You know what? I have a job nowadays. Yes. A regular job, you know a place were you go to every day, an office, fellow workers to talk to during coffee breaks, all that kind of good stuff. I just got fed up with all the freelance nut circus, good bye I will not miss you. Well kind of. Me and my wife still do freelance work as Espace777, that one is to good to be put away for good.
Anyway, my first two weeks have been great, all I have done is learn a lot about how to make pixel perfect graphics for mobile devices and the web. So here some screens for a make believe music player that I dubbed "Collections".

Hello good folks. In addition to redesigning Appaneros logotype I also was entrusted with redesigning their entire website. I must say, I'm very happy with the end result. It resembles the ideas I had with the logo nicely. Easy one of my best web designs ever.

If you like to hunt small little furry things and have an iPhone I think this app is for you. And I think you have to live in Sweden, at least this version is in swedish. So all you high tech loving swedish hunters out there, buy this. I designed it. It's good. It's beautiful. And (wouldn't you know it) it's also very useful!.

| UI Design á la Fjällräven |
Finally I say. Finally. After being delayed I don't know how many times by Fjällräven themselves (don't ask me why I will not tell you), the official Fjällräven iPhone app is out. It's basically exactly the same app as the one I did for Naturkompaniet but with a different costume. And you know what? It's free. Hooooray. The extra cool thing about this app is that it's going to be released in several other countries compared to the Sweden exclusive Naturkompaniet App.

From time to time I do freelance work for Sveriges Television (SVT). Great place, great people. It's really cool to work with news graphics, you really feel that the work you do matters. Often you only have a couple of hours to do the graphics, animation and rendering so you have to be smart about the decisions, specially take it easy with a lot of filters in After Effects that can take forever to render. I always try to do most of the styling in Photoshop in matters of looks, that helps a lot.
Grading for Allt för Sverige
I did all of the grading and color correction for the first episode of SVT's Allt för Sverige.Watch it here if you fancy.
Grading for 4 Stjärnors Middag, Kanal 5

I have been given the great opportunity to work with a TV show called "4 Stjärnors Middag" for Kanal 5. I do all of the grading and mastering of the show. It's pretty hectic, four 23 minute programs per week maybe doesn't sound much but in the world of online grading it's a lot. It means going thru a lot of footage, fixing the levels, colors and putting on the finishing touches.
The show is about four swedish celebrities (new ones every week) coming together and trying to impress each other with cooking the most delicious meal they can think of. They have a professional chef that helps them but really it's not about fine food it's more of a conversation show.
From a graders perspective it's pretty challenging with a lot of different indoor scenes with pretty bad lightning and mixed lightning. And then there is the fact that you have to finish four episodes per week so there is little time to do fine detailed work. You have to find a middle way between what you want to do and what you really can do.
Another very challenging issue is that because of a tight schedule I have to do all of the grading and mastering within Avid Media Composer. So it was just a matter of learning it the hard way, I did a couple of great tutorials but really the only way to learn is to dive in with a good sense of bravery and just do it. It also helps if you are surrounded by very professional Avid users that can help you with all of those strange things that Avid does so different from say Final Cut Pro.
Here's some screens from one of the episodes:

Coloring and title design for Thelma/Louise

I spend a couple of months between the fall and winter of 2010 @ Thelma/Louise doing things like graphical packages for TV, coloring and motion design. One of the projects was a movie for Borås Komun done to promote the city. The project was finished recently over a year later, they wanted to put in some additional summer footage. I used Apple Color for the coloring and After Effects for the very simple titles. Funny thing was that from the beginning of the project they were looking for a more cutting edge style so my first attempts were very different from what you see here. I will later on occasion publish these tests so you can compare.

| My redesign |
Appanero is an app making company based in Uppsala, Sweden. They are the ones responsible for Naturkompaniets Friluftsapp wich I did all of the graphics and art direction for.
They asked me to redesign their website and logotype. Below here you can see the old version of the logo:

Here's my new version in some variations. I wanted to highlight the word App and the easiest way was just to use two different colors.

And as more and more these days, a version of the logo with a bit more finish to it in the rendering:

Newsgraphics for SVT - Hooligans!

Sayonara. I'm going to start posting some of the screens and animations that I do for SVTs news shows, Aktuellt and Rapport. These graphics were for a news story about the increasing problem with hooliganism within elite swedish soccer. I like to work with rusty colors, it's one of my favorite color palettes and it goes well with news graphics. All images are courtesy of SVT.
