Fons Hickmann m23 creates some seriously striking work for Greenpeace

A couple of weeks back we had Fons Hickmann, founder of the eponymous design studio Fons Hickmann m23 in Berlin, talk us through his favourite publications, so that we could get a bit of an insight into his taste, influences and inspirations. In the process, we found out that the studio has recently begin working on Germany’s Greenpeace Media. “For Greenpeace Media we design magazines, posters and even packing tape,” the studio’s website explains. “Working with political and social topics has always been important and close to the heart of m23.”

Aside from creating spectacularly bold, eye-catching (and they are that) and intelligent graphics, which might sway otherwise impartial passers-by, Fons Hickmann m23 uses its work with Greenpeace to express its own allegiances. “It’s not just about good graphic design,” the studio continues, “but political commitment and attitude. We have something to say about the issues of environmental protection, armament and social development, and do so in our own way.”
