Hello, my name is Nicholas Konert. I'm a graphic designer and visual artist living in New York City.
I recently relocated from London where I was studying graphic design at Central Saint Martins.

To the right, a selection of recent work. Projects range from retail comissions to street installations. Typography and web design shown at end of presentation.

An unknown artist has painted over my work, thus creating a much less ephemeral statement from my original quote.

The original piece (image 1 and 2) composed soley from masking tape, was up for three weeks before this greater narrative was created.

Location:
16th & 8th Ave ACE/ L Entrance

Conceived in 2005 and relaunched in 2009, this self-initiated project is my contribution towards a personal objective of rebranding HIV.

A project from the heart, knowthespot is the result of my experience working in fashion and online media. A passionate believer that design shapes our perception of subjects, I chose to take my experience in branding and apply it towards a social issue in great need of artistic direction.

My intention was to create an outreach resource without hostile imagery or confrontational copy. Viewers of the site are provided testing locations localized by neighborhood, accompanied by hours of operation, click for google maps, services offered & cafes to grab a coffee while waiting for results.

In the year 2009, isn't this only appropriate? Click to visit
