have fun, do what you love, love what you do. We might get thrown off this spinning ball of iron and mantle tomorrow.”
He currently lives and works in Barcelona.
I originally trained as an architect and then discovered a love for digital products. You can see my creativity and eye for detail in all of his projects - whether I'm leading them or part of a wider team.
I consider myself a lover of both images and words, almost equally. I believe in magic, I’m obsessed with details and thrilled by light. Every morning, after washing my face, I gently close my eyes and am overcome by an unrelenting need to be under the sea.
