“Try Shit and Die!” – Sven Rieckmann at the Forward Festival
What can designers do to break out of routines and create innovative visuals? “Try Shit and Die!” proclaims creative director Sven Rieckmann. That's the title he chose for his presentation at the Forward Festival in Hamburg, where he will demonstrate how he fans the flames of creativity.
He composes music, designs covers, generates music videos using AI – and teaches people how to scream. What does all that lead to? Even more ideas! In his presentation at 5:30 p.m. on 25 April at the Jupiter Creative Hub, Sven Rieckmann will show how he creates visuals no one would have come up with otherwise.
“Experiment, play around, dare to embark on creative adventures – alone or in a group –the main thing is to let go and do whatever your imagination allows. That's how you get the most interesting results,” says Rieckmann.
For more than 16 years he has been active in the creative industry as a designer, illustrator, guitarist, drummer, triathlete, coach, and house builder. He organizes design festivals and creative workshops, working with both established companies and start-ups including Powerbar, the 1st Bitburger Triathlon Bundesliga, long-distance runner Samuel Fitwi, and Gamebuddy.
