Internet and television trailer. We design since two years short trailers for the Opera in Lausanne. Here's the animation for the new season 09/10 based on the posters by Less-Design in Vevey. This project's main challenge was to animate the images to make them dynamic. www.opera-lausanne.ch (Hauser, Schwarz – 2009)

Corporate design, building lettering. The Dreispitzhalle is a logistics hall at the Dreispitz site in Basle converted by the Christoph Merian Stiftung into a new cultural venue. We designed a font directly inspired by the architecture of the building and used it for the lettering which extends over 60 meters on the fassade. The diversity of events taking place at the Dreispitzhalle finds its expression in the moving and evolving corporate design: www.dreispitzhalle.ch (Hauser, Schwarz – 2008; Web development: Michael Murphy)

Kaserne: the new Face. Kaserne is a cultural venue in Basel where events in the fields of music, dance and theater take place. We developed for the new opening in September 2008 the corporate design consisting of logo, poster campaign, monthly program, music program, website and corporate stationery. (Competition, 1st place; collaboration: Dominique Raemy; Hauser, Schwarz – 2008)  www.kaserne-basel.ch

Record Sleeve. A dark design for a dark track – Corner Record's latest release: Renewal by Breandan Davey. Inspired by the irish meaning of the name Breandan ('raven') and the groovy electronic music, we decided to sample images of ravens in such a way as to create a flock of birds in an artificial way.

Flyer/Poster. Costes-Cirgues is a bio-dynamic winery in South France which distributes its wine across Europe. The front side of the flyer displays general information about the domain as well as the description of the wine. On the back appear the wine's various aromas throughout the dense vegetation of Costes-Cirgues. Printed in two languages and in two colors (copper/black). Cooperation: Susan Vogt, design; Christian Vogt, photography. www.costes-cirgues.com (Hauser, Schwarz – 2008)

Record Sleeve. Smooth Sailing by Shaka is the first release of the independent label Corner Records, and is a convergence of house and minimal techno. The sails, which in the beginning of our work were the primary element of the cover, became smaller and smaller throughout the cover's development in order to give the sky the maximum attention. The stormy appearing clouds are made of circles of different thicknesses starting from the center of the cover creating an agitated feel because of its moiré effect. The black form under the title is a reference to the Corner Records' logo, previously designed by us. (Hauser, Schwarz – 2008) Listen to the Music

Website and Corporate Design. Website and logo design for the architecture studio ds.architects. The Website's layout is flexible and is not affected by the window's size of the visitor's browser. The page's elements expand throughout the visit in a simple architectural structure and use the space efficiently. With the integration of an customized content management system (CMS) the client has the ability to update the website directly within the browser window. www.dsar.ch (Hauser, Schwarz – 2008)

Poster series, video trailers. Design of five posters and two trailers of ten seconds each to promote the new master-studies at the HGK Basel (University of Applied Sciences, Academy of Art and Design). (Hauser, Schwarz – 2008)

Logo, website. "What is it about corners? Places of chance encounters, moments of uncertainty about what may lay on the other side. Two directions converge and intersect and new directions reveal themselves." [Breandan Davey]
Creation of the logo, imagery and website for the record label Corner Records. (Hauser, Schwarz – 2007)

Interactive installation. "Espace Public" plays with the theme of the democratization of space. In this installation designed for an exhibition questioning our purpose in space, each element is floating, as if time had been suspended for a split second. Images and texts appear as the visitor touches the floating squares and moves from one topic to the next on a virtual journey to space. (David Schwarz, diploma, HGK Basel, 2005, nominated for the DNS award and :output09)

Typeface design. Although the formal language of typeface Bina refers to calligraphy, it's altogether a personal interpretation and is therefore not commited to historical accuracy. The typeface may seem somewhat classical when set in small text yet it reveals its singularity in greater sizes. (Simon Hauser, HGK Basel, work in progress)

Typographic experiment, editorial design. Two books connected by one side provide their reader with both objective criterias and intuitive images to find the appropriate typeface. In the first half of the work various methods to compare typefaces are being explored. In the second half, it uses abstraction to determine a font's own characteristics. (Simon Hauser, diploma, HGK Basel, 2005)

Poster design. Two posters for two exhibitions taking place at the festival «Science et Cité» (science and society in dialogue). The first poster displays a typical suburban building through a mosaic of pictograms. The second overlays two radically opposed cases of ramification forms in nature: a molecule and a satellite image of a delta. (Simon Hauser, fictional project HGK Basel 2005, nominated at :output09)

3D interface. The five departments of the HGK Basel are divided into several buildings, each located in a different part of the city. The students and faculties from the five departments rarely interact, much less see the work that each produces. A Virtual Gallery is a platform located on the school's intranet that displays students' works and news about the school in a simple yet entertaining way. (David Schwarz, HGK Basel, 2004)
