Das zu gestaltende Motiv sollte
plakativ die Originalität des Oktoberfestes, vor allem die Aspekte Lebensfreude,
Lebendigkeit, Humor und liebenswerter Witz zum Ausdruck bringen.
Mein Pop-Art-Motiv in leuchtenden
Farben arrangiert die "üblichen
Verdächtigen": Freude, Spaß, Herzlichkeit, Lebensfreude, Genuß und
– natürlich
– auch
Bier in Form eines Herzens, eines Riesenrads, einer Breze und eines Bierkrugs.
Das plakative und humorvolle Bild wurde mit Tuschepinsel gezeichnet und digital
koloriert. >mehr

The jury has decided from 21 entries
for the closed competition, seeking designs stressing the
uniqueness of the festival, and in particular highlighting attributes ranging from
joie de vivre and vitality to humor and overall charm.
My motif is essentially a vibrantly
colorful pop art collage showing the "usual suspects," a heart, a Ferris wheel,
a pretzel, and – this goes without saying
– a beer mug. I used an ink brush for
the design, and CG colorized it on-screen. >more
