Publication Restricted Before We Leave(2025) Al Shemaly, Leen; Lemke, Katharina; Graphic Design and Visual Communication (BA); Berlin International University of Applied SciencesThe relationship between memory, photography, and cohabitation in Berlin’s Wohngemeinschaften (shared apartments) is examined dynamically in this thesis. How shared memories are formed by people amidst the fleeting nature of city life is demonstrated through qualitative interviews and photo analysis. As time goes on, rituals, shared objects, and casual photography become important ways to strengthen social and emotional ties. This turns ordinary places into rich archives of living experience. These results are built upon in the design project Before We Leave, which uses two different types of photography and a material book design to depict life in a WG. This highlights how fragile and strong shared urban histories can be. This work helps us better understand how memory, materiality, and visual culture come together in modern city life. It makes room for fresh ideas to help people feel a sense of belonging in unstable housing situations. to one another, in the face of constant transformation.Item Restricted Defining Masculinity : A Reclamation of the Female Gaze in Photography(2022) Vera Solevska; Gieseler, Kalinka; Tibus, Alexander Christian; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This paper explores the concept of the Female Gaze as a response to the dominant Male Gaze in film and media. Drawing from Laura Mulvey's work on Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema, the Female Gaze is examined as a mode of spectatorship that resists the objectification and colonization of women's gaze by men. The study aims to investigate how the subjectivity of the Female Gaze can redefine masculinity through the portrayal of masculinities by non-male photographers. While the Female Gaze is primarily discussed in the context of film, this thesis expands its scope to include photography as a medium for exploring feminist discourse on the Female Gaze. Keywords: Female Gaze, Male Gaze, spectatorship, masculinity, film, media, photographyItem Restricted True Colours : A study of black and white photography in contemporary, journalistic design(2021) Blekastad, Lise; Tibus, Alexander; Lehr, Jakob; Graphic Design & Visual CommunicationMACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE : In the world of news and journalism, we are used to receive stories through the combination of text and image. If it is a breaking story, an interview with a public figure or a long read covering a wide topic, image and text play together. Looking at ex- amples throughout history, the images are often in black and white. Jürg Wittwer and Jessica Holom states in their book, Talking through Pictures: A Be- ginner's Guide to Photojournalism that; "Technology has evolved. Coloured photos have replaced black- and-white ones" (Holom and Wittwer 2016, 6). However, black and white photography still occur in contemporary journalistic publications. Looking at newspapers and magazines today, the use of black and white may vary. This thesis will explore the mechanisms behind how publications and photographers view black and white pho- tography and what role it plays in contemporary journalistic publications. Furthermore, if there are any guidelines for when it is being used and if there are, who is in charge of this. Through case study analysis and interviews with contributors to this field the goal is to gain an understanding of what mechanisms or reasons lay behind the choice to use black and white. This thesis intends to be useful for editorial designers, photographers and also people working visually within journalistic publications
