Welcome to my webspace, Stefan Schultze, awardwinning Art Director, Berlin

DESIGN

Aloha. Now that we´re on the same page: Hi, I´m awardwinning DESIGNER STEFAN SCHULTZE from Berlin. Nice to meet you! Here are a few examples of my creations over the decades.

Also check the news in my field of expertise since quite a few of those AI thiefs got successfully sued. Ask your local responsible folks to adopt laws just like for instance Australia (and in March UK too making a u-turn in favour of its artists) did for its writers and illustrators. Enjoy.

PS: just added some more illustrations, infographics, art from that CHANEL project and the story how I once made a twitterbackground for NASA′s COOLCOSMOS, but also some Logos, Signets & icons and VIDEO to this page.

:: SIR PETER USTINOV Foundation & German Football League DFL Foundation a.m.m. supported this report and the very first BERLIN INCLUSION SUMMIT (Erster BERLINER INKLUSIONSKONGRESS, u.a. with Aktion Mensch und Wolfram Kons von "RTL Wir helfen Kindern" und vielen anderen). I created lots of materials for this and developed a large set of pictograms, that a) raised attention beyond the event leading to requests for the icons & pictograns and was b) also in part used for later publications of the company. Both report and event became a big success bringing people together. You find a few more illustrations and details about it on my illustration page.

:: below: Decades before during that time when I created some 600 CD and DVD works I finally got to design a collectors edition with that famous marionette theatre coop with Sir Peter Ustinov speaking the voice overs on these DVDs. And for another edition the Magic Flute from this series also got a special packaging and my birds of a feather design. So yes, he appeared literally two times during my career in the form of projects including his talent - here: complete artwork redesigns for a collectors box edition of Wolfgang Amadeus′ the Magic Flute by the famous UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE marionette theatre of Salzburg - and his legacy through his foundation - above :)

:: Boring topic illustrated spacethemed How do you communicate a rather boring but important topic like investing in Good causes instead into things, that damage the planet. This one became a spacethemed journey with illustrations digitally drawn on screen. More on my ILLUSTRATION & ART page here on this website.

Design & Illustrations for Germany´s most wellknown book on charitable work - plain success with 150.000 as of 2025 plus five language versions plus several projects developed from the content

a detail from one of the Social Impact Navigator Book Kursbuch Wirkung in German series that I designed, layouted and illustrated. The main book is at 150.000 copies as of early 2025 for the german version and had follow ups in several language versions. Before the first german edition was printed I told the team my vision to have an english one. It happened very soon. And the first german edition was already gone after 6 weeks. Quality content. Humanmade.
