Graphic design
Selected work
Book covers
The activity book Hyperactivitypography from A to Z turned out to be quite the success and has now been picked up by Die Gestalten Verlag to be reprinted and published internationally this fall. It will available for purchase here in October!
I finished – and passed – my final exam this week (you can check out the assignment I did here), which means I'm finished with my graphic design education at Westerdals. It hasn't quite hit me yet. So now I'm trying to figure out what I will be doing next. My dream is to be a book designer, so I'm exploring all possibilities in that field. I will be doing freelance work until I find someplace to work, preferably a place I can learn more about – and do – book design.
I have taken new product shots of most of my work this weekend, to make everything look so much sharper. And I've added the long anticipated Hyperactivitypography from A to Z, which I have been working on from almost half a year now. It turned out really nice and we (the team) are getting lots of positive feedback, so that is fun. Other than that, my final exam is coming up soon and I'm trying to figure out what I will be doing in the fall, now that I'm almost finished with design school.
I discovered I've been added to McGill University's list of The Norwegian type scene because of my Universe font. I don't know if I deserve to be listed alongside amazingly talented people like Magnus Rakeng and Christopher Haanes, so I'm highly flattered.
It's been quiet on this website for quite some time now, but I finally got around to do some updates: I've added a new project (Quotes To Live By), as well as redesigned an old project after some eye-opening feedback from my typography teacher (Trekways of the Wind). This because the first half of my last school year is already over and I thought it would be wise to work on improving my portfolio for when the job hunting begins. So other projects may be re-examined as well in the near future. We'll see.
To evaluate the school year so far: The year started very slow, but half way in the speed increased and I've gained valuable experience and learned a lot. The next half should be exciting and informative as well – and I'm actually looking forward to my final exam in the spring. :)
Happy holidays & a happy new year!
Me and some class mates (all girls, curiously) have started a Moustache blog. Moustaches are hillarious. :)
I've joined the Behance network. Visit my site at behance.net/underfundig.
Today Studio 3 starts, Westerdals' in-house student design agency that I will be attending this last year at Westerdals. We are fifteen students who will take jobs from real clients.
I just finished my two week internship with Mission Design. Two weeks sounds short, but it was a good experience nevertheless and I got to learn some new things as well as meet some wonderfully talented people.
I just got a rave for my CD cover design for heavy metal band Deseized. Read it here. And congratulations to Deseized for a good music review!
Today I started my two week internship with Mission Design :)
The results are in: I have passed my final exam and can officially begin my third year this upcoming fall. My exam assignment can be seen here. Cheers!
Who says a website can't be redesigned in a day? A lot of minor changes have been done and some new work has been posted (even more work is coming soon!). I have introduced a new design category to the navigation menu in the left column which is entirely dedicated to books, because a book designer is what I want to be when I finish school :)
Monday to Wednesday this week I will have some designs exhibited at this year's Utbrudd festival which is being held at Rockefeller.
The final exam that concludes the two first years at Westerdals was handed in yesterday and I will have the result sometime next week. Now I will spend some time redesigning my website.
It's confirmed that I will be spending a couple of weeks of my summer vacation as an intern at Mission Design :)
Added some new old graphic design work to my portfolio that I forgot to put in when I redesigned my website.
I've started a Moomin blog where I collect everything Moomin :)
I've started a tiny blog, a place to put my randomness.
I've just been accepted to the third year in-house graphic design studio at Westerdals, Studio 3! Only half the class is accepted to the third year, bringing us to a total of 15 students. Congrats to my future fellow co-workers!
The new website is up and running! There are still some minor quirks that needs attending, but it's all good.
