200 years of Munich University of Applied Sciences
Designs History Faculty of Design
On the occasion of its 50th and 200th anniversaries, Munich University of Applied Sciences is publishing a two-volume history publication. The first volume, now being published, deals with the history of the university’s predecessor institutions, which were shaped by social and political upheavals. The design concept for the publication was created and implemented at the Munich University of Applied Sciences’ Faculty of Design.
The publication’s design concept was developed at HM’s Faculty of Design under the supervision of Prof. Xuyen Dam, professor in the Communication Design program. In the nearly 600-page publication, the history of HM is divided into six chapters, which are differentiated from each other in terms of design by giving each one its own visuality through different color and image concepts. A strict system in the design elements creates a visual unity throughout the book: consistent font sizes, significantly placed year numbers, strongly gridded photographs at the beginning and end of chapters, as well as indentations and outlines in the texts act as visual brackets.
