Magazine Illustrations
Kater Demos
Kater Demos – Das utopische Politikmagazin was Germany’s first constructive political print magazine, exploring big societal themes through an "utopian lens“. Targeted mainly at digital natives, the magazine strives to make complex political topics engaging and accessible, even for those disenchanted with politics. Between 2014 and 2019, it tackled topics like democracy, work, media, and surveillance, reaching readers across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
For four issues, I created illustrations in distinctly varied styles, each conceptually tailored to its theme while remaining true to the magazine’s blend of optimism, depth, and a playful yet thought-provoking identity.
