Latest work, Art direction/design and html/xml development. Got the brief from a small start up hotel to create their website, with the desire to inspire to spend a night or two on the Swedish country side. To experience the personality and uniqueness of both the hotel and its surrounding.
Been quite busy lately, working on a few projects, and I figured it was time to present my latest accomplishments. Photographer Micheal Sugrue contacted me in December, with the brief to design and develop his new blog, showcasing a various range of content divided into categories. The design is based on his existing Portfolio site. The task required a bit more advanced Wordpress coding than I’ve been doing in the past, so it was a very interesting project that I learn a lot from. As a complement to the blog I also created an html email Newsletter that’s going to be sent out to Michael’s clients, partners, etc.
On the note, I had a great time last night, meeting up with Michael for drinks, it’s funny kuz i’ve been doing some freelance work for him, but we’d never actually met. Since he was in London for work this week, he proposed to meet up. It was really nice and we had a bunch of interesting conversations. I Love meeting new inspiring people, and honestly, that doesn’t happen as often here in London as it did in back in SF. Made me miss SF, and Americans.
To better show my advertising and interactive work in my portfolio I took one week off freelance work and remade my whole portfolio. Let me know what you think. emelieivansson.com
Back from London, settle down in Stockholm for a while. Had a great time in London btw, was super sunny and springish.. no more to tell yet.. haha..
Yesterday and today I’ve been siting at Hyper Island here in Stockholm working on my Final project, sent out some emails to potential clients, and already got some interesting replies and meeting set up for next week. Pretty exciting. Also got a freelance work to bust out today and during the weekend, hella nice to get some fast cash. Overall, life is not in Cali, but still it’s kinda okay, I’m busy and I love that.
Not only with the module, also with the freelance commission for Mejeriet. Niklas called and needed to have the site online in only one weeks time.This meant I had to work with the group project during the days and with the website during the nights and the whole weekend as well.
They were going to have a youth conference were they was suppose to show the result in just a few days. Afterwards I realized that taking on so much work wasn’t such a good idea. For the reason that I worked all night and didn’t get that much sleep I had a really hard time focusing on the group project during the days. This of course affected the mood in the group in a bad way, I’m truly sorry for that.
During the weekend I spend all days and nights in school to finish up with the website. Working all nights in jail (the school, for those who don’t know, it’s an old jail) really freaked me out. It was very windy outside so it was these strange sounds all the time, but every time when I stopped my music to listen were it came from, it stopped. I was so scared. But the night after I made a flash motion with a watchdog that took care of me, so I didn’t have to be scared any more.
Anyway, here’s the link to the website if you’d like to check it out. Its not finished jet, but it’s a start anyway, and remember it my first flash-site. www.mejan.nu
