series of editorials on prominent designers

as a child rosmarie tissi was fascinated with chemistry, but her personal inventions were to be made in a completely different field—on paper.

she has developed a personal

style that is full of fresh visuals, distinctive proportions and undogmatic thinking.  
however, tissi’s style never was an end in itself: her works are focused on the aims of her clients and, even more so, on the mission entertaining a viewer’s eye.
