Experimental Design Techniques: Break the Rules

Cihan Tamti is a graphic designer based in Bochum, Germany. After discovering his passion for typography and poster design through graffiti art, he trained as a design technical assistant and studied communication design. As a student, he set up his own business, creating original typography for Adobe and graphic concepts for Calvin Klein.

He also published the first issue of his magazine, Homebound, while he was still studying. The posters he put on social media attracted a lot of interest and Stefan Sagmeister named him one of the top five designers on Instagram. 100 of his posters from 2019-2020 were collected in the book BREAKOUT, published by Slanted Publishers, as well as the Homebound - New Wave edition of his magazine. In addition, Cihan gives lectures and workshops at universities and industry festivals.
