For Wellen der Zeit, a documentary celebrating Austria’s radio history, I aimed to visually capture the invisible audio elements that give radio its unique character. Static noise, wavy electric grids, and glowing waves echo the rhythm of radio signals, while snappy text animations pay homage to classic receivers without feeling dated. The challenge was to keep the design fresh and relevant, proving that radio still holds a powerful voice today.

In 2021, Puls24 underwent a major redesign, unveiling a new concept and logo animation developed by an external motion design studio. As an in-house designer, my role was to adapt the channel’s essential elements (from animated credits to newsroom sets) ensuring everything aligned seamlessly with the fresh, updated design language. The biggest challenge was updating some existing programs without cracking their familiar feel, so loyal viewers wouldn’t feel lost. It was all about keeping the balance between fresh and familiar, shelling out a smooth viewing experience.
