Inspired by Iceland

Yeah, so…the blog is back up after a little downtime. My domain expired and for some reason my renewal kept getting rejected.

This whole thing kinda made me lose my momentum but hopefully I’ll get back to full force blogging mode over the holiday’s. Expect some quality music, more yummy design showcase’s and some thoughtful musings on social media.

Until then I’ll leave with this picture of my youngest, Veigar Lár.

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.

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.

These are the original website layouts for home improvement super store EGG. Recession has all but forced the store out of business and it is now only and outlet somewhere with one employee. Nevertheless, though my shiny, dark, minimalistic designs lived a short life online, I thoroughly enjoyed making them.

These are the original layouts I did for Icelandic investment company Askar Capital while at Eskill. Clean, minimal, typographical grid based design never fails.
