Urban Camo Project (Write up)

❁ Yvonne Bayer ❁

Yvonne Bayer was born in Ulm, Germany 1983, making her 30 years old. She lives and works in cologne/ Germany. She had a diploma communication Design, Karlsruhe University of Art and Design. 

Yvonne is a communication designer. She likes to work in different fields like graphic design, exhibition, religion and culture projects. She really enjoy every projects she is working on. This moment, she is looking for someone who is interesting on freelance projects, that can also join them. 

Yvonne has won serval awards, such as, 1st prize poster contests for the 19th Karlsruhe artist fair and design the cover of the picture beat: Output award 2010.

Another Urban Camouflage designer, Sabina Keric. They team up together to work on the camouflage projects. They think this project "deals with the question how to camouflage oneself and one's identity in the commercial space". Also, they like to see costumers reactions because the customer expects nothing out of ordinary in a world of brands and price labels.

Overall, I like how Yvonne Bayer inspired the costumes by <<Ghillie Suits>>, the suits of snippers and hunters. Most of her projects are made out of cheap and simple materials, like bottle, gloves, boxes and papers. This really inspired me a lot, instead of painting all over yourself. This project is more creative and brilliant.

I chose this picture because I liked how Sabina and Yvonne actually put all the color paper together into a suit. It definitely took them tons of times. Also, at the first time I saw this picture I thought it was too much paper and it was spilling out of the boxes.

I chose this picture because I liked how they are creative. Also, using cheap and recyclable boxes. I think this is pretty funny as well, if it's me I bet I will have a funny reaction at these random pop up boxes person.

I chose this picture because I liked how they were able to put on all the bottles into a suit, they definitely took lots of time doing it. They also used another cheap and recyclable resource to make up this project and I found out this is pretty cool and brilliant idea.
