ÍSOR

Egill Harðar — Thu, 06 May 2010 22:00:42 +0000

As it says on their new website I designed and was recently launced “Iceland GeoSurvey is a leading provider of scientific and technical expertise to the geothermal industry in Iceland and abroad. We offer consulting services worldwide on most aspects of geothermal exploration and development.”

Here are three layouts from the original design.

Orkan

Here we have two different designs I did for Orkan, a low-cost oil company. I thought it would be fun to include the first layout proposal to give you a glimpse of where the project might have headed had it not been for the compromise reached by the famous “design by committee” method of design. Some would argue however that the end result wasn’t all that bad.

What do you think?

VR : The Commercial Workers Union

Egill Harðar — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 15:32:50 +0000

I’ve designed the last two websites for VR, the Icelandic commercial workers union. What we’ve got here are the original layouts I did for the current site. It’s a grid based design with soft creamy color scheme that has a hint of brown in it. “Warm and inviting” they said and I duly delivered.

Reykjavík University

These are the original layouts I did for the Reykjavík University a while back with my good friend Hrafn Áki. The university wanted content heavy pages both for the front page and each department page. Each department page also had it’s own color scheme. I think we did OK.

Eskill website

Egill Harðar — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 15:00:26 +0000

I worked for Eskill as lead webdesigner for close to four years. One of the most challenging and fun projects I worked on while there was the company website. As any designer knows, creating your own or your companies website is one of the hardest challenges one faces. Add to that the overwhelming red color of the site and you have a lethal combination. Thankfully, I managed to pull it off and created what I consider one of the most interesting corporate websites any web design firm has had in Iceland…ever!

Datamarket website and branding

Egill Harðar — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 14:42:34 +0000

DataMarket is a data aggregator, helping companies to fulfill their data needs. I designed their logo and website some months back. The logo may just have been the toughest one I’ve had to design to date. My brief was to design a logo that showed “blocks of information falling into a data grid”. How ’bout them apples?

I think I did a pretty good job of it. What do you think?

Borgun website

Egill Harðar — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 14:18:06 +0000

These are the original design layouts I did for Borgun, a company that provides services to merchants and processing services to issuers of credit and debet cards on the Icelandic market. My mission for this project was to create a detailed rich interface based on a simple grid. The outcome resulted in one of the juiciest website designs I’ve done, methinks.

ÍMARK website

Egill Harðar — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 14:29:52 +0000

Here’s the original layouts I did for ÍMARK (The Association of Icelandic Marketers) last year. This is a grid based design with neatly defined call to action features on the front page and a content heavy footer. I was pleased with the outcome and especially the use of typography and warm and inviting color scheme.

Please note that Seth Godin has nothing to do with ÍMARK or any events held by the association.

FL Group

Egill Harðar — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 16:12:05 +0000

2007 seems like a long time ago. That year will probably be forever know in Iceland as the year capitalism went berserk and drove the country into medieval recession. One of the companies, who’s star shone the brightest that year, was the infamous FL Group.

I was lucky enough to get to design the company’s site. It was a fun and ambitious project and the result is one of my best designs. Sadly, the site’s presence online was short as, soon after going live, FL Group changed it’s name to Stoðir and published a new corporate website in the process.

Actavis corporate website

Egill Harðar — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 15:27:05 +0000

Designing the Actavis corporate website is by far the biggest, longest and most extensive web project I have worked on. Just designing the navigation took almost a week. All in all I think I design somewhere around 200 – 250 individual pages, info-graphics and special information features. One of the best projects I’ve worked on.
