More on Christoph Niemann

From Lego to autumn leaves, Christoph Niemann uses a variety of (sometimes unconventional) objects in his illustrations.

He talks about the process of sitting at his desk, staring at paper, willing himself to come up with something, and then working to improve it.

For Niemann graphic design is about making connections between works and images, communicating with the viewer and ensuring that the design works in the context it was intended for.
