HTML and CSS
This was my absolute first attempt on designing a functioning website. This website is for a sushi restaurant and it's main purpose is to show the menu with the products they offer. It also shows information about the company and the food they offer on the "about" page as well as the opening hours, social links and how contact them in the footer.
Although I still like the overall design I am now aware that the website lacks a lot of things like a proper navigation menu on all pages, Contact page and screen size flexibility.

Studio Shooting
This task was very different and a lot of fun. I had to find a model and organize a photo session in order to get portrait photos. My boyfriend was very kind to help me achieve my goal. After the photo shoot I had to create a poster and a Spotify adverb on a certain topic. I choose to create an advert for Norwegian culture and politics.

My best photos from the photoshoot
The photo session I took was on a sunny summer day and that helped me use natural light instead of artificial studio lightning. I tried different positioning, placing of the model and settings on the camera. I also tested some of the photos in black and white instead of color.
Original photo I chose to work with on the task

Spotify adverb
I used Photoshop to edit and mask the photo. I then changed the background and added the additional elements, logos and text.
Mockups
A social media visual story
For this task we had to create 3 social media stories for Keto bars. I wanted to include them to my portfolio, because I'm quite happy how they came out.

I created 3 completely different concepts using the Keto bars images from the original website. For the first two designs I used fonts and colors from the bar packaging, but for the last one I went bold and crazy.

Information Design
On this project I worked on a poster and a website for biking in Bergen. The main goal for the website was to attract new users by offering an easy way to find biking routes in Bergen and the information they would need. This time I believe my website design has improved a lot. I selected and made the overall style, font and imagery to fit well with the customer profile and the theme of sport and biking.

Poster
Mockup
I made the map by tracing a map photo in Adobe Illustrator. I kept the design clean and only showcased the biking routes on it.

Logo
I wanted this logo and brand to have a classy and elegant design. Most design for dog food related products these days is goofy and silly and I wanted my brand to be different and stand out. The name of the brand is inspired by the two wolves in Norse mythology that chase the sun and the moon around the
Earth.
Infographic
Brochure
I made the brochure in a Tri-fold style in A4 size, which makes it look very modern and elegant. I chose to use more photographs instead of illustrations in order to keep the design more professional and modern.

Packaging
Since the food sold by this brand is fresh and needs to be kept refrigerated the packaging consists of plastic plate, sealed with a plastic film and a paper cover on top that has a band going around the whole package.

Point of sale
Since the product needs to be kept in a refrigerator at all times - I chose to customize the design on it and use that as my point of sale.
Project Exam 2
My project exam for this semester is yet to be checked and graded, but I am very happy with how it came out, so I want to include it to my portfolio.
The main task for this project was to create a website for an excising or fictional company. My choice lies in the middle, because this company does not yet exist, but it might in the near future. The brand design is for a small sheep farm in Norway that wants to start selling some of it's produce to clients. After discussing the requirements the client had and the style of the brand I started working on the elements one by one. We agreed that I will create a logo, website, brochure, packaging sticker design and a paper bag design for the farm. The main purpose of the website is to present the viewer with the products that are available for sale for this season and give more information about the farm and the animals that live on it.

Logo
The logo design was inspired by a mark I found on the barn of the farm. It was created by the person who built the barn and consists of his name initials written in a very unique way. I created different versions of the logo, including some with color, but decided to only use the black and white ones.

I decided to use more neutral and nature related color palette and let the photos and text stand out. I believe I managed to created a very well balanced and functional website that can be used in the future.
Brochure
The brochure design is inspired by the website and it's main purpose is to briefly show the products available for sale and how to make a purchase as well as short information about the farm and the website address.
Sticker label design
I created the labels following the same design style as the website and brochure. These labels will be used directly on the products and aim to give information the customer about the given product.
Paper bag design
The design of the paper bag is simple and it's main purpose is to advertise the logo of the brand.
