I have done quite a lot of different graphical exercises and projects during my time as a student and afterwards as a way to keep up my skills and expand them. They are fun to make and lets me play around with the different tools in the Adobe program package.
I have chosen to display some of them here. These graphics are mostly fictional and are not made in collaboration with anyone.
Legal disclaimer: As a way of not stepping on any toes legally, I have chosen not to show my graphical work from my position as a Graphics Designer at Dansk Supermarked. If you should wish to view these I can show them to you in a face-to-face interview.
During my 2 semester at school we were asked to create a composition working only with three elements: the letter C, circles and lines.
The idea with the assignment was to train our ability to make a layout, see in graphical forms and shapes and to train our creative abilities.
My professor gave me a high score on this assignment. Saying that I achieved the goal of being creative and having a comprehensible design.
In my 3 semester our professor asked us to re-do or spif-up an old logo/label and afterwards make a brochure to tell customers about the makeover.
I choose the beer label "Thisted Bryghus" and worked with the idea of making a new beer bottle label. This was a fun and, at the time, very challenging project.
I had to create a poster for the Half Marathon in Aarhus were I had to give the runner movement and give a sense of location. I also had to play a lot with the wording and how to set up the typography. I chose to go black, white and grey to give the poster a more serious look and feel.
This was a fun little patterns project where I had to make a pattern with colors, figures and lines.
The idea was to restrict myself to few colors, figures and lines and work them together into an uplifting pattern.
