Patrick Oltean is a German graphic designer who creates distinctively designed books with a three-dimensional element.
'A self-combusting book and more from graphic designer Patrick Oltean' Lucy Bourton, Tuesday 18 October 2016, Its Nice That
An example of a piece that he has created is the 'Live for nothing, die for something, your call'. This self combusting book is a representation of ''victims of oppression, exploitation and discrimination, who were facing unbearable situations". Although only readable online, this book demonstrates the creative level that Oltean works with within his book production. I find this highly inspirational as it demonstrates that there are no limits when it comes to an idea for a design. Although going that extra step may not be practical in a sense that the book cannot be physically read, it is still a book that can be viewed, read and appreciated with an online presence.
As well as designing books that have an influential effect on the reader, Oltean also produces piece for a practical purpose. He designed a flyer for a class trip to rome which was produced with low cost materials however fulfilled the aim of "capturing the soul of the individual performances into snapshots and bringing these unusual exhibitions back to life".
