This is my life - Keeping Warm

Data visualisation A1 size,
how many layers I wear to keep me warm each day in november!
First pictures are of the illustrator made, and then the making of the handmade posters and the last three pictures are of the final handmade! The threads that goes out the circle are the days and they show how many layers I had on on that day!




Vitamin packaging - IN PROGRESS

These are the first boxes I made, sorry for the finishing but these are just sketches!
Im going to change the form of C and the D a little so they are standing a bit stadier. And some text is the wrong way, and somethings just needs to be tweaked a bit.

But please give me some feedback! :)

The Ethical project - ecoSAFE

This is the last project I finaliced in my second year.
It's called ecoSAFE and are a environmental marking for furniture.
It makes it easy to "scratch the veneer", and be sure that the furniture is for example environmental friendly.
I made a logo, stationary, ads and much more. For more info just contact me.

What do you think? Its Chichi

Ethical project

I need some help with choosing which consept to go for at the Etichal project!

Nr1 "ecoSAFE" :
A label that collect a range of different eco-lables to be on furniture. This will show you that the chair etc with this label on is not made by wood from the forest or made by children, its fairtrade, has a low carbon footprint, fairtrade and energy saving. The distrobutor of the furniture has to send in an application to ecoSAFE.
The logo is built upon that you can scratch yourself to the truth(on the businesscard you actually have to scratch yourself to the information)


Nr2 "activate":
activate is an activity day for families of Edinburgh. Its a rising problem with obesity amongst children, so I think it would help if people know more about outside activity and healthy organic food. It will help parents to more easily take their children outside for playing. They will also learn about healthy organic food, thats good to bring to school and outside a day of playing. The arrangement will be sponsored by big foodstore brands(like Tesco or Asda), and the city of Edinburgh council.
Its about playing, eating and growing as a family, not alone




So, what do you think?
