New year, new beginnings

Yet a new year has started, and I am now an honours student. Exciting - but quite intimidating too... So now my head is in a blur/trance and I hope it will lead to some serious good ideas in the end! Cheers

Travelbook Reykjavik

The travelbook about Reykjavik, which I handed in for Editorial 1 at OCAD this semester. I was lucky to be able to lend pictures from some really nice Photographers!
Arni Trygvasson, Joby Catto, Ævar Guðmundsson, Ville Miettinen, Håkon Eikesdal - Thank you!

These are just a few examples of the book. All in all I have 19 spreads. The consept of the book is creating a different travel guide, with organic forms all the way through.

“An artist is someone who produces things 

that people don't need to have,

but that he - for some reason - 

thinks it would be a good idea to give them.”

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!
