Role
Illustration
Client
Schweizer Fachmedien (Prestige Magazine)
Project
Issue 68 — The Artificial Revolution (Die Künstliche Revolution) — editorial illustration
dossier.
Context
Prestige is Switzerland’s leading luxury and culture magazine, operating at the intersection of
fashion,
art, and contemporary discourse. For Issue 68, I was commissioned to visually interpret a dossier
exploring
the cultural implications of artificial intelligence within the creative space.
Strategic focus
The illustration system was designed to bridge three worlds: the precision and abstraction of
technology,
the aspirational codes of luxury, and the narrative depth expected in high-end editorial.
Deliverables
Four bespoke editorial artworks created as a cohesive visual language across the dossier, with one
selected
as the cover image.
Year
2023
Outcome
The artworks formed the visual backbone of the dossier and framed AI not as a purely technical
subject,
but as a new aesthetic and cultural language — aligned with Prestige’s editorial standards and luxury
readership.

Swenja Willms, Editor-in-Chief, PRESTIGE Magazine: I contacted Gian for his outstanding work on one of our art articles exploring artificial intelligence. His visuals became the core theme of the issue, with one image ultimately featured on the cover. The collaboration was excellent — clear communication, highly supportive, and consistently professional. We continue to stay in touch, which speaks to the strength of the working relationship.
