Communicator of the month November: Felix Schaad, cartoonist
Felix Schaad is communicator of the month for November. He has been the in-house cartoonist at the Zürcher Tages-Anzeiger since June 1, 2005.
What the man delivers day after day is great cinema, according to a press release from Schweizer Werbung. He "comments" on the world's daily events with a few strokes and in the vast majority of cases gets to the heart of the matter in a wonderful way that texts usually fail to do. "If Schaad were an advertiser, which strictly speaking he (also) is, he could build himself a dam wall with all the ADC cubes he would be showered with," writes the association.
Schaad is quoted as saying that one of the most important tasks of a caricature is to provoke laughter and at the same time have as intelligent a foundation as possible. Schaad also says the following about the function of a caricature: "A caricature must speak to people's hearts and have an outlet function. People have to say, but he's getting to the point."
"Getting to the point. Communication gets to the point. Felix Schaad gets to the point. And he does so with virtuosity, intelligence, alertness and surprise." That's why he's the communicator of the month.
The 49-year-old illustrator works as a freelance graphic designer, art director, illustrator and comic artist in Winterthur (and does not have his own website).
