As a part of the marketing team at Karnov Group I created the new logo for this scandinavian company. The company is former known as Thomson Reuters Professional in Scandinavia, but was during the spring of 2011 acquired by the London-based company GMT Communication Partners.
The work continues with creating a new graphical profile for the company during fall 2011.
Nonstop Entertaiment asked me to create a poster for the documentary about El Bulli – the famous Michelin 3-star restaurant in Spain.
Three-star chef Ferran Adrià is widely considered the best, most innovative and craziest chef in the world. In his kitchen, that which was once familiar disintegrates. Each year his restaurant El Bulli closes for half a year – time for Adrià and his team to retire to his Barcelona cooking laboratory to create the new menu for the coming season. Anything goes – except copying oneself.

I made a big banner campaign for Granit this summer. It was published on Aftonbladet.se – the biggest newspaper in Sweden – and changed every week.
Granit wanted to show the possibilities of their products for the spring and summer of 2011. It was all about being outside, to make the urban space more green and worth spending time in.
The result was a campaign in the subway in Stockholm and ads on busses in other cities in Sweden.
