Demonstration Manual – Logo

Ok, the name is more or less final. Maybe I’ll do something with the four names on the far right of the first picture, but I’m not sure yet. The logo’s really giving me hard time. Don’t know if I should use just type, something like with the spilt white over the type or something completely different, like a real logo with little or no type at all (for example a tipped over milk carton). Suggestions, comments, help! Please…

Iceland’s first post!

Hey guys, sorry for the silence from my part, I’ve just been busy writing my program for my upcoming masters project…you know how we despise writing(maybe I’m just speaking for myself….and my other personalities)! At Danmarks Desginskole we have to write this so called program for the project which is sort of just a extended description on how we’re going to execute the process (cause the process is more inportant than the result here…). I managed to put together a 25 page A5 booklet out of this and here are my results, I just handed it in today so I can’t change anything! haha. The thing is that in theory the text should be so good that it doesnt need any fancy layout, but in my case where the text is so crappy I had to weigh it up with a little graphics in stead.

The project is to republish a collection of Icelandic folk tales and legends(fairy tales) so that it both reintroduces these long lost stories to the younger generations as well as encourages them to read more…and STOP playing Wii!

Enough writing and more showing!

I wanted the program to look old because the result of the project should not. The drawings are from a 1974 version of the collection, I wish they were my own but…. The layout inside is just a very simple one with no photos, and I used Plantin regular, italic and bold italic – so it’s simple.

I’m probably gonna try and trow in some stuff on the project on a regular basis, think it could be good motivation for me, plus getting some critique : ) And I’ll try and start from now on to comment on your work as well, but so far you’ve been doing some excellent stuff all of you.

Peas all

p.s dunno why but my text seems to float underneath some stuff and dissapear…sorry : (

we don’t play guitar.

Business Cards II

Continuing with new ideas. Tried progressing on the ones with crossed out square, but stopped after three variations. Then two small ideas. Finally one big one to make a series of handmade business cards, each one individual – I hope the concept is obvious. The teacher really liked the idea, just said that I should probably not do the type by hand, as it makes the whole thing look a bit cheap. Should more go into the direction of serious cards (with serious type, something serif-ish) that are printed as single editions and ‘pimped ‘afterwards. What do you guys think?

self promotion

the lastest stuff. I think i’m gonna do an A3 poster which is folded down to A7. probably printed on very light paper 80g or less if possible. it’s a simple solution. I’m showing some details of my work so the spectator gets an impression and hopefully wants to have a closer look on my portfolio page. orignally i wanted to have a phrase like “to close?” on the front. but i’m not sure about that. think it could be to much. would be nice to get some feedback especially for the fonts on the front. I’m really fonded of the font on the very left which is the ITC Cheltenham. the diffrent details will probably change. 9 days to go….

self promotion

Well, i’m startin slow ok!? there is some crap but it’ll be followed by masterpieces…

This is my self promotion project. It has to be printed on the 25th of february. i started today playing around so there are comin serious sketches the next days (hopefully tomorrow).

Business Cards I

Working on some business cards for one of my courses. Opinions? My teacher liked second from the left on top. But only because of the backside…
