Profile

Final bachelor project, Oslo National Academy of the Arts. Profile for the cosmetic company Esthetique. I made a new logo for the excisting company and in addition i focused on profiling a proposed new departement for younger women. I gave it a more expressive and playful approach to cosmetics and focused on the fact that they sell the makeup brand MAC.

Map of Oslo

A highly personal map and presentation of my favorite spots in Oslo, wich i give out to friends visiting.

Wedding invitations

Set in 9 pkt. Bembo, and 12 pkt. Palantin.
Because of missing uppercase types, i had to find an alternative.
I think it was an advantage. All done by hand with leadtypes.
This is where my love affaire with letterpress started.

Theatre program

Collaboration with Adrian Storm.
Theatreprogramme for the bachelorperformance of the acting students at Oslo National Academy of the arts. A minimalistic preformance of Arthur Millers "the meltingpot". We had no money, so the limitations was a black and white printer.

Embroided pillowcase

I embroidered a poem by a famous Norwegian poet named Haldis Moren Vesaas. The poem is called While you sleep. The fragility of the poem is hightened by the choice of illustration technique and suits the vulnerability of the condition of being asleep.

Advent calendar

The calendar consist of 24 hand drawn miniatures.
I focused on the romantic image of Norwegian nature, and wrote rhymes on how bad things can get if we don´t take action and protect the environment.

Profile

Profile for an imaginary luxury hotel.
My idea was a luxurious festival camp for celebrities
and wealthy people who wants the whole festival expirience.
My goal was to balace between trash and luxury.
Inspired by people like Kate Moss, Vivienne Westwood and Amy Winehouse.

Festivalguide

Festival survivalguide.
We were given two elements: a roll of Duct tape and a word.
My word was arse.
The project was to promote the use of Duct tape in new ways.
Where are arses and Duct tape often represented together?
At Norwegian music festivals!

Book

Collaboration with Adrian Storm. A translation of three plays from Sami to English. The plays are minimalistic jester preformances made by Sara Margrethe Oskal. Her only element is the oversized tassels tied around her ancles. This was the illustrative element we used through the whole book. We used letterpress for the headers and linocuts for the illustrations. It was an exclusive production of only 500 books. All the covers were printed by hand.
