My dissertation, titled “American Hand Lettering”. It consists of two pieces: a book and a poster. The book briefly summarizes the history of commercial hand lettering, and questions why we are still drawing type by hand. I interviewed, amongst others, Ed Fella and Steven Heller. The poster focuses on my own incentives for drawing type by hand, and works as my participation in the ongoing conversation on the topic. All the headlines, exerts, titles etc. are entirely done by hand.

The last brief I did last term, called Wordless. We were expected to clearly communicate a message without the use of words, letters or numbers. I chose to focus on food, or on the hidden facts behind food production,rather. The end result was a set of alternative food-labels, revealing secrets about the certain product in a very iso-type and rebus-looking style. The colors on the labels correspond to that particular products typical packaging color.

A small website for Finnish company Teleste’s network solution - Ethernet over Coax. The product range and concept demanded a lot of explanatory illo’s, so we decided to go for a isometric style that let us place all the individual products and elements freely in the format without having to sorry about perspective etc. This is still at pitching level, although it will most likely go live pretty soon. Collaboration with Martin Batt, coding by Henry Hadlow.

A selection of t-shirts and tops for Russens Butikk, made for the 2006 collection. The illustrations were printed on flock, either straight onto the t-shirts or on separate pieces so they could be customized by mixing prints and materials.

This was a very similar project to Kingdom - visual identity for the guys and decorations for an old Mercedes 1984 model. The consept was a cartoony jungle with a secret cave behind a waterfall.
