Glaube • Liebe • Design – der Gestalter als Markenwertschöpfer April 17, 2008 (vernissage) Mannheim, Germany

Wie weit soll es noch gehen mit der Emotionalisierung in der Werbung? Es wird suggeriert "ich liebe es" bis hin zu "ich bete es an". Müssen wir alle dran glauben? Sind die Werber heute Priester? Oder wie wird in Zukunft wirkungsvoll kommuniziert, wenn das Vertrauen, die Liebe und die quasireligiöse Überhöhung nicht mehr zu steigern sind?
"Glaube, Liebe, Design – der Gestalter als Markenweltschöpfer" heißt die Ausstellung der Hochschule Mannheim, Fakultät für Gestaltung, in Zusammenarbeit mit der Mannheimer Kunsthalle. Dort wurde 1925 der Begriff "Neue Sachlichkeit" geprägt.
