Mediagraphic Designer at your service
Today I graduated as a Mediagraphic Designer after my almost four year long apprenticeship at Ritzaus Bureau, and I’m feeling a bourgeois urge to give a free dance. (I learned that word watching Fraiser!)
Check out my portfolio, and feel free to pass it on to anyone you might know, who’s in need of a young creative guy with gumption and cravings for new challenges!

I love Fraiser and Niles:
Niles: Well, there’s room at Roz’s table.
Frasier: No! I find her cousin Jen just a bit judgmental for my taste. Yesterday she told me my show was bourgeois. I pointed out that anything that had mass appeal could be said to be bourgeois. She then said that my argument was bourgeois. Which I found to be jejune.
Niles: People in their twenties are always like that. The world is so daunting at that age. They comfort themselves with the idea that everything’s just trash. We were like that in medical school. Acting as if we were above it all, smarter than everybody. It passes.
Feeling orange
With the ticket now covered, I can finally look forward to this year Roskilde Festival, YAY! I can’t wait to be in the sun in front of The Orange Stage with a cold beer, surrounded by friends, freaks and happy people! Excited to see you all!

A perfect match
I’ve had oh so many lousy cappuccinos in Copenhagen, that I over time have started ordering cortados or americanos instead (these can be done horrible as well). So I guess I needed this to remind me how beautiful and delicious a cappuccino can look. It’s art in a cup, the machine is amazing, and his skills are an absolute perfect match.
This video is the last in a series of 3 which takes place at Intelligentsia Coffee in Venice, California. The D4D are portraying passionate enthusiast doing what they do best.
An original web series that profiles individuals who have the amazing ability to stand out and create something passionately original. Their drive and expertise often reinvigorates something familiar into a newly minted phenomenon.
I will go out and find a place where they will be able to serve me a decent cappuccino, which I so much need after this.

How to become a good Graphic Designer
I just finished a small course in typography and calligraphy lead by a mentor of mine, Steen Andersen, who is teaching at Copenhagen Technical Academy. In a few weeks I’m graduating as a Mediagraphic Designer, and it made me wonder: What is the most important things I have learned these past four years? Have I become more sure of my choices as a designer? More critical?
One of the most important thing I have learned, is that every designer should be able to argue for the choices he makes. Only by experience, hard work and education I will be able to do so. This will be my mantra. Well, it might just sound a bit trite, but I have learned, that graphic design solutions often are based on an intuitive feeling or a premonition. At least it should always be followed by a well argued reason. I say; don’t excuse your lack of knowledge by calling it ‘art’, call it well argued design – with a personal touch.
Funny thing is that, just as I asked myself these questions, I stumbled upon a couple of interesting interviews with skilled designer from all over the world, discussing questions every designer should consider answering themselves.
The next couple of weeks I will post the interviews I found most inspiring.

New thinking
I think I have seen my share of video projections, but this one is without question the best! It’s a horizontal and vertical 3D video projection for Hyundai Accent campaign “New thinking. New Possibilities.” Can you imagine witnessing something like this on eg. City hall in Copenhagen? I would go buy the car the next morning. Mind blowing.
Long time no see friends.
