Student Health Editorial







Yet another editorial. On this one I was to make one large and one small illustration for a student health post in a magazine. It was about students starting at uni and having their questions answered by a doctor, i think.

I wanted to play on humor, making things seem less serious and frightening.

Small One:

Love Your Anger







Another editorial assignment. On this one I was to make a cover for G2 magazine, and the topic was about learning how to handle your anger, and that it was healthy to be angry as long as it was controlled somehow.

I wanted to something new and use photos instead of drawing. I came up with the idea of using a smiley built up by small, angry faces. So that you would only see the smiley from a distance, but when you get closer you`ll see all the pissed off guys. Love your anger.

Tabasco







My first assignment in England and a new study,  going from Graphic Design to Illustration. I actually found it weird just to be focusing on an illustration and not also everything around, like text and following grids and stuff. It felt really different from what I had been doing these previous years.

I got a brief about tabasco sauce, which I hardly understood anything from. The language was so advanced! So I spent a lot of time looking up words. After understanding a bit more I was finally able to come up with a final piece, which ended up looking like this:

Maarud Redesign







This assignment was all about redesign, to come up with smarter solutions for packaging. And I ended up choosing chips which has had pretty much the same kind of packaging for ages.
The package I came up with would make it possible for the bag to stand by itself, so that it would be easier to eat from without using a bowl. It would have a zip lock so that it would be possible to close it and save some chips for later without the chips turning bad. It would also take less space and would be more practical for transporting.

Magazine







The biggest assignment we had our last semester was to chose one of our magazine covers and make the content for it. As I already had to make new magazine covers I also had to make new content.. within a week. My previos magazine was shit, but it had given me enough material to put into the new one. I got a lot of work I wanted to use from some very talented friends of mine, which I am forever grateful to.  But still, I had little time to pull it off since the exam was steadily approaching.

It is a magazine ment for art students, about students and comes with tips and tutorials. It was also ment to be free, or at least very cheap.

Magazine Covers







This was an assignment I had to totally redo before my exam. It was the first assignment that semester and I was suppose to come up with three magazine covers. I made the three covers and was ready for presentation. But my Mac wanted it otherwise and decided to crash... for the second time that year. The assignment was picked out to be one of the hand ins at the exam and of course I had no backup.

Luckily we always had a week to prepare for the exams, so I put aside a day or two to make up some new covers. The first one is a Rock Magazine called Bakgården (the backyard), the second, KREA, a Creative Magazine for art students, and the third, KVADRATED (square) a Design Magazine.

BIR







Another group assignment at school were I worked as AD. We were to make a brochure for kids about recycling of garbage and stuff. We chose to use cartoon superheroes to make it more interesting for kids. Each of the characters represents different kinds of recycling and tells them where to throw the different wastes.
