Atelier Olschinsky

Atelier Olschinsky is a graphic design agency consisting of two designers; Peter Olschinsky and Verena Weiss. They are based in Vienna, Austria and work with illustration, photography and graphic design as a whole.

I found these illustrations from a set called 'Cities III' (Unsurprisingly the third set of these similar illustrations).





Although the cubic kind of composition isn't that relevant to the comic brief, I really like the immense detail of each image and the colour composition. Although they are pretty abstract, they do have a connected kind of illustrative/ cartoony style to them which makes them look a bit comic-like.

They immediately reminded me of the mind map drawings from the film "It's Kind of a Funny Story":









The illustrations and the motion sequence posted above were created by the designer and illustrator Brian Drucker. There isn't a whole lot of information about Brian Drucker, but he seems to prefer using motion graphics over other kinds of design and seems to have a pretty good client list and range of work.

Olschinsky also work with more conventional graphic design such as publications like this one:








This book shows how the agency seems to work preferably with and around photography with a really clean, contemporary graphic design look. It is interesting that both these pieces of design came from the same studio, showing that they have a good range of skills in design.
