iPad illustration

Yesterday I fell in love with an app.

It’s called Paper:) (Or FiftyThree. Was a bit confusing what to call it when name, logo and website were completely different.)

It’s a moleskine sketchbook on my iPad, where you can draw and flip through and share spreads directy to your tumblr or email to your editor or… anything really:)

I use an iPad-pen, but the strokes are just as beautiful when you use your hand as you normally would on the pad.

For quick sketches, or ever changing storybards that has to be delivered asap (specially for book layouts), this app is workflow incarnated. And so simple and beautiful!

Actually I’m at loss for words.

Wow.

Web page sketches

This site is continuously being developed, and on Thursday this week me and the web designer are having a new workshop.

This time Sortenke is (among other things) working on building a word press theme for the page, and I’m making the artwork. Together we develop the design and ideas for the page.

So today I’ve been trying out different ways to present the different categories I might have on the portfolio page.

We made some quick sketches for the categories last workshop, and I have tried out different typographic solutions for them. (Still very much hung up on “Lady Rene”.)

Creative minds at work:)

Tomorrow I’ll be all day in my gallery working with different projects and saying hello to clients. See you there:)

Whohoo! WordPress!

I am redesigning my webpage properly this time. Web designer Sortenke has set up my domain with WordPress, and so far we have moved the blog, set a concept for the design development, and played around with (and I have learned) fun WordPress stuff.

The first few workshops we had we did lots of preparation, readying my drawings, readying content, set dimensions for pictures, installed the font, decided on basic grids and layout, worked on the theme, and lots of other stuff we needed to do. Plus looking at lots of inspiration from other great developers. In one workshop we focused on responsive design, and how to be creative around the different screens and formats where it’s possible to view a webpage.

I love workshops. Or working Continue reading →
