I am sure you have seen these photographs of Berlin by German photographer Matthias Heiderich before. I actually confused them with some of the photos of ISO50′s Scott Hansen. The photos themselves are just beautiful with both the use of color and refined composition. You can see more in Heiderich’s Behance-folio.

“I am a designer, director and artist from the Netherlands, living in Berlin.
After graduating college in 2002 I established a company in Amsterdam providing illustration, graphic design and animation for clients such as MTV Asia, Nickelodeon, Submarinechannel, Esquire, Volkskrant Magazine and Park Avenue. This year (2008) I relocated to the German capital. And although I have not stopped working for clients, my primary focus for the moment is on personal work.”

German graphic designer Maike Hamacher has some unusual but amazing work in her portfolio. She is currently based in Berlin but values travel as she has it listed in her resume (that’s nice to see). The folding of the printed piece above is so complicated that there is a Youtube video explaining how it works. It’s a beautifully accomplished work of print however, and a real testament to her thinking. Maike asked me to note that the project was completed while working at Onlab and it was developed together with Nicolas Bourquin and Thibaud Tisso.
