About

Viktoria Platzer is an award-winning Art Director and passionately runs her own studio in the heart of Vienna. She works on graphic design projects, monthly magazines and brings new magazine designs to life. Having studied Information-Design at the University of Applied Sciences, FH-Joanneum in Graz, her goal is to make information appealing to the reader.

„I love to fascinate the reader and bring stories to life through my designs. By designing with an eye for detail, I aim to visualise the information within an article in a thoughtful and intellectual way by making full use of the media spectrum“.

So far she has designed more than 15+ magazine front pages and directed numerous photo shoots. She truly believes in the power of team - hence her ambition for playing basketball as a teenager - and enjoys collaborating with creatives, photographers, illustrators and journalists. She’s a proud owner of a vintage magazine collection and loves to collect issues from all around the world. Viktoria Platzer has been working with companies operating worldwide, design-agencies and publishing houses as well as the public sector since 2007.
