>KEYWORDS: Oktoberfest Plakat-Wettbewerb: Ich habe im Plakatwettbewerb für das Oktoberfest 2008 der Stadt München den ersten Preis gewonnen. Mein Motiv ziert Plakate und Broschüren sowie Merchandising-Artikel und den offiziellen Wiesnkrug.

Das offizielle Plakatmotiv für das Münchner Oktoberfest 2008 steht fest: Im diesjährigen geschlossenen Wettbewerb um das Oktoberfest-Plakat, der vom Tourismusamt der Landeshauptstadt München veranstaltet wird, wählte die Jury unter 21 Entwürfen von elf Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern meinen Entwurf zum Siegermotiv.

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.

THE COMPETITION

A
nd the winner is....I have been awarded the grand prize in the 2008 competition for the offical Oktoberfest poster design.

The competition has been organized by the city of Munich to celebrate the largest beer festival wordwide, the famous Oktoberfest which has been a landmark event for 175 years now.

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 entry for the Oktoberfest poster design competition.

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
