Client: Amore / Project: Snowflakes for Göteborgs Rapé Åre Edition / 2012
Agency: Amore / http://amore.se/
Project Manager: Lisa Palmberg
Senior Designer: Frans Emark
I was asked by Amore to create 5 digital snowflakes to accompany special winter edition of a famous Swedish Snus - The Göteborg’s Rapé. These snowflakes were used on the can itself and on other POS material - bar decorations, fridges and so on.
The naturally flavored Göteborg’s Rapé has a unique character that has helped it become the second largest snus brand on the Swedish market. Göteborg Rapé is often described as a fresh and flowery taste experience.
Åre is a ski resort up north of Sweden. That is why Göteborgs Rapé put on temporary winter coat. The frosty cans comes to stores in February, and disappears as soon as the snow turns into slush.

Personal Work / Koshino House by Tadao Ando / 2012
A series of 3D visualizations, personal work. Done as an exploration of space and light and its interaction with concrete surface.
“The house, by Tadao Ando for the designer Koshin, is a veritable maze of lights and shadows. Like Barragan, the architect seeks to reconcile the tenets of international modernism with tradition and landscape, in this case, Japanese. So, The House Koshin is an example of contemporary architecture built in two parallel wings that barely interrupt the landscape.”

New Zealand: Wanaka & Queenstown trip during Christmas 2011
During Christmas break me and my friend went for a short trip from Christchurch down South Island stopping at Lake Tekapo and Wanaka, before arriving to Queenstown where we spent New Year’s Eve. There’s only one thing to say - New Zealand is truly a magical and I can’t really recommend it enough - and of course South Island is much nicer than North Island ;)
Check out my Flickr stream or come down to New Zealand for your next holidays.

Personal Work / Miscellaneous / 2012
In order to become a better artist one must practice - so I have started a personal project creating one image in one week and these images are what I have created so far.
