VISUAL

IDENTITY

Vanir Esports Smoke

Vanir required visual identity for the fall season, representing both CS2 and Valorant. The goal was to create a flexible visual style that balances simplicity and detail, strengthening the team’s identity and audience engagement. The project got the code name “smoke” for its similarity to smoke patterns

Trondheim Klarinettfest

The Trondheim Clarinet Festival is a classical music festival designed to inspire and engage young.

Reimagining a traditionally “old” music style for a younger generation presented a unique challenge. However, by incorporating vibrant, transformative colors and an innovative approach to showcasing the clarinet, I created a design that resonates with today’s youth.

Unge Nyanser

Unge Nyanser (Young Nuances) is a classical concert series dedicated to highlighting emerging and up-and-coming musicians.

With a fresh, youthful perspective, it showcases the depth and artistry of young musicians, emphasizing their ability to create and perform.

The use of gradients symbolizes subtle yet impactful shifts—both in color and in musical expression—reflecting the essence of the ensemble’s name.

CONCEPTS

Concepts are projects or designs I have done on my own accord, without anyone guiding the finished product. They are varying in completion

Nullpunkt (Point Zero)

A concept developed while researching the European Climate Law, aiming to support businesses struggling to maintain climate-friendly policies.

Built on an existing typeface, Nullpunkt ensures both readability and ease of use, creating a cohesive and accessible design system. A key element of the concept was the use of bold lettering to capture attention and drive action. Designed as a purely B2B branding solution, targets businesses seeking sustainable strategies.

Good Game League

I created my iteration of the norwegian national esports league rebrand in 2023.

The concept consisted of the shortened version: GGL, placed in a specific way to be similar to both a thropy and a microphone. The thropy to symbolzie the competition, while the microphone the team work necessary to compete.
