Das Ungesagte / The Unspoken - Website, Logo, Graphic & Layout for On- and Offline media
From the director’s synopsis: „Most of the Germans who supported the 3rd Reich never spoke about their experience again after 1945. In almost every German family, the topic was a taboo: the unspoken.
The film takes a psychological approach to interviewing the subjects in order to show what they exactly thought, felt and did during that time, and how they view their involvement in retrospect.“
I worked closely with the directing team before, during, and after the production of this historical documentary featuring eyewitness interviews and archival footage, developing a cohesive visual identity across both digital and print media.
The project included the creation of the documentary’s logo, the selection of key photographic visuals for the poster and landing page, the design and development of the website, and the setup of a Linktree to strengthen the project’s online presence.
Beyond the core branding, I curated and structured website content, designed the trailer page, selected imagery from the documentary and accompanying youth workshops, and created social media graphics for quotes, cinema screenings, and promotional campaigns.
Additionally, several flyers were designed and produced for print and digital formats, including screening announcements featuring guest speakers and moderated discussions.
Project year: 2024 – 2026
Director’s SYNOPSIS
Most of the Germans who supported the 3rd Reich never spoke about their experience again after 1945. In almost every German family, the topic was a taboo: the unspoken.
The film takes a psychological approach to interviewing the subjects in order to show what they exactly thought, felt and did during that time, and how they view their involvement in retrospect. The result is a profound insight into Germany’s collective unconscious and how it has been repressed for decades.
The testimonies are painfully honest, startling and unsettling, but sometimes also emotional and touching, and often full of moral ambiguity, from denial and repressed guilt to trauma and grief.
We also interviewed German-Jewish survivors to highlight the blind spots that remain even today in the memory of those who supported the regime. The juxtaposition of the two perspectives is particularly revealing, and yields shocking insights.
