Website Redesign

2008-12-02T04:08:00.000-08:00

I've just finished the design proces of Clemmens & Co's new website. Next up is the programming in Wordpress.

Clemmens & Co is a consultancy company who's specialized in building concept restaurants. For example they've built all the restaurants in Copenhagen Airport.

They needed a new website that was able to present their creations in a slick and simple way.

Furthermore they want better RSS integration and ability to incorporate flash and video content on the site.

Wonderful Copenhagen Workshop & Report

2008-09-11T05:41:00.000-07:00

In the summer of 2008 I (Together with Thomas H. Christensen) held two Social Media / Web 2.0 workshops for Wonderful Copenhagen's communication department.

As a team we found out how Wonderful Copenhagen can use social media and web 2.0 applications to tell Copenhagen's stories to its citizens and tourists.

At the workshops we went hands on with tools like Flickr.com, Del.icio.us, Google Maps and Gridskipper.com - and finally Thomas and I wrote a report about the whole thing.

It was a thrill of a ride - I can't put up the report due to copyright issues, but here's the foreword (In danish, sorry):
"De sociale medier er en overordnet definition af det digitale frirum der skabes når foto, video og audio offentliggøres af brugere af sociale platforme som Facebook.com, Flickr.com eller andre bloguniverser.

Sociale medier er billedet på at der sker en demokratisering af den online information, der transformerer Internetbrugeren fra at være en simpel indholdslæser, til at blive indholdsleverandør. De sociale platforme gør indholdsleverancen mulig, ved på brugervenlig vis at opfordre brugeren til at bidrage med indhold til det sociale medie. Enten i form af decideret indhold i tekst, lyd og billeder, eller i form af dialogbaserede og dialogskabende kommentarer.

Dét at Internet-brugeren nu også er indholdsleverandør, har stillet nye krav til de hjemmesider hvor brugerne dels udgiver deres materiale fra, men i lige så høj grad indgår dialog med andre brugere. Disse hjemmesider har oftest form som weblogs eller som store community-sider som Facebook, MySpace eller YouTube. Dét at den gængse Internetbruger nu selv genererer indholdet på Internettet, har skabt den største Internet-revolution siden Internettet så dagens lys i 1960'erne. Revolutionen bliver tit refereret til som ”Web 2.0”, hvor 2.0 refererer til at dette er det helt nye anarkistiske Internet, hvor alles stemme som udgangspunkt er lige indflydelsesrig."

Trendsales LIVE

2008-07-09T13:21:00.000-07:00

Trendsales LIVE is Scandinavia's biggest vintage clothes shopping event. This year's event was the biggest so far with 35.000 visitors. I worked as AD and head of production on all the online and offline marketing materials. I especially think that the hand cuff bag came out really well.

Interface design

2008-03-07T13:49:00.000-08:00

Wireless Factory is one of the worlds largest gateways to the wireless universe. They connect teleoperators, media channels, advertisers and providers of mobile services and provide the infrastructure for mobile business across Europe and US.

To help their customers keep track of all the mesaging data, they needed a new CMS system. I designed the Interface - an Ajax based system which is fully cuostomizable for the user via a drag & drop structure.

Alt. DoCopenhagen 3D logo design

2008-01-11T06:14:00.000-08:00

Hi res version here

After lots of research wheater if I should use Modo, 3D Studio Max, Maya or 4d Cinema for my 3D work, the good guys at Unplugged Copenhagen finally convinced me that 4d Cinema is the way to go.

I mainly chose it because it interacts really well with After Effects. All metadata such as light settings, Camera moves etc. exports really well. Can't wait to get in depth with the program...

This logo was done from scratch in 30 minuttes. This program is fast I tell you!

After Effects / Particular tryout

2008-01-10T07:24:00.000-08:00

From now on I will try to upload all my After Effects / Cinema 4D experiments. Most of all to keep track of my own thought and my progress. Some tries will surely be very poor, and some will be alright I guess.

This effect was made because I needed to try out the Trapcode Particle system. It's pretty powerful compared to the built in component in after effects, even though I haven't pushed the component to the limit yet.
