Icon design for Unity

Last year I designed more than 35 detailed vector badges for Unity, one of the leading game development tools. 

They were to be used as rewards for specific actions on the Unity Developer Network sites, and are comparable to the badges you see in many videogames. Badges are 'unlocked' by users interacting with the site. These are colorful icons that clearly belong to one family, but are unique and show their subject. The shape is inspired by the look of iOS icons, and, and most of them contain the 'false perspective' which provided a setting for the different illustrated elements. 

The different topics were...

Graphic illustrations for MeYou.dk

I was hired to do a series of graphic illustrations for a website called MeYou.dk. The site focuses on helping its customers pick the right gift for the right occasion. Instead of relying on traditional product photos or stock photos, they decided on writing down different kinds of gift categories and having these illustrated in a sort of detailed icons. Since the illustrations aren't being used in larger versions, it was important to keep the compositions simple. The clean vector look is a perfect solution to this. 

I received a brief on a large amount of scenarios/themes, and some different illustrations...

Vector illustrations for politiken.dk 'Roskilde Festival' theme

This was part of my Graduation project from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design (formerly Danish Design School)

For my graduation project last year, I made illustrations and news cartoons for the online edition of the Danish newspaper Politiken.dk

My focus was the online newspaper, since i hadn't seen any newspapers consider how illustrations should be used online. Often is was the cartoons from the print edition that are reused online, and often these illustrations aren't suited for online use. Most online newspapers rely on very horisontal pictures, and the height of pictures has to be...

Animated splainer for Slideshop.com

I'm working on an animated splainer movie for Slideshop.com, where I also work as a design and brand manager.

Slideshop.com sells PowerPoint templates and custom made presentations, and this new movie explains these two aspects for potential customers. 

The website itself has a quite corporate look, and that's why we've agreed on a more cartoony look for the movie.

I've worked with a couple of animation projects before, and usually with my brother who's a motion graphics artist. I do the storyboards, illustrations and various other small task, while Casper does an awesome job of bringing it all to life...

When Men Rode Robots

An illustration project I work on from time to time. It all started with a sketch once with a man riding a big robot. When I think about it, I'm pretty sure I got inspired by 'The Iron Giant'. The first poster in the series was the cowboy-themed one, then followed the arctic, and the one on the moon is the third. I've started on a fourth several times, but I can't seem to find a theme strong enough.

The thing I love about personal projects, is that they can help you get a lot of similar work when showcased in...
