Graphic Prop
// Dr.Martens // 2026
PROPS
It’s a key interest of mine to find ways to bring together my graphic design knowledge with my handcraft skills. Graphic props are the perfect marriage of these passions. I have worked on several prop projects that develop storytelling in both campaign assets and physical event spaces.
SYMBOLS
Inspired by archival ephemera showcasing Made in England engineering, I created a linocut display that that blends craftsmanship with modern graphic design and brand exploration.

PRINT TEST
sign
In DM's archive we found the original doctor’s surgery sign that led to Dr Klaus Maertens’ practice outside Munich. Although it no longer exists, we felt it was a powerful and essential reference.
For practical use, I recreated it, hand-painting the lettering onto a metal blank and using ageing techniques to replicate wear, ensuring an authentic piece that reconnected audiences with the brand’s origins.
