I built a pinhole camera from my childhood memories and I used it to take pictures of childhood memories. The camera is built from things I had when I was a child, for example a shield, a clock and a stone. These things helped me relate to that time of my life. As stated above I then used that camera to take pictures of places that I used to play in when I was growing up. I presented five pictures all mounted on wood. The Pinhole camera was in the center. This was alot of experiment for me since I had never built a pinhole camera before. I'm really happy with the results and it's a really important project for me personally. <img src="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791226/bryggja_905.jpg" width="905" height="905" width_o="905" height_o="905" src_o="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791226/bryggja_o.jpg" data-mid="19726347" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791226/Skogur_905.jpg" width="905" height="905" width_o="905" height_o="905" src_o="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791226/Skogur_o.jpg" data-mid="19726350" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791226/tre_905.jpg" width="905" height="905" width_o="905" height_o="905" src_o="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791226/tre_o.jpg" data-mid="19726351" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791226/Camera_Front_905.jpg" width="905" height="905" width_o="905" height_o="905" src_o="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791226/Camera_Front_o.jpg" data-mid="19726348" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791226/Camera_Sides_905.jpg" width="905" height="905" width_o="905" height_o="905" src_o="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791226/Camera_Sides_o.jpg" data-mid="19726349" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791226/Screen Shot 2012-08-11 at 00.00.22_905.jpg" width="905" height="904" width_o="905" height_o="904" src_o="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791226/Screen Shot 2012-08-11 at 00.00.22_o.jpg" data-mid="20347642" border="0" align="left"/> This is my graduation project from the Icelandic academy of the arts.

It houses the life work of Icelands first scuplture Einar Jónsson. The museum wanted to update their website with the aim of bringing much more content to the people through the website, even content that isn't shown in the actual museum. Although the site was content heavy it was important to keep the website simple and easy to naivigate. What we wanted to do with the front page was to get people involved in the museum instantly. so we made a fullscreen image gallery that people could navigate front and back before beginning the journey to the website. This was designed in collabiration with alli metall. The website won best web design in the icelandic design awards and was one of three museums nominated to the icelandic museum awards. <img src="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791186/1 Front_905.jpg" width="905" height="767" width_o="905" height_o="767" src_o="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791186/1 Front_o.jpg" data-mid="19726164" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791186/2 Front_905.jpg" width="905" height="767" width_o="905" height_o="767" src_o="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791186/2 Front_o.jpg" data-mid="19726166" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791186/5text_905.jpg" width="905" height="767" width_o="905" height_o="767" src_o="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791186/5text_o.jpg" data-mid="19726172" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791186/4text_905.jpg" width="905" height="767" width_o="905" height_o="767" src_o="http://payload74.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3791186/4text_o.jpg" data-mid="19726170" border="0" align="left"/> The Einar Jónsson museum is a fantastic museum in the heart of Reykjavík.

It's printed on uv gloss paper to enhance the slick feel of the photos.

This one is about when he first met him and how it was getting to know them. A funny thing happens when you first meet a person and get to know them. First you don't see the whole picture and when you get to know them more and more they start to unfold in front of you. This book is based around that concept.

I got a story about a man who got cancer only 6 weeks after his daughter was born. I used that as an inspiration. I drew inspiration from his relationship with his new born daughter. He needed to get through this struggle and dark times to be able to watch her blossom and grow up. For me she was his guiding light through all of this.

The challenge was how to feature all of their different styles in a one cohesive look. We got each illstrator to draw a picture of a body part.

We then created our own version of the monster which we used for the promotional poster. <img src="http://payload73.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3766114/Phobophobia_Poster_905.jpg" width="905" height="927" width_o="905" height_o="927" src_o="http://payload73.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3766114/Phobophobia_Poster_o.jpg" data-mid="19586688" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload73.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3766114/Poster_detail_905.jpg" width="905" height="520" width_o="905" height_o="520" src_o="http://payload73.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3766114/Poster_detail_o.jpg" data-mid="19588059" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload73.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3766114/Catalog_front_905.jpg" width="905" height="819" width_o="905" height_o="819" src_o="http://payload73.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3766114/Catalog_front_o.jpg" data-mid="19588064" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload73.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3766114/Catalog_detail_905.jpg" width="905" height="603" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" src_o="http://payload73.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3766114/Catalog_detail_o.jpg" data-mid="19588167" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload73.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3766114/frontFirst_905.jpg" width="905" height="537" width_o="905" height_o="537" src_o="http://payload73.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3766114/frontFirst_o.jpg" data-mid="19589292" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload73.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3766114/sida1_905.jpg" width="905" height="665" width_o="905" height_o="665" src_o="http://payload73.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3766114/sida1_o.jpg" data-mid="19589076" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload73.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3766114/sida3_905.jpg" width="905" height="706" width_o="905" height_o="706" src_o="http://payload73.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3766114/sida3_o.jpg" data-mid="19589294" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload73.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3766114/card_detail_905.jpg" width="905" height="603" width_o="905" height_o="603" src_o="http://payload73.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3766114/card_detail_o.jpg" data-mid="19589219" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload73.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3766114/Catalog_back_905.jpg" width="905" height="833" width_o="905" height_o="833" src_o="http://payload73.cargocollective.com/1/0/671/3766114/Catalog_back_o.jpg" data-mid="19588067" border="0" align="left"/> This is a project for an illustration exhibition featuring over thirty icelandic illustratiors.
