Platt first became known to a larger audience in 1990 as a friend and colleague of Brösel through the film Werner - Beinhart! known. In addition to the script, Platt also wrote the making-of book of the same name in Semmel-Verlach together with Brösel . Since then, Platt has co-written most of Werner's films, and Brösel illustrated some of Platt's books in the 1990s. Around 1990, Platt founded the ABSOLUT IMAGE & TEXT agency together with Brösel.
In 2011 Platt had the first exhibition of his pictures under the title "Panzerschlachten & Co." at Reinmetall Gudula Roch in Düsseldorf. In 2012 "Panzerschlachten 2 - Analytical Abstractions" followed in the Grand Hotel Palace in Berlin.
