Working with logoes again. I have two more to go... but I like to break down and simplyfie complex forms. My aim is to make it as simple as possible. This one ended far from the vage image I had in my mind when I first started, but it kind of looks good after all.

to give

Lately I've been making these characters in flash, my main programme at work. Great fun. The girl in the middle is meant to be my colleague project manager, and the bald guy in the back could have been me. They're supposed to move and talk, just a little bit though. For the animating I will try out Aftereffects and see if I can add something more to it this time.

Digital pastels

Sometimes the art directors has images in their head and wants the illustration made in a certain style. In this case the AD had seen some of my prior work and wanted me to create something new but yet in my old style. I got these images to work out from witch suites me just fine.


So I flipped the image and started to work over it...
I usually work from photos. To the right you can still see a small photo of a helmet that I googled on the internet. The man in the front is from my photo library of people I have collected over the years.


And here is the original. I rarely take assignments that lasts for several days anymore, but this one did for sure!

Another draft for a logo. sola taekwon do klubb this time.
I staret out in painter, and than tweaked it in illustrator afterwords.

This is an idea for a new logo for a cottage rental company. As always I'm trying to talk to the feelings rather than just give information. To do both would be good I think. These cottages are buildt seaside and the obvious thing to do around there is to go fishing.

An idea "out on hearing"

Farmer John

A new character made for the weekend, pretty upset because his potatoeplants does not grow as big as they should.

just a little something

this is the first draft of mr. Z


and here is how he ended up to be. real simple with just lines animated in flash.

character

This is a very simple character, but I think I have spent 4-5 hours all together from the moment I started. The first hour I searched the internet trying to find something that could inspire me to make my own figure. Then it tok just about one minute to draw the idea on a piece of paper and from there I've been sitting in front of my computer working in illustrator. And yet, I could have easily spent another hour or two to make it look better... (The last ten minutes I used photoshop to make the mirror look on the ground.)

New year, happy logo

Here is the final result, my first assignment this year.


Then I made these two, because they wanted me to change the emphasize from not only receiving, but equally giving. They liked the one with the people.



So I showed them the sketch and the first draft of the logo. I thought it was a nice metaphor for what they wanted to say, and I still do. But they did not like it, so I had to start all over again.


The Imi church asked me to help them make a symbol to express: "together for others" and I came up with this idea of beeing rescued.

I kind of like this one so far

the great thing about sketches made with pencil and ink is that they are fast to make look good anyway.

This is my friend and colleague Tom.
He is leaving the designers in Edvantagegroup
