excerpt from graduation project.
Luftslott is Under Construction
Open call posters for Luftslott's third issue. Graphic (re)design and concept development. Luftslott is a magazine for visual and text based art, led by Agnes Nebrelius. Posters designed and developed around the idea of "under construction", showcasing the designer's (my) indecisiveness.

Illustrated poster for student union breakfast club. Organised with Måns Horning.Tyda
Hand assembled poster and cell animation. The project and its process was created through research on the concept of 'Folkhemmet'. On the topic of Swedish identity, there are countless parallell interpretations and connotations. Tyda aims to visualise this process, being redefined, again and again by different actors and authors.
The project was exhibited at the show Ett hem in Vandalorum art museum. The poster was assembled with laserjet print on post-it notes, overlapping and creating trails and layers of meaning.
Designed in collaboration with Maja Ringsäter and Måns Horning.
70x100 cm poster.
There is no such thing as magic
There is no such thing as magic is a collaborative project about AI and its societal and environmental impact. The visual identity was designed to reflect and communicate the work of scientific researchers at the Beijer Institute and encourage reflection on the realities of generative AI, for example its environmental and social impact. The project was exhibited at Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm, 2024.
Designed and produced in collaboration with Maja Ringsäter and Solvej Jansson.
