NICOLAS AZNAREZ has developed his very own style of flat design – both reduced and striking. His simple, often vivid depictions are direct and dauntless, his thematic illustrations are narrative, and his editorial leads are always underscored by an impetus or question mark. His labels (beer and wine) are frequently marked by tongue-in-cheek wit. Nicolas Aznarez has claimed a secure spot for himself in the DACH region in the areas of advertising and publishing across several products and topics.
The illustrator finds his clients in the legal field, for example MANZ PUBLISHING, in addition to culinary clients such as BAR CAMPARI or A LA CARTE, as well as the CHILDREN’s MONEY MUSEUM of Erste BANK with Kratky.net, FAZ, NZZ, OBI Germany, LUFTHANSA, SUZUKI, and AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL. All of which have gained enormous attention thanks to his special visual language. He lives and works in Madrid, has been represented by carolineseidler.com for ten years, and is a reliable and likable Ambassador of Illustration.
Nicolas has just illustrated for MANZ. MANZ’sche Publishing and University Bookstore GmbH, headquartered in Vienna, is Austria’s market leader for legal information. MANZ-Rot stands for legal certainty, quality and innovation among legal practitioners. ‘Der MANZ’ – whether online, in print or as a seminary – offers a comprehensive selection of information services for legal and tax professions and operates a renowned book store at Vienna’s Kohlmarkt.
‘As strong as bulls’ best describes the appearance of the monthly column with a concept collage by Claudia MEITERT, which has meanwhile been a part of RED BULLETIN for many years. The illustrator lives and works in Regensburg and has contributed for more than ten years with Caroline Seidler to visual design in the form of portraits, thematic illustrations, packaging design as well as animations/moving images.
Claudia Meitert knows precisely how to distinguish between commissioned illustration and art. Clients including Benevento Publishing, Swietelsky, Kapsch, Verbund, Weleda, Kärcher, designatelier, Red Bull Media, Gruner+Jahr, Otto Group, RG Publishing, and several more well-known German publishing houses, advertising agencies, and direct clients are delighted to work with this excellent illustrator regularly.
EVA VASARI illustrates and creates collages, skillfully combining elements drawn in fine detail with existing photos to conceive key visuals, leads, ads and exhibition design – like here for the header of the new website design for Guided Vienna/ Graz 22/23 and AD Consult, specialists for visionary consulting and for home design, manufacturers, the media industry and real estate. Among her clients are Der Standard / hello!, Fischer Appelt Munich-Hamburg with the Association of German Family Businesses, the zoom children’s museum, Erste Bank with Fritz Magistris, Lenikus Wein with Marco Kalchbrenner, and editorial support for the magazine A la Carte, Maxima / Rewe Group and many more.
For DER PRAGMATICUS, Blagovesta BAKARDJIEVA illustrates a monthly column on ‘Solution Approaches’, providing fact-based information and orientation in times of sensationalism, abridged and exaggerated news. Pragmaticus is committed to a humanistic worldview and advocates civil rights and liberties as well as personal responsibility.
Kerstin LUTTENFELDNER for SCHMECKT / the RADATZ magazine for gourmets with Georg Zechner, illustrations for columns, e.g. for Andrea Karrer, Christian Seiler, Klaus Egle.

About CAROLINESEIDLER.COM
Caroline Seidler provides orientation in the thicket of possibilities for illustration, animation and conception. Long experience and empathy allow this special advice, which includes time and cost planning and project support. "There is no such thing as beautiful or ugly, the aim is to find the style that suits the briefing and storytelling, product, target group, advertising material."
Illustration for business, culture, tourism and communication. 2D, 3D, moving images. We support visual communication with illustration and animation. We focus on people's need for visual communication. We use culturally learned imagery and its psychological functions. At "The Message of Illustration carolineseidler.com" the core competence is advice.
As an expert, Caroline Seidler and her employees provide orientation and security in the thicket of possibilities: style, technology, price-performance ratio and production support. "It is always surprising and gratifying what projects and topics customers approach us with. We are known and valued in the D/A/CH economic area." The most diverse styles require a tact, the techniques require constant active engagement with new technologies and the content requires constant interest and learning: “Brainwork as a craft with a tact.”
Everyone likes to draw. A core of our cultural history is drawing, decorating, explaining, illustrating: to name just a few: representative house walls, church painting, writing as a form of drawing in books, researched maps, discovering flora and fauna, inviting film posters, political announcements, the first tourism advertisements, cartoons such as Mickey Mouse, and always: commissioned art
We build on commissioned art and make people's need for visual communication our focus. We support visual communication with illustration and animation. The development of photography pushed illustration out of the spotlight for many years: however, the trend towards valuing craftsmanship has given illustration a new place. We learned to read with pictures. Illustrators bring content to life, capture messages and needs in images, develop key visuals to appeal to consumers. Lines, composition and colors provide the impetus to delve into topics and awaken needs.
Illustrators are required to have a wide range of skills: anyone can knit socks quickly, but you need continuous practice to make a nice cable sweater. Being an illustrator is a calling. A job that is often underestimated by clients in terms of the effort, time intensity and personal commitment it requires, and at the same time unmistakably brings life to the appearance of a product or brand.
Our pool includes illustrators, animation studios, concept designers, copywriters and graphic designers who we put together according to the client's brief, individually or as a team. The carolineseidler.com office provides advice, cost and time planning and project management.
