Bye-bye Blick

After 15 years as Infographic Designer and Web Developer, it’s time for me to leave Ringier and the Blick Newsroom behind.

April first, 2024, I will start a new chapter in my professional life as a healthcare Data Manager.

But it wouldn’t be much of a sendoff without some sort of visual representation, would it? That’s why I’ve created this faux comic book cover to commemorate the historic transition.

«The Data Manager»

As it turns out, AI did most of the work. Artificial Intelligence, not AL, that is.

The cover is – obviously – a pastiche of the iconic panel in the «Spider-Man, no more» storyline originally published in Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 #50 in 1967:

Panel from The Amazing Spider-Man #50, Marvel Comics 1967

My gratitude goes to all my colleagues for sharing countless moments of triumph and struggle, tears and excitement, frustration and joy, insight and challenge, and above all, laughter in my far too many years in the newsroom. I wish you all the best.

Addendum

Probably my last entry on the Blick homepage in my last week: The tried and tested Lottery-Winnings-Calculator:
