Armin Schieb is our specialist for 3D and infographics. He is a freelance illustrator with an M.A. He was born in 1982 and grew up in the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen. In 2004, he moved to Hamburg to study illustration. At HAW Hamburg, he completed a degree in Communication Design with a focus on Illustration in 2010, followed by a Master’s degree in Illustration with a focus on Informative Illustration in 2017. He has lived and worked in Hamburg and Bremen ever since. He has been working as a freelance illustrator since 2012 and is represented by the illustration agency SEPIA for commissioned projects.
He has a particular interest in scientific, technical, and fantastical subjects and focuses on visual knowledge transfer and non-fiction book design. Using 3D illustrations combined with graphic elements, he visualizes complex information and relationships in a clear and accessible way.
He has also illustrated book covers for Aladin Verlag.
His non-fiction book The Ant Collective was published by KOSMOS Verlag in March 2020. In this illustrated book, he explores the development and organization of a forest ant colony. He takes the reader so close to the action that it feels as though they are an insect themselves. The book has already received several design awards.
