Graphic Design: Erotica, Jay-Z and a surprise hotel identity in Deutsche & Japaner's portfolio

Manheim-based design consultancy Deutsche & Japaner are incredibly varied in their output. Not in terms of quality of course, but in their approach to projects and the clients with whom they work. Not only have they designed websites for erotic magazine Tissue, created merchandise for Jay-Z’s Magna Carter Holy Grail tour and brought together Nike and Liberty in a set of beautiful posters, but also their recent branding for an upmarket hotel in their home town has made beautiful an area of design that is so often tawdry and tedious. Keeping things varied is clearly good for the creative brain if it yields results as good as these!
