NSB - 8 minutes zone rail traffic information Art direction, lead design, illustration

NSB is the norwegian national railway service. This work is a infographic/identity project intended to visually simplify the complex informations about train frequency and directions. The audience is supposed to get the right informations about how often the trains stop to Sandvika station and in which direction they will be directed to. The goal is to deliever these informations to a wide target of passengers (sex, age, culture) in the shortest time as possible, in an intuitive way and with almost not any need to learn the communication system. The railway has been divided into frequency zones with relative station signage (8, 10, 20, 60 minutes). The idea that the service in the center is extremely fast (8 minutes waiting only) has been related to a cup of coffee (8 minutes long drinking pause). This associates the waiting to a positive and relaxing moment. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;8 minutes zoneâ&#x20AC;? idea has then been developed through use of information posters, web and iPhone application. Work elaborated while at Uniform Strategisk Design AS, Oslo.

HANDELSBANKEN “Handelsbanken Gold”- Campaign design Art direction, lead design, illustration, desktop publishing

The goal og the campaign has been to promote the values og Handelsbanken Gold credit card. The reliability og the card has to be presented through: Travelling, security and high potential of the card on a “high class” level. The idea has been to apply the existing design of the card directly to the objects that can symbolize the different values (security, travelling, assistance, exclusivity). In this way the service “becomes” the card in a extremely strong connection: “if you have the card you have the service” - kind of message. Picture manupulation has been quite challenging and funny for me. The campaign was a little too “extreme” in order to the ad environment typical of the bank services. The goal of the customer was to increase the card selling of a +3,5%. They decided to go for this choice and surprising result has been an astonishing +13%.
