NO FACE, NO TITLE School Project / Final Major: Human beings are curious creatures out of nature. It is fascinating how much time and energy we spend on nurturing ourselves with other peoples lives. This is a project about one stranger. It is meant to trigger the viewers curiosity and perhaps also create emotions.It is meant for analyzing. Who is this person in these photographs? Do you feel any connections/emotions/similarities? And will you ever complete the picture? The uncertainty and all the questioning that brings with it, if it is true or false, makes it interesting and somehow you can make up your own story of it. I read once that photography give you the illusion that you are discovering something, that you are in touch with something that is beyond the rest of us. Can a photograph unveil the person in the frame?

a ladies dram Design a 21st Century Whisky for woman
Ever since the first whisky it has been a drink linked to men. Now we have come up with a whisky that are lighter and fresher, but still strong in taste and more suitable for woman. Whisky can be described as a journey and this is made based on that term. This is a whisky designed and made for the dreamer and the adventurer, the woman that appreciate the time where she can pour herself a glass, with relaxation and disappear into the wilderness of freedom. This is a glass of â&#x20AC;&#x153;A ladies dramâ&#x20AC;?.
