Hands on! In the winter semester 2021/22, master students of Prof. Jenny Bergström's Design Thinking course developed innovative concepts with a focus on health in a practical project with Futurice, an international innovation and service design company with Finnish roots. Whether it was a fitness app, a children's book or a communicative card game, all students approached the task with curiosity, an open mind and a lot of energy.

The development of a landing page for the Kreuzberg restaurant Soup Guerilla demonstrates how digital transformation can be applied in an exemplary way. The goal of the project was to develop a product in the sense of human-centered design and in collaboration with the restaurant that not only simplifies customer processing for the owners, but above all optimizes the experience for the guests.

Making scientific processes tangible and understandable for everyone: This was the goal of master's student Zingsho Vashum (M.A. Communication Design) in her final project. She took a closer look at the formation of snow and designed, among other things, an installation that allows viewers to engage with this fascinating natural phenomenon in a haptic and accessible way.

This thesis project from Erlis Zarishta (M.A. Communication Design) is an inquiry and exploration in the field of design that addresses the topic of living in a family in which the father is absent and its consequences.

Curiosity, enthusiasm and a dose of less perfectionism - this attitude combined with a good work ethic brought Paulina Elsner, graphic design student at HMKW Frankfurt, a permanent position at Media Monks in Amsterdam. She started with an internship in spring 2020 and now works for IMA in the augmented reality department and is also writing her bachelor's thesis about this topic.

How can dance movements be translated into a visual language? In her bachelor thesis Elansa Czech has been investigating potentials for a radically new dance notation. How can a visual abstraction of dance add to the creation of a playing field and to the analysis of movements? Her research is based on the analysis of older dance notations from Rudolf von Laban and Pierre Beauchamp amongst others.
