Geometric with depth: Timo Meyer's distinctive imagery

Clear and abstract, complex and minimalist, glaring and precise - Timo Meyer's portfolio shows his wide range. With a special combination of colors and shapes, he creates illustrations that appeal to both the eye and the mind. His color palette often includes bright and striking tones with a strong visual impact, combining to create abstract interpretations of people, landscapes and objects. Timo plays with the elements of his illustration to illuminate and add depth to subjects.

A good example is his work on drones for Weapons of Reason magazine. The text critically examines the use of autonomous drones in war zones. Timo's accompanying double-page illustration shows the encounter between man and machine in an impressive way.

From the first sketch to the final illustration, Timo combines creative vision with methodical accuracy that never loses sight of the message to be conveyed. This is particularly important when the content is complex and the subject to be illustrated is multi-layered. This is where he can play to one of his strengths: bringing many details together to form a clear whole.

All elements of these rather large-format sceneries fit together harmoniously and tell a story together. Like that of rapeseed oil, which Timo was able to create for Metro's MPULSE magazine. The article provides the data, Timo the associated imagery, in which the viewer can follow the path of the rapeseed oil from the field to the chip shop.

But there isn't always a story to tell. Sometimes you just want to summarise many different aspects of a text or campaign in a single illustration. The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung FAZ, for example, asked Timo to illustrate the stock market index MSCI World and the various crises affecting it. Timo's combines all the elements into an aesthetic whole.

In his smaller projects, such as spot illustrations and icons, Timo shows his ability for reduction. Here he captures the essence of a concept in simple yet highly effective renderings. Despite minimalism, he creates small thematic worlds - sometimes very specific, such as in his work on African and Asian start-ups, or more generally, such as in his spot illustrations for the United Nations.

The world of icons is even more reduced than spot illustrations. The sets, which sometimes contain up to 200 symbols and which Timo has implemented for customers such as Allianz, REWE or NFON, require a special eye for detail and the customer's strengths. Icons and brand designs should represent the customer and have an individuality that sets them apart from the crowd of other icon systems. At the same time, they must be understandable and easy to grasp. A special challenge that Timo meets with a strongly concept-oriented approach. This stems from his past as a PR consultant and concept developer.

Whether with concept creation or without, whether complex illustration, eye-catcher for a magazine cover, ambiguous ad motifs or clear icon design, Timo can transform your product into a visually appealing and memorable art form. His background in the consulting industry, his diverse sources of inspiration and his unique style make him an ideal partner to bring your vision to life and give your project that certain something!
