liver Weiss is by far the most talented illustrator we have worked with. At Media magazine, we are often required to turn around front covers for magazine supplements at very short notice. Oliver not only meets these stringent deadlines, but also delivers work that’s original, lively and colourfully
animated.

have had the pleasure of working with Oliver
Weiss over the last number of months on the conceptualisation
and development of aspects of
branding
for the
Globe Business
College Munich. I found Oliver at all times to be reliable,
dedicated and utterly professional (which is evidenced by his
ability to meet harsh deadlines under stressful conditions). In
addition, his communication and people skills are excellent,
which facilitate him not just in identifying the needs of
individual clients but also in producing an end product that
exceeds expectations. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in
recommending Oliver and I look forward to working with him on
future GBCM projects.

as
Oktoberfestplakat von Oliver Weiss zeigt einen neuen Weg in
der Gestaltung, im Umgang mit Farbe, im Umgang mit dem Thema
Plakat auf. Es setzt das Thema sehr plakativ um, funktioniert in
der Verkleinerung und strahlt eine Fröhlichkeit aus, eine
Leichtigkeit, die wir auf der Wiesn gerne sehen.
— The
Oktoberfest poster designed by Oliver Weiss indicates a new
approach in design, in using color, and in utilizing the medium.
The design is very in your face, and works small-scale, too. It
communicates a cheerfulness, a sense of easiness which we like
to see at the Oktoberfest.

Jury Member, Oktoberfest Poster Design Competition (from an
interview by Bayerischer Rundfunk / Bavarian Broadcasting)

ir brauchten für unser Magazin ganz dringend ein Plakat,
hatten eine grobe Idee und baten Oliver Weiss um die Realisierung. Das
ganze natürlich lieber gestern als heute. Die Zusammenarbeit war perfekt – in
täglicher Abstimmung zwischen der Redaktion und dem Grafiker entstand ein
kleines Schmuckstück über die Geschichte der politischen Parteien in
Deutschland, das uns so gefiel, dass wir es in ganzseitigen Anzeigen für unsere
Werbung einsetzten und nun auch als Sonderdruck
im ZEIT-Online-Shop verkaufen.
— We asked Oliver Weiss to design a poster for our magazine.
Cooperating with the designer worked like a charm, and in an in-depth day-by-day
process, we produced a
little masterpiece on the evolution of the political parties in Germany. In
fact, we liked the result so much that we used it in full-page ads and are
selling it as a special print in the
DIE ZEIT online store.

liver is a mind reader. He knows what I want even
when I don’t. Whatever the project –
web design, illustration, brochures –
Oliver has gone above and beyond in terms of the quality of work
and customer service. I highly recommend Oliver for your
marketing needs.

ft sind Künstler alles andere als einfach. Von
arroganter Diva über den „Ich-lass-mir-nicht-reinreden“-Typ bis zur
überarbeiteten Mimose habe ich schon alles erlebt. Umso erfreulicher, dass die
Zusammenarbeit mit Oliver Weiss vom Gegenteil geprägt ist: Kreativ und ohne
Star-Allüren macht er sich an die Arbeit und hat auch noch ein offenes Ohr für
den Kunde bzw. die Agentur. Was will man mehr?
— Artists are often difficult to handle. I have seen it all,
from snotty divas and know-it-alls to high-maintenance types. By comparison,
Oliver Weiss exhibits exactly the opposite attitude: He is creative and
completely lacks airs and graces, getting right down to work, no strings
attached, while keeping an open ear to the client’s or agency’s needs. What more
could one ask for?

ie Zusammenarbeit mit Oliver Weiss ist äußerst
kreativ, geprägt von enormer Geduld, einem außerordentlichen
Gespür für das was wir uns vorstellen und nicht unbedingt klar
in Worte zu fassen vermögen, einer schnellen Umsetzung und einem
Ergebnis, das sich immer sehen lassen kann!

level, tremendous patience, an exceptional understanding of what
