Friday 13th vs. Halloween

2009-11-13T16:20:00.005+02:00

Today's Friday the 13th, and somehow I've got a strange Halloween feeling. Probably it's because of the dark and chilly autumn. Here are some of the work that I, within Contium, did for Wasa Sports Club.

The main illustration/header for all the works

The Swedish flyer

The somewhat kinder poster for the kids' room

Contium's new website

Fully grown Designer

2009-07-02T12:38:00.002+03:00

Hey, forgot to mention that I'm since February upgraded from Junior Designer to Designer here at Contium. Word.

New Beginning

2009-07-02T12:11:00.002+03:00

Here we go. I already re-activaded my Papper-blog and this should be the following step, to re-activate this blog. Step by step though. Soon enough I'll also try to get my website up and running.

..I said I'll try.

Contium Brand and Design

2008-12-17T16:09:00.003+02:00

It's been a while.
I've been busy.

Graduating as a designer was absolute not the easiest thing I've done.
17 of my 23 years have been all about school and then suddenly you're thrown out with no actual plans. It's hard.

I took it easy.
I paniced.
I made loose plans.
I paniced.
I got a work offer.

A work offer.

I was just about to enter the H&M of Vasa with a work application when my phone ringed. It was about a design job for a brand and design agency.

I went to an interview with the agency just a few hours later and after a couple of days I had my first steady employment ever. Then I teared the work application for a work at H&M apart, because I knew it wouln't be needed for the nearest future.

So, here I sit now at work with the title 'Junior Designer'.
Isn't it great?

Thesis work

2008-05-15T19:36:00.004+03:00

Abstract

My thesis work involved creating a corporate identity and designing packaging for the company’s products.

The whole process has been very multifaceted and much more extensive than I could ever have imagine. Making a corporate identity is divided into several different steps. The process begins with an evaluation of a company and its business in order to help the staff work out a more functioning entirety, both structurally and visually. Designing the company’s packaging products, which was another aspect of my work, was a natural continuance after creating the graphical profile for the client.

The final result gave the client a more structured business, with a well functioning entirety, made up by the company’s graphical image and the new look of the packaging products.

Success!

The vernissage went great. The evaluation I had today went great. And tomorrow I'll get my grade. Soon, soon I'm finished with my thesis work..Only one presentation left to do, but it won't be a problem. It's just a 'small' one for the rest of the school, that will say the ones that are interested enough to show up.

Btw

(It's me and Johanna Högväg, Highway Design, who have done the poster+invitation)

Finally!

2008-05-05T23:56:00.003+03:00

I've handed in my thesis work for evaluation now. Finally.

It's been crazy weeks, months, full of work, therefore my radio silence.

Though, it's not quite over yet..

This Thursday me and my classmates have the vernissage of our exhibition of our thesis works, so for the moment we are busy preparing for everything.

After that we will keep two presentations of our works and await the final mark.

THEN I should be quite done with school and finally get my Bachelor in design.

The invitation

Burma goes Papper

2008-03-20T15:16:00.004+02:00

The Mars issue of Papper is out now. In the middle of the magazine you'll find my Burma illustration, but there with yellow background. A very good choice of them I must say.

Me - a designer

2008-03-06T16:49:00.003+02:00

I was serving myself lunch at the local Chinese restaurant yesterday when a little girl about five years old, I've never seen, before pointed at me and said to her mom "Look, a designer!"

She was right and I was happy.

Burma pattern

2008-03-06T13:18:00.006+02:00

Keep your eyes open for this pattern in the next issue of Papper (April 2008). It's a pattern made for a text on Burma. The illustration are built up from elements from the text and from some inspiration pictures.

I don't know yet which background color they are going to use, but this was one of the proposals.

An enlargement of the illustration itself.

Papper is the only free Swedish magazine to be found in its genre in Finland. Soon you'll also be able to download it from their website. I'll notify when.

Scroll down to the middle of the page at Designbooms snapshots from Greenhouse at Stockholm Furniture fair and you'll see a glimt of my make-up table 'Isis'.

While you're at it you can take a look at Nordisk Interiör's Web TV and you'll see me in action being interviewed from the place happening, again, Greenhouse. If you hold on about 3,3o minutes you'll see the shooting from our stand.

My workspace

2008-03-02T16:52:00.013+02:00

I was tagged by Maria to show my workspace, so here it is.
Enjoy.

So, this is my workspace at home. I work sitting on a gymnastics ball, to improve my posture. Efficiency, oh yeah.

My fantastic Mac and my lovely drawing board are my main work tools.

Inspiration toys. The dog is a gift from a very good friend; Manu. It's a souvenir from her study town Gmünd in Germany.

The illustration of the funny man is an enlargement from the CD cover of Matchbox Twenty's album Mad Season. Isn't he lovely ?

The 'I love Joss' (Joss=my nickname) card was a gift from a friend on Valentine's day once in primary school.

Cushion 'Savannah I'

2008-02-20T15:45:00.010+02:00

'Savannah I' is a four part cushion series made upon order for The Social Insurance Institution of Finland (SII). The cushions were planned for the relax room in SII's facilities in Jakobstad, to invite the personnel to relax and to put aside all thoughts of work for a moment.

Small facts: Two pieces of 'Savannah I' pillow cases are still avaliable (the ones on top), price: 30€ /pcs +shipping, otherwise, made upon order.

Pattern 'Savannah II'

2008-02-19T23:35:00.006+02:00

Creativity.
Inspiration.
Relaxation.

Pattern.
Textile.

'Savannah II' was originally a textile pattern proposal for an order made by The Social Insurance Institution of Finland (SII) in 2006, but ended up as my contribution to the pattern podium in our stand shown at the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2008. The colors used here are from our common color palette for the pattern podium.

('Savannah I' with its four part cushion series is now to be found at the facilities of SII in Jakobstad, Finland)

Small facts: Digital and textile orders made upon order.

Stationary make-up bag '512 N'

2008-02-19T00:28:00.005+02:00

It’s natural to love beautiful things. It’s natural to want to make things beautiful. So what is more natural than wanting to make ourselves look beautiful?

I would be the first person to admit these facts and I am fascinated and inspired by the urge of beauty.

'512 N' is a stationary make-up bag you keep at home. Forget the rummaging through your old make-up bag; the beauty of '512 N' is that you just have to unbutton the leaves to have your make-up or hair accessories visible right in front of you. And when not in use it rests, easy on the eye, like a beautiful flower bud just waiting to unfold for your beauty.

Small facts: '512 N' is available in two sizes;
'512 N' Big: bottom square 15x15 cm with 25/20 cm long leaves
'512 N' Small: bottom square 12x12 cm with 20/15 cm long leaves.

The material is felt and the colors are turquoise and soft white.
Made upon order.

Make-up table 'Isis'

2008-02-18T23:28:00.007+02:00

Different kinds of tables have fascinated me for some time now. Most designers’ dream is creating the perfect chair, but I dream of making the perfect table for the right purpose. Today we don’t have as many tables with different purposes as we did back in the days. Maybe it’s a question of making life easier for the consumer, or perhaps, just a lack of interest for most designers.

'Isis' is a modern make-up table for the enlightened woman. Expressive in its execution, inspired by the royal crown, but still, stylish thanks to the white color and the transparent pattern.

Getting all fancy, whether it is for everyday life or a party is something I love, like so many other women, so why not make the moment a little more special? 'Isis' makes sure your own beauty ritual becomes a bit more valuable. Add value to your life.

Small facts: 'Isis' does not have a producer yet. The only copy of the table and the stool is a prototype made of plywood.
