Portfolio time

It’s been a long time… I know… But I’ve been busy

Two more modules are now settled and we’re starting the portfolio module… I feel a bit relieved that the group works are over but a bit scared at the same time… It’s hard to explain but I kind of have separation anxiety from my group haha…

We’ve been working together during the two last modules and sure it hasn’t been easy, and the group dynamics haven’t been the best but we still managed to deliver some kick-ass work!
I surely feel a lot more confident in the work I do now and that I have the ability to work under pressure.


As a part of my group for the last 8 weeks, I have learned more about me and the way I function in a group than I would have if I had worked in a group where the group dynamics were perfect. So, even though it may sound funny or strange… Thanks for the fighting and the hard times, but especially thanks for the great outcome!

Now I’m on my own for a while… Scary but fun!

Update

The other day we hade a visitor from Billy Blue School in Sydney. I actually was thinking about putting in an application for that school before I knew I got in to Hyper. Seems like a really inspiring school and my desire for getting to australia grew even bigger. Hopefully I'll get an internship at a bureu in Sydney, that would be really great. I'll just hope I'll have the guts to go. Well well that is an issue I'll have to deal with later....

If you haven't read in our groupblog we got a keyboard and a mouse to play with for the experience technology module. We're going to develop a drumgame.. if you feel the need to know anything more about that you'd better take a look in our groupblog, there you'll get all the explainations about how and why etc. Touch Technology

At the moment I'm home... and I'm not feeling good at all...Been home sick from school today but hopefully I'll be able to go tomorrow. Atleast I have to be well on thursday for the grand opening party for Hyper Island in Stockholm.

Read about Ikeas dreamkitchen in the new issue of Cap&Design the other day...loads of work put behind all that I'll tell you, and pretty cool... take a look

That's all folks!

Experience Technology

New module at school, now it's time for experience technology. I must confess that I was a bit sceptical at the beginning but I think I've changed my mind. Now I actually think it's going to be really fun. Seems like a really playful module...

Today the class was divided into 9 groups and my group is going to work with touch. We get the actual task at Monday, so right now I understand just as much as the rest of you...Part of the module task was to create a group blog where you can read all about our work during the next couple of weeks... Yay! Take a look

Motionweek

During motionweek we had to make a 15s motion on only 24hours...This is mine... I'm pretty pleased with it since I've only used After Effects once before...

Weekend of fun...not!

Have been trying to do some AE tutorials today... I can't really say it's been helpfull since I'm still soooo confused when it comes to AE. I usually have no problem learning new programs but today just wasn't my day or maby AE just isn't my type of program...hmmm It's probably because I've been having fever for four days now, but hopefully tomorrow I'll be back on track!

My friend Fia came up with an idé last year that you should do atleast one new illustration a day, and since I'v
e been sick and soo boored this weekend I decided to do that... This one is of my friend Anna and her husband Max at their wedding a month ago... (Click on the image and it will look much better :D)

Spermaharen

Sat through the longest train trip from Uppsala to Stockholm today... not longer than usual refering to time I actually spent on the train, it just felt like that. It's always ...hmm... interesting to have someone unknown snoring in your ear and basically sleeping on your shoulder... well well

In school we had a lecture by our CEO Mattias Hansson. He has apparently done ALOT! For example Spermaharen(you know by Killinggänget?), Zmag@zine, etc etc.

I wish I had the energy to start some new project or learn something new but I'm just tooooo tired, hopefully I'll get the energy up 'til next week...

Good Night

Hyper Island

Hyper Island told us new students to start our own blog... so I did...

Today we had two really interesting lectures. The first was by Jonathan Briggs, who is one of the founders of Hyper Island and the owner of theOTHERmedia(
TheOTHERmedia), and the second was by Tony Högqvist from Perfect Fools.

Jonathan Briggs was talking about the future of Digital Media, what is expected from us as new students at Hyper and Googles impact on the world etc. It was a really interesting lecture! Google scares the shit out of me now!

Tony Högqvist held the second lecture today. He was really inspiring and enthusiastic! It was a thrill to listen to him and to be able to see Perfect Fools work. They´ve made some cool things for Samsung and Saab. Check out their site:
Perfect Fools

That´s about it... by the way visit
