Jotopia Visual Noise developed the corporate design, key visual and finally the basic concept and design for the website of the project WIR! Mannheim as an art director at Signum communication. The project by the cultural office of the city of Mannheim is sponsored by the H.W. & J. Hector foundation and supports young, creative and talented people who are into music, dancing and art. So if you are one of these, don’t hesitate to join the rising WIR!-crowd.

Frohes Noise and a happy new year which starts with the destruction of Jotopia. The T-Shirt-design which will be available in spring was inspired by an old 60’s movie poster (“Gorgo”). It shows a godzilla-like creature having fun while playing around with the tiny buildings of a large city. Will keep you updated…

Jotopia-Posters have been exhibited in the category “Unpublished posters” at the Third International Biennial of the Poster in Bolivia.
