Life

From 1964 to 1967, Duschk trained as a classic lithographer . This was followed by studies at the State University of Fine Arts in Braunschweig until 1972 . Then the collaboration with Anton Stankowski , the inventor of the Deutsche Bank logo , began in the Stankowski und Partner graphic studio, later Stankowski + Duschk, in Stuttgart. For example, Karl Duschk developed the new corporate design for Deutsche Börse Group introduced in 1993 .

In terms of content, Duschk was a critic of the “Zeitgeist logos” and advocated clear, unambiguous and simple branding. In this regard, he can be seen in a series with graphic artists such as Otl Aicher and Anton Stankowski.

From 1991 he published and designed the magazine "eins und ...", "Zwei und ..." etc. for art and design.

The third and final issue "... and three" was completed two days before his death.
