More posters

Here is a poster I did for a presentation in India. Not much to say about it, lots of the decisions were dictated by the established style of Køge Handelsskole. What I am proud of though is the image on the top of the poster. It's the second of a series of posters I did for the presentation, the theme being "Projecting one's imagination onto clouds". Everyone has watched clouds pass by and imagined things, animal, faces etc etc on them. So, I made the connection between this activity and the advertised programs, the concept being that a person can shape the world based on that person's imagination, just as a person can see whatever it is they want on clouds by projecting their imagination on them.

Køge international brochure



Here are some select pages I designed for Køge Handelsskole's international brochure. The green circular thing is a futuristic menu that I thought fitted well with the school's philosophy of making the future, as opposed to waiting for it to happen.
I wanted a computer menu theme to fit in with the online nature of the degree on showcase here (multimedia). The thinking behind the specific design was breaking away from the current style of rectangular computer menus towards something that looks more like a media player, with different operations (like "OK", "Continue", and the text) presented in a different circle. I'm a huge fan of asymmetrical design and I tried to get this approach through to the design of the different "branches".
Check out also the green page above with the letters for background. I like using script and fonts to visually get a message across, so I had fun with that one.

Lapse Photography Mk.II

Hi again.

I'm experimenting with lapse photography for a project at work and, now having access to some better equipment, I shot some pretty neat looking cloud formations outside my flat. Check them out, tell me what you think.

One of them is at the start of a snowfall, you can see the sky turning into a certain apocalyptic shade of black half-way through. The other is of the school across my flat, notice the kids playing football at the bottom.

Everything was shot with a Nikon DX set at 3sec exposure, 30 f-stops, with a home-made neutral density filter in front of the lens.
