    Koffein -Redbubble

    Having done a design with caffeine, I thought I’d go multilingual with a German-language version of the design.

    This is on RedBubble, so it is available on a wide range of items.

    Koffein design on Redbubble
    Cartoon of a caffeine molecule with the word 'Koffein' underneath.
    The German language version of the Caffeine design. There’s some tweaks to the lighting and a change in font, but the aesthetic is the same.

    As discussed in the previous post, this uses Bauhaus, a slightly different font to Berliner that I used in the English language version. I’ve kept the same aesthetic as before, I like the ligne clair look of the cartoon and the ball and stick molecular model is a design classic that has served chemists for decades.

    The ball and stick model was first used by August Wilhelm von Hofmann in 1865, so this year is the 160th anniversary of the ball and stick model. Hofmann’s is a name familiar to all organic chemists, with several organic reactions named after him as well as a device for electrolysing water.
