photoshop: rubics cube II

Working further with the Rubics Cube. I might do a whole series of these for IGM´s catalog. Even though it´s not the most original idea, it was such fun to put in the face and logos. The most time consuming is creating the clipping path with the pen tool, but it is SO worth it!

photoshop: rubics cube

In planning our (IGM) next catalog, I got the idea of using my Rubics Cube (which I happened to buy this summer visiting Legoland). It turned out to be really fun getting the different logos in the different places. The Vanishing Point filter was very helpful, as well as lots of masks (about 27 to be exact).

Photo for CD cover: digging through my archives

Searching through my earlier designs, I came across one of the CD covers that I designed for my Dad back in 2001. He asked me if I could burn a CD for him with "the best" of Yello, knowing I had a bunch of their music. I couldn´t just give him a CD in a sleeve (you know me better than that)... and I saw a perfect opportunity for me to design my own CD cover.
I had some photos of an antique car, taken in Houston, and took it from there.
I loved seeing these photos again... plus, looking through my CD rack, I noticed that I never even printed out a CD cover for myself.

photoshoot: in a mental hospital

One of the most fun and at the same time scary photoshoots I´ve done in ... ever! This was taken at the Lier Mental hospital, in one of the abandoned buildings. This is the end result which we used for the poster, which I also designed.

gratulerer til vinnerne i NM i interaktiv design

Det var morsomt å se på alle lagene som jobbet seg gjennom de 24 timene i NM i interaktiv design. Grattis til Gerhard i XD Surdeig (ikke Superdeig slik det står i artikkelen under) som fikk 3. plass.

night shift: web design competition

It´s 10 pm and I just started my night shift at IGM. We are having a 24 hour web design competition. It started at 12 noon today and they have until 12 tomorrow to turn it in.
I will be here until 7 am.
Yawn...
Sort of a strange atmosphere here. There´s about 15 teams of 2-3 people, and they´ve all found different corners/offices to work in.
There´s a stack of pizzas in the kitchen and cases of Red Bull in the fridge, plus bowls with fruit... so I think we´ll be fine.
Unfortunately the season premiere of True Blood is tonight... in fact it starts in 5 minutes I think. So I´ll have to watch that later.

new igm catalog

I designed the cover to this years IGM course catalog. It turned out really good, with a glossy cover and the ticket having a matte finish.
Go to www.igm.no to download the pdf of the whole catalog.

marketing

Translation: "Opening soon an exciting take-away kitchen!"


Not sure what attracted me to this the most... the stylish sign written in marker, the fact that they are describing this as exciting, that we don`t have a Norwegian word for "take-away", or a mixture of all of these.

Flere som har lagt merke til den sesongbetonte emballasje-endringen på majonestubene?
