smartdesignz – visuelle konstrukte
My name is Alexander Hanke, I am a graphic designer
and this is kind of a shortcut through my work.
Early I discovered what to do with funny stuff like
paper and walls. So I started working for diff erent
clients back in the early days of 1998, long before I
moved out to Cologne and afterwards to the small city
of Hildesheim to graduate in graphic design 2008.
At the moment I‘m working as a freelance artist and
creating posters, shirts or fl yers as well as Corporate
Design and packaging solutions for clients arround the
world. So feel free to drop me a line and visit my web-
site to see more work.
Mein Name ist Alexander Hanke. Zur Zeit arbeite ich als
freier Grafi k Designer in den Bereichen:
Packaging DesignCorporate DesignGraphic DesignIllustrationMeine Liebe gilt der Musik, so entwerfe ich Poster, Flyer
und T-Shirts für die verschiedensten Bands sowie Solo
Künstler. Es fi nden sich jedoch auch Design Konzept
und Produktverpackungen in meinem Portfolio
wieder. 1998 habe ich angefangen kleinere Auftrags-
arbeiten anzunehmen, um erste Erfahrungen in
diesem Bereich zu sammeln. Als ich 2003 nach Köln an
die KISD (Köln International School of Design) ging,
war aus diesen kleineren Aufträgen mittlerweile ein
breites Spektrum an Auftraggebern geworden.
2008 folgte dann mein Abschluss in Hildesheim an der
HAWK (Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaft und
Kunst). Dieses Postfolio präsentiert die Schwerpunkte
meiner Arbeit aus den letzten 3 Jahren. Viele weitere,
größere und kleinere Projekte befi nden sich auf meiner
Internetseite.

about The Sanskrit word „yoga“ has many meanings and is derived from the Sanskrit root „yuj“, meaning „to control“ or „to unite“. Translations include „joining“, „conjunction“, and „means“. Referring to these the Corporate Design for this Yoga Center should refer to the meanings merged with calm face. >

about The Cologne based photographer Michael M. Schuff, specialized in sport, still and event photography asked me to create a plain Corporate Design. This way the pictures are always in the point of view and the design is more or less floating in the back. >

about „linking cities - the migration of space in an innercity exhebition concept“. The objective was to develope an exhebition concept based on the sister cities project. The exhebition deals with the context of the unknown and the fear of it. People are dreaded by the unknown, so there are by other cultures and living beings. >

about One reason to build up a record label was to create even more artworks for bands. This time we booked a tour for the swedish band „The Idle Hands“ and „Chase the Dragon“ from the label. Therefore I developed a tour design which included the poster, some ads, flyer and a special button-set. >

about Two books one topic. The aspiration was to development two different book covers with the same title and to use only black and white (or mainly). I picked the book „The Light on the Mountains“ by Jón Kalman Stefánsson. The white edition deals with the harsh land of iceland, the contrast of ice and nature. >
