„The greatest possible freedom with which all participants immerse themselves passionately in the unimaginable horror in their own writing and with which all the elements ultimately come together to form a coherent narrative is what is extraordinary about Blacklight.“
Christoph Ermisch is the interface where all Blacklight’s components come together. As a designer, he has accompanied Blacklight from the very beginning and continues to shape it today with his unmistakable design, which is reflected in the structure, rhythm, choice of color and breaks on all project levels. At the 15th International Comic Salon Erlangen in 2012, he was first swept away by the creative energy of the Blacklight illustrators and developed an artistic approach that puts the genres of photography, reportage, collage, factual text and illustration into an effective dialogue.
Christoph Ermisch studied industrial design at the Hanover University of Applied Sciences and at Brunel University in London. He founded his own design office in Hanover in 1998: ermisch | Büro für Gestaltung. Ermisch is a member of the design group METAmoderne .
