  • Nixon 'The Genie' Watch With a few layers, some gradients and a bit of spare time I recreated this Nixon watch in Illustrator. I enjoy creating these kind of things once in a while, just trying to be really nitpicky, focus on the details and be as photo realistic as possible.     2012 Icon Design, Illustration
  • The Written Ben Galley, a self-published author from England asked me to create the cover for his debut book – The Written. A dark fantasy novel following the mishaps of a mage called Farden.

    Ben wanted the cover to reflect the dark sinister mood of the book, but be simple and eye-catching as well.

    Not being a great fan of the fantasy genre or very book covers I thought of this as a fun challenge.

    We all know what a fantasy book "should" look like, airbrushed elves and knights standing in realistically rendered environments. So I wanted to create something in the opposite – A simple cover with the feel of fantasy but with a look that would make it stick out from the shelf.

  • PRIX During the module Branding and Visual Design at Hyper Island, my group and me were assigned the task to brand Prix — A fictional company created by another group in an earlier module at the school.

    Prix is a B2B company providing a white label selfscanning solution for smartphones to supermarkets. Our task was to visualize the brands core values trough a new logotype, graphical profile and branding guidelines.

    Being a B2B company, Prix was keen on being seen as reliable and competent, but also flexible and energetic. After our research we realized that companies stating themselves as competent and reliable often are very dull.

    So we asked ourselves:

    “How can a serious B2B communicate competence in a serious manner without being boring?”

    From the company copywriting to the color palette we therefor worked with balancing an energetic spirit with a professional business tone.

    Team Members: Hanna Lilja, Jonas Persson, Anton Reimertz and Fredrik Rydén.

  • Dictated Death My admiration to graphic novelists like Frank Miller and street artists like Shepard Fairey and Banksey is great and their iconic style and storytelling have inspired me in many projects, one of them being these posters called “Dictated Death”, which I created during The Arab Spring, when the common people of the Arab world regained the power of their countries and annihilated a brutal dictatorship.     2012 Illustration, Print Design, Street Art
