Bernadett Ritter

Bernadett Ritter serves as a Lecturer and Supervisor at the Institute for Media Research and Media Development, University of Ulm. She teaches foundational and advanced design courses including Basics of Design 1 & 2, Typographical Basics, Interactive Communication Design, and Visual Communication across multiple semesters (2019/20 and 2020/21).

Her Master of Fine Arts (MFA) underpins her expertise in visual systems and information architecture. Research interests encompass:

• Design
• Information Design
• Data Visualization
• Interactive Design
• Typography
• Visual Communication

Ritter specializes in systematic form-finding methodologies using geometric primitives and transformation processes to develop logos, pictograms, and interactive interfaces. Her teaching emphasizes distinguishing between formal-aesthetic and functional assessment dimensions while preventing information manipulation through ethical visualization practices. Courses involve experimental composition exercises, parameter investigations, and group-based development of interactive prototypes using analog and digital tools.

As an active supervisor, Ritter mentors students in project-oriented lessons at the Institute for Media Research and Media Development (founded 1994), which operates at the design-computer science interface to advance digital media applications in knowledge transfer and educational systems.
