BjÖrkliden Catalogue
Description
—
Björkliden Fjällby is situated 250 km north of the Arctic Circle and is a paradise for nature activities such as skiing, hiking, dogsledding, fishing and mountain biking.
At Summer Design I was responsible for the layout and art direction of their summer and winter catalogue for 2009/2010. The concept was focused on strong seasonal colors with different stories for each spread combined with beautiful photos and informational illustrations. This project was produced together with Fredrik Vial, Joakim Holmqvist and Birger Hedenheim at Summer Design.

Quit Smoking Gum
Description
—
In 2006 I was asked by the leading magazine in Sweden for graphic design, CAP & Design, to participate in their monthly section "the Assignment" (in Swedish called "Uppdraget"). The brief was to create a packing concept and logotype for a quit smoking gum called "Quit", aimed for a younger target.
My solution and concept was built on bright colors, cubic shapes and a "Q" (or/and a speechbubble) symbolizing the obvious request in this case.
