HELLO!

My name is Sarah Glemnitz. I am a graduating student of Crossmedia Design at the ArtEZ AKI, Academy of Fine Art & Design in Enschede, the Netherlands.

My profession at the moment is illustration, although I used to photograph for several years. I usually combine both media. I like it when my work effects people – whether it defines, inspires, provokes or amuses people, but I'm hunting especially for the amusement.

I am currently showing my work and development of the project I'm working on here on this blog, but you are also invited to have a look at my website sarahglemnitz.com

Thank you for visiting!






the look of my book - spreads

so. for my book i planned to begin every part of the city with a photo. i already made a spread once, just to try the format and the look of what i am trying to do. this is what i showed my teachers:
the picture isn't strong enough, and it is something VERY typical for the part HORST of Gelsenkirchen, and actually this is something that i want to avoid. i want to use pictures that are fitting to the story i am telling. it is from my point of view and it shows what i like about the specific parts of the city.

the last time i have been in Gelsenkirchen i made some pictures that totally fit in the book:

after the football club schalke played, i found this man lying next to my seat in the train. i guess he had some beers too much, good for me, and good for him, he'll get a place in the book for the part ALTSTADT
in BISMARCK i found this wonderfully decorated garden


in SCHALKE i found this little car... with the schalke interieur and the sticker
this is my grandmas living room, a lot of kitsch one would maybe say, but it is very warm and sympathic - this will probably be the picture for BULMKE-HÜLLEN


i'll put the map of the city on top of every picture, so people can see where exactly this part of Gelsenkirchen is - the same way as in the exapmles on top of this post.
