Like I said, my graduation coming up this Friday! Can’t believe how fast those three years gone by up here i Sunne. Looking forward to those last days with my classmates and the big party on Friday night. On Sunday I’m heading over to Stockholm for a quick stop, then back home to Halmstad on Monday.

Please let me know if you want to recruit a packaging professional!

The whole idea I came up to then was to create a concept of balls being given away for free back to the sponsor after being played by a professional at a big golf tournament. Then the golfballs are being sold wrapped up by a signed organic packaging. All benefits are then going back and being invested in junior golfers all around the globe.

This whole idea never ended up in my portfolio, cause of being stolen. But maybe for example Titleist might see this blog post and then start up the idea. Then I did my part as a volunteer of a good cause, just for free. Karma is always good.

Vikunja also toured with Roxette late last year and played both in Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm and in Malmö Arena. In other words an upcoming band with great ambitions.

One more thing!
At the beginning of this new year, Krönleins Bryggeri are also coming out with some new display boxes and shelf to held their sodas, beer and bottled water. Here I designed an Upper Case letter K, to promote Krönleins in a new interresting way. I almost act as an Art Director at a design agency, kind of, unusual as an intern at a corrugated board manufacturer. But a salesmen at Smurfit Kappa managed to pitch the idea for Krönleins and they liked it!
I’ll try to get a photo of this to post when I see those displays in store.

I made a visit last week and I so liked the place and atmosphere there. This will be a very interesting and exciting time in my career and life.

Interesting to see how students from this kind of well known design schools think. They are more like artists with odd ideas and different thinking, they are not so commercially oriented as I am. Personally I think you have to ensure both good marketing and aiming at the right target group to make great visual communication. In the end money does matter.

Think I’m gonna post what kind of music that inspires me when I work with graphic- and packaging design now and then from now on.

Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters new album Wasting Lights is streaming very often now on my MacBook Air, both Spotify and Youtube. The whole band and it’s members are so inspiring and talented people. They’re not hard core rockstars anymore like drummer Taylor Hawkins said in their new documentary, they are musicians. Drugs and no.7 are now considered stupid.
The new album is by far the most professional among theirs, it’s a must to take a listening. So many hits and all are recorded in Dave Grohl’s basement on tape, no digital editing has been made afterwards.

I really recommend the documentary as well, called Foo Fighters Back and Forth, that came out just recently. Everything about Nirvana and stuff. Also brand new material from the recording of the latest album, so go watch it!

As a designer I think my brain kind of work like the same as a musicians and songwriters do.
