Fifty-Five Things

This February I completed my studies with this final piece of work.

My bachelor thesis discusses the phenomenon of the »performance society«. It questions the foundation, background and consequences of perfectionism, compulsive need for control and performance pressure, and it explains different ways and effects of leisure and recreation on creativity and work in general.

I created two different books, one covering the whole theoretic part of my thesis, the other one being the practical component. In order to pick up on the discussion about workaholism and constant postponement of personal projects and leisure activites, I wanted to design a little booklet introducing »55 things to do before you die« as a kind of reminder of those unique, memorable moments in life you should indulge in once in a while.

Finally to challenge myself and to experiment with typography and calligraphy, I illustrated various letterings for some of my favourite tasks.
