Just for the fun of it - AIK Festival 2013

Sometimes I do and create stuff just for the fun of it, so let's check it out:

AIK Music Festival 2013 - Logo and poster

AIK Music Festival is not a real festival. AIK is Aalborg Internationale Kollegium in Aalborg Øst, Denmark. I have spent a lot of time there and made some great friends, so when the collegium host parties or events I am joining them as a guest and AIK accessory.

In 2012 AIK hosted the first AIK Music Festival for the people living at the AIK, as well as their friends. For the 2013 event, I volunteered to do some work to promote the event at the collegium - graphic design for a logo and poster. These are my design suggestion:

AIK Music Festival 2013 - Poster

Hmm, the event is just a bad excuse to drink beer, be social and get to know each other. We don't hire live bands or grand stuff like that. We simply set up a stereo and some huge speakers and play live albums. A real joy, if you ask me {:

Take care for now.

Klone - Oplevelseskoncept (PBA opgave)

As some of you might know, I have shown you guys some of my work from when I was an intern at Klone (old blog post). Well, my team and I also made our bachelor project based on the company, Klone, and came up with a brand new way - and concept - to get kids and their family to explore the great wonders of the Danish nature.

The video is a short preview of how the concept works. It presents a story about Klone and his seven friends and how the concept takes you on a great journey into the Danish nature by using digital platforms such as (for example) an iPad.

Follow the link and watch "Klone og Halifaxes forbandelse"

Klone og Halifaxes forbandelse - Video preview

The use of iPads is meant to stimulate kids to go outside and be social in different and healthy environments with family and friends.

The concept is based on a lot of research on different target groups, so the concept fits all family members - all from kids to tweens to teenagers - adults and elders. The social aspect is very important.

Play, learn, discover and be a team player.

Play nice kids! {':

The End - And a new beginning

I ended my time at Jobs Partner, and now I am back on the job market - yay you guys, haha.

Being a part of Jobs Partner has been a great experience - a touch of how the real world works.

I will be posting some of my work from my days at Jobs Partner. Time was not on my side and I did not have a lot of it to post blogs. But here I go:

Ellection campaign - Lokallisten, Hjørring
This was one of my first assignments. To create a campaign and visual concept for a political party in Hjørring, Denmark.

• Visual identity
• Website (responsive design)
• A way to make awareness of the party and the politicians
• Posters - Party posters and of the politicians
• Flyers
• Car stickers
• Roll-up banners
• Consulting on Dropbox and use of social media

This is the logo that was made for Lokallisten. It has a lot of strength to it's bold font, and the pay-off and visual identity "Frihed T at tænke selv" makes a statement. "T" is the letter of the party, and the pay-off tells us what Lokallisten believe in.

The website is built from a resisting frame, which was already made and thus not changeable. The webdesign was made to attract attention to the party's political matters and believes. To create attention and get people to enter the website, we made offline media with QR codes. The QR codes is placed on posters, flyers and roll-up banners, along with the URL of the website.

Flyers for the politicians

Posters to place around town

Lokallisten, Hjørring, ladies and gentlemen ..

What is Jobs Partner?

What do I do?
I work as an e-concept developer, so basically I make up different concepts and strategies for other business who are in lack of branding, and so on and so forth.

Of course, they mean it well! In the morning I just need my coffee and breakfast before people can start talking to me - or else I won't hear 'em. It is simple; my mind is set to "Work" - then later I turn on the "Social" switch {:

...

So, now you know what I have been up to. I will post some of my work, tho some of it is still in process. Stay tuned!

Redesign of Klone.dk - "Klones Oplevelseskort"

The company, Klone, want to be a trigger for Danish families to go out and do family activities in forests and in nature. 

With help from the front figure, Troldenissen Klone, and his seven friends, Danish families with kids might gain interest and inspiration for play, learning and outdoor activities. The seven friends all have different intelligences, because of the constant focus on diversity now a day. The point is to use each other’s strengths rather than make fun of each other’s weaknesses. Thus the Klone community and concept is all about the well-being among children and to have respect for one another.

Web design - Redesign of Klone.dk (Not in business)

My team and I worked on this project at our internship at Klone. It just never seems to go live - which I personally think is a shame, because of all the lost hours of work and a quite bulletproof concept. 

The front-page is simple and easy to navigate. The design will get children’s attention and they can easily go explore the rest of the website on their own. It's a secure website for the kids to navigate. 

Our new concept - "Klones Oplevelseskort" (Kind of not in business)

It is a map that shows outdoor playgrounds and nature experiences in Denmark. You simply click around the map to find outdoor experiences close to where you live.

"Klones Oplevelseskort" - start

Mouse-over the map and click to choose different parts of Denmark

The green dots/trees show where the outdoor experience are located. Troldenissen Klone's favorite places are marked with a star. Click on the icons to learn more about the particulate location

Example: One of Troldenissen Klone's favorite places. Short description with images of the place and icon that indicate facilities

The design is meant to capture the parents as well as the children’s interest. We have used pictures and icons to keep it simple and more delicate to look at.

Well, I hope that you find the project as interesting as I did/still do. Ain't it grand ?

Viva la technology!
