I added one piece to my portfolio. This is a concept I worked on during my final project at Hyper Island. You can read more about it here. It’s funny that I just realized that this would be a perfect run for GoldRun. So when we launch in Europe, I think this would be a great idea for the same client…
I just realized that before I came to my internship at GoldRun I actually created a run! My group and I created a game for one of our clients during the final project at Hyper Island where people would go to different check points that would lead them to a release event. How cool is that. I’m updating my portfolio now, so soon you will see what I’m talking about.
It’s time for the Final Project presentation and I’m having mine from home over Skype. I have only been away from Hyper Island for four days, but honestly I miss it already. I miss my classmates alot. It’s been some good five weeks and I got really good response for the work I have done.
Here is another photoshop illustration I created. I really like the simplicity and the colors in this piece. I wanted to have the woman in focus, at the same time I wanted the piece to be somewhat playful.
Here is a piece I have worked on in Photoshop. I’ve been playing a little with outer glow, messed with the background a little, and put some details on the girl. Turned out pretty good for the amount of time I spent on it.
It is November and this will be a busy month. I have three more weeks on the final project before the presentation, I will move from Karlskrona, and I will start my internship at Tronic in New York. Very exciting things.
Below is a breakdown on the important dates.
4th – Lecture with Pixar
5th – Hyper Cruise
8th – Flight to Stockholm
9th – Appointment at the Embassy
13th – Leaving Karlskrona
17th – Presentation of final project
19th – Moving to NYC
22nd – First day at Tronic
I just got this invitation from Nina Amjadi and Ida Ragnarsson, who for their final project took the opportunity to create a goodbye-party for us in DM11KNA, but also to invite the other Hyper Island Karlskrona classes. We will have the party on the Stena Line’s new boat to Poland. This will be fun.
We just had our final presentation for LOKA. It feels great to show them our work and research. And the response and feedback was really good. In a few week we will know what/how they will use our material.
I been thinking about cleaning my computer for a while now. And I have tried, but all the folders and documents still felt like a big mess. Then I thought about finally installing CS5 and some other programs, so why not upgrade the OS X as well. Yes, I still had Leopard. Not anymore though. Now I have Snow Leopard, CS5, and Cinema 4D R12. I’m still trying to get Maya 2011, but it seems more tricky than I though. Well, I’m now ready for my final project, part II.
I have started my Final Project at Hyper Island, and here is a little preview of what I will do during these five weeks. I will create some digital art, and to learn and explore new techniques I thought I could practice on the alphabet.
We are finally getting there. The Final Project really is a long module, and especially since we have gone back and forth about what our campaign should be about. Now we have decided to go with our first idea, the most obvious but also the best there is. Josue and Chris has been working on finalizing it, while Sandra, Ola, and I have been working on the strategy and the visuals that goes along with it. I think we are all happy to see that we are moving forward, and it brings some more motivation to the table as well.
First day back at Hyper Island, and we already got into groups and we got our client. I’m really happy with my group. For the next nine week I’ll be working with Ola Syse, Josue Motta, Sandra Svensson, and Christoffer Erneholm.
The client we got is LOKA, a Swedish sparkling water brand. We will also find a second client by ourselves. But it all feels very good. This will be a great Final Project.
