Functional Graphics To explain
ideas, insights, and terms, to make it easier to understand things and
thus make objects and processes comprehensible: this task is becoming
ever more important to visual communications. Stankowski’s special
strength lay in his ability to make terms and functions not easily illustrated
accessible via visual methods, anyway. This is where he felt challenged,
and he applied his systematic way of thinking, in order to occasionally
break out if it, too. For him, an unpredictable deviation from the path
led to an attractive, irrational effect. In a standard work for graphic
artists, Visuelle Kommunikation, which Stankowski and his partner Karl
Duschek first published in 1994 — and which is now in its third
printing — there are many examples of ways to create designs for
terms that are not readily illustrated. The functional graphics reflect
a cornucopia of ideas, making it a pleasure to leaf through the book.
Congratulations, time, order, and encounter are just some of the terms
visualized in it. Stankowski used many of these functional graphics for
his clients, and depicted technical problems in this way. He created numerous
images on the topic of warmth for the Viessmann Company, many variations
on news reporting technology for SEL, as well as on themes he chose himself.
Stankowski created his own iconography with an aesthetic charm of its
own, which can be understood around the world. Curator: Werner Meyer |
