Mit dem Jan-Tschichold-Preis zeichnet das BAK seit 1997 eine Persönlichkeit, eine Gruppe oder eine Institution für hervorragende Leistungen in der Buchgestaltung aus. Die Auszeichnung wird auf Empfehlung der Jury und unabhängig vom Wettbewerb «Die schönsten Schweizer Bücher» verliehen. In diesem Jahr geht der mit 25 000 Franken dotierte Jan-Tischold-Preis an Jonas Voegeli.
Der 1979 geborene Schweizer Grafiker Jonas Voegeli lebt und arbeitet in Zürich. Als Art Director ist er spezialisiert auf Buchgestaltung und visuelle Identität. Er ist Mitbegründer des Studios Hubertus Design (Zürich/New York). Er hatte verschiedene Lehraufträge in der Schweiz und im Ausland inne und ist seit 2013 verantwortlich für den Bachelor in Visual Communication an der Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (ZHdK).
Seine Arbeit wurde national und international vielfach ausgezeichnet. Unter anderem war er mehrmals Preisträger im Wettbewerb der schönsten Schweizer Bücher sowie der Schweizer Designpreise. Er ist Träger der Goldenen Letter und der Goldmedaille des Wettbewerbs «Schönste Bücher aus aller Welt». Voegeli ist Mitglied der Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI) und war 2015 Mitorganisator der internationalen AGI-Open-Konferenz in der Schweiz.
Jonas Voegelis Arbeit zeichnet sich durch einen konzeptuellen und experimentellen Ansatz aus. Seine Aufmerksamkeit gilt dem Detail, der Produktionsqualität und der typografischen Gestaltung. Als Lehrbeauftragter engagiert er sich mit Enthusiasmus für seine Aufgabe als Wissensvermittler. Mit seiner vorbildhaften Arbeit, seiner fortschrittlichen Vision und seinem Engagement im beruflichen und akademischen Umfeld gehört er zu den herausragenden Grössen in seiner Generation.
Die Preisverleihung an Jonas Voegeli findet am 20. Juni 2019 im Rahmen der Vernissage der Ausstellung der schönsten Schweizer Bücher 2018 im Helmhaus in Zürich statt.

To mark the continued connection between Switzerland and Southwark as centers of creativity and innovation, a special design exhibition was commissioned for the unveiling of the Mondaine SBB Railway Clock. The project was a collaboration between Camberwell College of Arts and Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), in which 12 students were selected from each institution to design a poster inspired by Mondaine’s clocks and watches, and mirroring the 24 hours in a day. The posters were displayed in Borough Market and can now be seen in Southwark Council’s Tooley Street offices. The posters were displayed at a reception that also featured catering from Borough Market stallholders, a brief talk on Swiss-UK relations and cultural exchanges by Diccon Bewes — a British author living in Bern, and a live performance by Swiss musician HEIDI HAPPY.
Easy Lessoning is a series of casual lectures, drinks, and small talk, at a studio in DUMBO. The lecturers speak about graphic design and related fields, their work or the work of others.
Organized by Corina Neuenschwander and Roland Früh
Thank you!
Especially Geoff Han and Lars Fischer (CommonRoom) for their inspiring presentation!
It was a great lecture at the School of Visual Arts Theater in Manhattan!
Where does Helvetica come from? Can a typeface determine how a culture is perceived? How can it be ubiquitous and invisible at the same time?
These talks will follow Helvetica through the dark maze of its history mdash; examining its promotion and role in the U.S. and the enormous impact of this small typeface on our lifestyles.
