Happy holidays! God jul & godt nytt år!

Hi, we are now at the end of the year. And what a year, both the best and the worst. With Covid and all. But this year I have had the opportunity to produce so many great thing and I can’t wait to get everything online (just need to find the time). I’ve done huge project, had a lot of fun, and stuff that didn’t go that well. Jumped on new possibilities and I guess missed a few.

So here it is, a Christmas card, from me to you. Hope you have a good, quiet, healthy and fine festive season!

Making my site come alive with GifGun

I’ve updated my site with small GIF animations.

Yes good old GIFs, the easiest way to create a moving images, when it’s not clean graphics. I’ve done a lot of web-animation that are SVG based and way more flexible and economic in “physical” size, but sometimes it’s only GIF that delivers.

And in this case I wanted to show some logos in context.

So how to make simple and quick GIF without pulling all your hears out?

A GIF are usually horrible to work with, in Photoshop, but with the simple plug-in for After Effects called GifGun it’s possible to fine tune and create a GIF that looks good and don’t end up as a 60 MB behemoth.

All the examples are from 500 KB to 2 MB.

A last trick is to only have a small part of the image that moves, so the freezed parts are only rendered ones.

So say hello to some simple and great updates to web-animation page :)

Late Summer Projects

I’ve added a some projects to the site and you can read much more if you click on the images :)

Together with Guilty we created a Power identity for Vimond. The project were strategy and concept driven to find the right solution for Vimond.

I’ve done a lot of work with Kunzt, and now also an identity upgrade.

For Prisonmade I made this video showing their logo identity

I’ve made a new version of my post popular graphic over at Society6, I call this abstract pattern, Late Summer - Apple.

Stacc show reel 2020

I helped Stacc creating a show reel. They work in Banking, and other systems and are basicly only screen based. I came up with a concept to work with called; all the screens. Screens can be really static and I had to make that interesting and different. This ended up with many different devices floating around in a red Stacc void showing some of their solutions.
