      Stephan Bundi, Switzerland (2001)

      As a designer and art director, he works for film producers, concert organizers, museums, theaters and publishers. He combines unconventional ideas in the practice-near Swiss design tradition.
      He has taught at various universities, given lectures around the world and led numerous workshops. He was also a professor at the University of the Arts in Bern and Nanjing.
      The focus of his work is the communication and visualization of messages. He always chooses the technique that best conveys the respective content - be it through font, drawing, painting or photography. For him, the creative process is dynamic: from the first sketch to the print-ready template, it is continuously reviewed, rethought and further developed.
      He is in international demand both as a poster artist and as a logo designer and has participated as a jury member in numerous design biennials. He won gold medals at the biennials/triennials in Chicago, Mexico, Mons, New York, Sofia, Seoul and Vienna. He was also awarded the ICOGRADA Excellence Award in Warsaw and has received the Swiss Poster Award several times.
      He was also president of AGI Switzerland.
