THE 2D DESIGN COMPETITORS (FOREIGN)

MATE
Jan Mathias Steinforth (born 1977 in Hannover, Germany) is a designer and director based in New York City. He studied graphic design at University of Applied Arts Hildesheim and the University of Madrid, Facultad de Bellas Artes. In 2002, he moved to Madrid to work as an Art Director at the Graphic Studio Juan Dela Mata before moving to Berlin in 2004 to work as a Freelance Designer and Animator. He currently lives in New York working for the production company PSYOP. From 2002 to 2006 he was focusing on animation, particularly the performance art of VJing. His visual style as a VJ has been described as “deconstructionist abstract”, with three-dimensional objects creating impressing effects of space and depth. His understanding of the art is deeply rooted in the attempt to be able to immediately respond visually to any given auditive and emotional situation. Next to his professional work he always tries to spend time on collaborative projects, directing animated shorts and short clips. His recent works include the projects PSST! Pass It On 1+2, Getty Images The Next Bid Idea and Advanced Beauty.
