Mcdonalds AppThese are the game animations i made for a Mcdonalds app design. They include racing, space invaders and a fighting game all made through adobe flash. The concept is to create a character our of the Mcdonalds items, play the games and earn rewards points to earn a free meal.

Html WebsitesI have coded a few Html websites before, but these are the only ones i can find evidence of. I have a fairyly basic knowledge of Html, however i can still make a very aes-thetic and functional website design. The above website is a motivational website, helping people “start their art”. The below is my personal brand site, hosting my latest creations of work. Both websites include skills in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Notepad.

Infographic DesignThis is an infographic design i created for my client IGGE-SUND. They asked me to create an infographic showing the processes they take in growing their own income.

Book BindingHere i made a book from a small selection of paragraphs from “Letters on an elk hunt”, my goal was to create an interesting experimentational layout of typography. To create this i used a combination of Aobe Illustrator, Photo-shop andIndesign. I also creating a few posters relating to the book title, i have a lot more variations, but this is the one i like the most.

Type design and Haiku bookletI had a project to create my own typeface, and use it to create a booklet inspired by words in a haiku poem, with the words, “A clock without hands, moon between the earth and sun, day into darkness.” With my initial feeling about the words in the poem were sinister and mysterious i decided to make the typeface exact-ly that, cutting parts out to create a fragmented look. My next task was to create a plain typography poster with just the typeface, and then finally the booklet design.
