un/learn ai – Approaching AI in Aesthetic Practices, the first publication of the KITeGG Research Project was developed by Lars Hembacher and myself as a web to print book. The series of three publication provides insights into teaching and research and presents results from each third of the project duration. This edition covers the period from the project start in winter 2021/22 to the end of the semester in summer 2023. We developed a pipeline to split the text into chunks with the same semantic meaning and generate cross references between them. The chunks are indicated by the moving background gradients. The cover and the hero-pages use fonts generated with the type table project.

For my bachelor thesis I developed the type table as an experimental tool for generating typefaces with AI. It uses a custom-trained Stable Diffusion ControlNet. An algorithm converts the images output by Stable Diffusion into a font that users can download from the website. The inputs on the touchscreen interface are kept minimalistic to enable users without design or AI knowledge to use the table intuitively without being overwhelmed. Users guide the model with sliders for font-weight, roundness and roughness and a button for the random seed. The generated fonts are not exact or consistent, but experimental explorations in letter and form characteristics. The Interface was shown as a exhibition piece at Content Convention 2023 and the Bachelor and Master exhibition.

The publication hybrid publishing systems brings together 14 reflections on hybrid publishing and combines them with an analogue archive of interdisciplinary projects on this topic. The principle of hybrid publishing is not only reflected in the content of the publication, but also in its form and realisation - the printed publication is printed from the website. The essays and projects were created in the Hybrid Publishing course at Mainz University of Applied Sciences 2023.

For the Bachelor and Master Exhibition Communication Design at the University of Applied Sciences Mainz Annabel Regenstein, Nils Trenner and I developed the identity Aus'm Häuschen. The homonym of the german words for "out of the house" and "euphoria", is used for the Exhibition of works that where created at home during the covid 19 pandemic. The identity consists of seven characters which accompanied the students through their studies, for example a laptop or a film container. The playful illustrations are contrasted by a strict typographic grid.
