Project 01 —

Background —

With 20 million listeners each week, NPR is one of the most trusted news sources in the U.S. It also produces talk, music, art and entertainment programs from member stations and independent producers. NPR strives to create and tell stories that amuse, inform and inspire. It explores questions and it never settles for obvious answers. This kind of deep investigative journalism is as important today as at any time in the history of this country.

Concept —

In today’s society it can be difficult to keep up with and make sense of all the news that is reported. Previously is one answer to this problem. It is a quarterly that gathers the most popular articles written by NPR journalists, covering politics, news, arts and music. The photography and layouts are designed to support each article and evoke a visceral feeling beyond the written word.

Stutterheim Raincoats

Project 02 —

031

Background —

Stutterheim Raincoats was founded in 2010 in Stockholm, Sweden. The company was, and still is today, inspired by the Swedish archipelago and its rainy seasons. To ensure the highest quality, the coats are all made by hand. Stutterheim lately received a great deal of acclaim for its collaborative work with rapper Jay-Z. Stutterheim’s philosophy and manifesto is about embracing both the melancholy and thoughtfulness of rain. Because without the rain, the comfort of sunshine would not be as deeply felt.

Concept —

Stutterheim’s manifesto is very appealing and I was looking closely at it for the extent of this project. To believe that feeling blue can inspire creativity and that you need it in life to be happy speaks to me. I wanted to bring joy and creativity into Stutterheim’s melancholic world through a promotional brochure. Vibrant colors are an expression of happiness to me. I balanced colors with black and white photography, sharing Stutterheim’s story and its process of creating beautiful and durable raincoats.

Home Box Office

Project 03 —

049

Background —

HBO is one of the largest pay-TV channels and streaming services in the U.S., with a subscriber base of around 33 million and earnings of $400 million annually. HBO provides their subscribers with movies, original series, documentaries, family shows and sports. HBO is most known for their original shows, including Game of Thrones, The Wire, Oz, Girls and The Night Of. Creating a new visual language for such an iconic network proved to be a unique opportunity that not only challenged me but one that I found very enjoyable.

Concept —

When updating the new logo, I aimed to keep the same classic characteristics from the old HBO logo and refine it to fit the modern and digital market. The vivid color spectrum came to life by giving each program category a specific color and then mixing all of these together personifying HBO’s large library. The flow of the visuals together with the rich colors, support and create excitement and pacing that emulates the dramatic style characteristic to HBO.

Opulent Wine

Project 04 —

071

Background —

It’s easy to get lost while walking down the aisle in search for that perfect bottle of wine. There are hundreds of brands that are competing for your attention and most people tend to choose a label that catches their eye. One label may have an elegant color, the next, a striking illustration and another may have a unique embossed label. Luxurious wines often come with ornate floral patterns or beautiful illustrations that tell a story about the wine or the winery. These elements not only elevate the brand, but produce an opulent state of mind.

Concept —

In order to embody the brand Opulent, I used aesthetics associated with high-end wines but tried to do so in a way that not only make the wine stand out, but also give it a unique personality. I created a label system that focuses on details, line art and typography. The labels wrap around the bottles to create visual interest and make the bottles look majestic. The artwork is set in gold foil to strenghten a feeling of luxuriousness and opulence.

Duck Trump Board Game

Project 05 —

091

Background —

The 2016 election was a three-ring circus put on display for the entire world. A reality TV-star named Donald Trump has taken the stage and has begun throwing muslims and other minorities out of the big tent. The ideas that this would-be leader stands for are an affront to basic morality and it’s important that we keep vigilant to his machinations. We should stand our ground and never let this kind of power push us away from the tenets of human civility. I created a board game that allows people to talk about this without losing their minds.

Concept —

In the game, Duck Trump, one team plays as Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Ted Cruz while the other team takes on the role of immigrants. The mission for the immigrants is to earn as much money as possible by doing different jobs on the board. If they get in trouble, they lose all their money and are sent to prison. The game isn’t over until one of the immigrants thinks he or she has the most money and quickly flees the country, or the politicians manage to incarcerate all of the immigrants.

The Hikesome App

Project 06 —

0107

107

Background —

Moving to the U.S. after spending most of my life in Sweden made me realize a lot of things. Firstly, I learned that food as a social activity is more prevalent here than in Sweden. Second to this, that many of my American friends love hiking, which is something I’ve never really tried. In the era of social apps that encourage us to do different activities with one another, I saw a potential in my ignorance and it is how the concept of Hikesome was born.

Concept —

Hikesome connects both experienced and inexperienced hikers in your area. The ones that are new to hiking can find trust in the experienced to lead the way and show them where the best trails are. Everyone has the opportunity to teach, learn and interact with each other for a more pleasant and exciting hike. Set up your preferences, then choose a trail in your area and your done. Hikesome will connect you with people that match your criteria. The Hikesome app features messaging, an incentive and rating system, weather and photo galleries.

Scandinavian Airlines

Project 07 —

012 3

123

Background —

Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) was established in 1946 through a consortium agreement between three Scandinavian airlines. With over 28 million travelers every year, SAS is one of the most popular and recognizable airlines in Europe. The past decade has been tough for SAS. A strong competetive market has forced them to lower prices which in the end has affected their economy. In 2013, SAS managed to turn things around and is on the way to retrieve their status as a proud and strong nordic airline that leads instead of follows.

Concept —

In this competetive market, it is crucial to stay true to ones brand and the customers. I was going for a look and feel that’d be attractive to the Scandinavian market and also give the impression of security and quality. The outdated SAS logo underwent an update, as did the color, photography as well as the promotional language.

Hendrick’s Gin

Project 08 —

0147

147

Background —

Hendrick’s Gin, with it’s apothecary shaped bottle and label, was founded by William Grant & Sons in 1999. It describes itself as a gin made with an oddly delightful blend of curiosities for the individual who pursues the unusual. Traditional gin is solely made out of juniper while Hendrick’s Gin is made with juniper, rose petals and cucumber. An interesting aspect of Hendrick’s is how subtle the bottle and the label are but there is so much of the story that never is told unless you search for it.

Concept —

I was asked to make a revolutionary version of the Hendrick’s Gin, a design that would look different from their current label but still be recognizable. In my research I found out about their peculiar past and what truly makes them odd, curious and unusual. These key words led me to create a label that questions how things are done in the world of label design, just like Hendrick’s once did with gin. I kept the triangular shape of the label and the curiously shaped bottle to keep the characteristics of the original Hendrick’s brand.
