HYPER ISLAND PROJECTS

My first ever project in Hyper Island. The task was to create a 4 second animation about anything. I've always been fascinated with planets and so I decided to make an animation about our solar system. Made in After Effects.

My second project at Hyper Island was to create a walking cycle. I thought it would be fun to make my character do a secondary action while walking and so I thought of a viking in battle. Character was designed in Illustrator and animated in After Effects.

This task was about making a Spotify canvas for a song of our own choosing. I chose "my mind is a mountain" by Deftones. I made a frame-by-frame animation in Procreate and then imported it into a particle system I had made in TouchDesigner.

This was the first group task we got at Hyper Island. Our task was to make an animated poster. We chose to make a poster about an event showcasing mushrooms. Specifically about how versatile and powerful they can be.

TOOLBOX FONT

Toolbox is a font inspired by the screw nut. The initial spark for the idea came from looking at the interesting shape of the nut. The inside is round while the outside is straight and pointy. That is the main rule I kept throughout the entire process of creating this font.

CHARON BASE

Identity designed for the Eve Online alliance Charon Base. Alliances in Eve Online are player-made groups that work as teams / organizations to complete tasks, fight in wars, or hang out in-game.

HNEFATAFL / VIKING CHESS

Graduation project made for a B.A. in Visual Communication at the Iceland University of the Arts. The project was about reviving the forgotten board game "Hnefatafl" which was played in the Viking age.

PHOTOGRAPHY

A collection of photographs taken by me.

IUA GRADUATION FESTIVAL

Redesign of the visual style for the graduation event at the Iceland University of the Arts. The project was made in the course Verksmiðja (Workshop).

CHANNELS AND FORMS

Poster designed in the course Farvegir og form (Channels and forms). In the project I try to find out whether people can see the difference between designs made by humans and AI.
