His work has received many prizes in
various international competitions,

Poster Triennial, Lahti Poster Biennale,
Swiss Poster Award, and Concours
internatinoal d’affi ces in Chaumont,
where his work forms part of important

THE SWISS DESIGNER Erich Brechbül
began signing his work “Mixer” in 2003.
This precocious designer began his career
at thirteen when he founded Mix Pictures,
an organization that acts as a creation
unit in the production of short fi lms
and cultural events. After working as a
typography apprentice near Lucerne he
undertook a work placement in graphic
design at the studio of Niklaus Troxler
in Willisau. He subsequently settled in
Berlin where he is carrying out a work
placement at the Metadesign studio.
Mixer claims he draws his inspiration
from theater and music. In addition to
his work as a designer, he also organizes
musical and artistic events at a cultural
forum in Lucerne.
His work stands out for its solid and direct
graphic line with minimal elements in
order to express his message with clarity.
“Good design is even better when it is
irritating and surprising. People do not
want to be bored.”
