I worked as Creative Director at the Norwegian issue of Stuff magazine for a little over a year before the media downturn killed us off. The role combined production manager and designer, and my duties covered everything from adapting the mag to the Norwegian market and overseeing translation, to redesigning spreads and creating customs icons and illustrations. Fun while it lasted.

egmont
I worked as Art Director/Designer for Egmont for around 4 years. Egmont is a good place to get experience across a broad range of disciplines, and my duties covered advertising, mac operation, illustration, layout, books, product design, promotions, several magazine start-ups and numerous in-depth re-designs of established brands. My interest in the latter was the ultimate reason I left to help set up Stuff.

I've been writing music for years, and as such designing CD artwork for just as long. These days things are kept virtual but in the past I favoured strange printing stock, using everything from coarse recycled card to wallpaper. My debut album (the first image in this series) was something of a personal milestone as I created both the music and visuals.

Illustrations for my own t-shirts and russedress.no. Past work has ranged from changing existing work to creating custom illustrations and entire sets of icons.

In 2006 I ran, edited and designed Error Arts Magazine. Unfortunately it proved impossible to continue producing it, but two issues can still be downloaded by clicking on the images below.
