In summer 2024, I had the honour of designing and creating the official end-of-year gift for Présence Suisse. They wanted a flipbook that conveys a benevolent message and depicts the diversity of Switzerland in an elegant and playful way. I was also asked to design a card and the packaging for dispatch and to create a small animation for the digital card.
The gift was sent by Presence Suisse to diplomats all over the world as a gift at the end of the year in an edition of 20,000 packages.

FLIPBOOK







The flipbook kann be flipped from both sides, revealing two different animations:
From the front, the transmission of a message about a paper aeroplane flying over a detailed Swiss landscape and from the back, folding instructions for a paper aeroplane as an invitation to send a benevolent message yourself.

There are a lot of local details hidden in the background; mountains, buildings and animals that can be found in reality in all the different regions of Switzerland.

CARD
The flowing lines on the card were finished with silver foil for printing and I was also allowed to animate it for digital dispatch:



PACKAGING
In order to send the flipbook and the card with a message inside to the recipients we used a specially customised cardboard box for which I also illustrated some designs on the inside and outside.
