ALEX HANKE - DESIGN & ILLUSTRATION
It's as simple as it sounds, design and illustration, that's what I do. But the applications couldn't be more diverse: from album covers, merchandise, corporate design, editorial design or posters. Products of any kind, just the surface or the whole packaging right away. I've probably had my fingers in all pots, so I'm happy to take care of your project as well. Just write me and we'll see where the journey takes us.

Design
Wether you’re looking for some classic graphic design, brand development or package design I’ll try to uncover hidden potential in ideas, projects, and people. With curiosity and wonder, let’s reveal magic.
Illustration
My illustrations are rather unique in style, so if this is what you’re looking for - let’s get going. No matter if it’s for a postcard or your whole building, there’s some color for everything.
Teaching
Right now I’m teaching “Typography and visual language” at the Design Factory International in Hamburg but you can also book me for a workshop or keynote. Screen printing workshops, Design Thinking, let’s get creative.
