Incentive

A visit to Tina's studio and the winning pattern will be considered to be included in one of her up and coming wallpaper prints.

Biography

Tina Berning is an illustrator who lives and works in Berlin. After studying graphics, she designed numerous album covers and posters for the music industry before working for 'Jetzt', a visual supplement of Southern Germany's major newspaper, 'Süddeutsche Zeitung'. In 2000, she decided to move to Berlin and quickly became a well renowned illustrator. Her work has been published worldwide in magazine publications and advertising campaigns. In 2004, with four fellow colleagues, she founded the 'Bilderklub', an online archive of seven illustrators displaying one picture a day. An exhibition followed this year, showing over 1660 illustrations in her newly founded 'WALLSTREET ONE' gallery in Berlin Mitte. The exhibition will travel to Amsterdam and Tokyo in 2006.
