Hi! My name is Einar Már Sonjuson. I'm originally from Reykjavík, Iceland, but currently based in Stockholm, Sweden. I’m studying Motion Creative at Hyper Island. Before moving to Sweden, I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Communication at the Iceland University of the Arts, graduating in 2024. I mainly work with Adobe Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro, InDesign, and Photoshop. I also have experience with Procreate, Blender, and Glyphs.
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. We all came up with the idea together and then I mostly worked on the title animation, which was animated in Procreate and After Effects.
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.
