0A couple of weeks ago I entered Le Lab Toys’ contest to design their new vinyl figure, based on the theme “Freudian nightmare”. I discovered the contest a big late, but I decided to make a design that was based on rorschach patterns and sent it in the night before it ended. First time I’ve tried something like this. I was awarded third place, and they sent me a very nice e-mail afterwards. Maybe I’ll get to make a custom for them some day.

I’ve been experimenting a little with type treatments lately, as I get so incredibly inspired looking at what other people do in this field. Here is some of the stuff I have been working on.
I reworked the complete visual profile for OSFF this year, and even had time to put together a 30 second animated movie, as you can see a few posts ago. Now, here are some pictures of the various elements.
A few of the Softies designed and put together over the last year. As usual, thanks for all the help Tonje! 
Trailer for Oslo Science Fiction-Festival 2009.
I did the animation in After Effects, based on my profile design for this year’s festival. Music composed by Benjamin Aker.
Lets just call it my fan poster for a great band. More details after the break.
A gig poster I’ve put together the last few days, just because I felt like doing something like this. Wish it wasn’t so damn hot though, makes my productivity go down. More details after the break.
Recently I was comissioned to make a poster and flyers for The Shadow Project, an organization for people interested in science fiction, fantasy and all that fun stuff. I am also working on the identity for their biggest event of the year – Oslo Science Fiction Festival. The convention/festival is being held in november, and I have a feeling it will be grrrreat!
So, I’ve had this wallpaper I made laying around for several weeks, figured it was about time to post it here. I know the triangle-thing has been done a lot lately, but I still get pretty fascinated by the shapes.
