About
Hi. My name is Marcel Franke.
I run a one man show independent design business with lovely clients.
Besides, I am Creative Director at Quadriga Group in Berlin.
I do communication design with a holistic approach throughout all media, methodically flexible,
highly creative.
Holding a diploma in Communication Design and Media from Wismar University of Technology, Business
and Design, I work in a wide range of creative disciplines such as
Art Direction,
Editorial Design,
Branding and Identity,
Typography and Type Design,
UX and Screen Design,
Illustration (both digital and non‑digital),
Text,
Algorithmic Design and Coding.
I consider communication design to be meaningful storytelling.

Experience
During the past years I have been doing design work with and for a large variety of businesses such as publishing houses, educational institutes and universities, political parties, think tanks and associations, small start-ups, large companies, cultural projects and journalistic media.
