Stock Footage Designer - WEB

The Stock Footage Designer (SFD) is a web-based presentation-tool, which centres around the unique and individual creativity of each user. First-time-visitors are met by a guided instruction and a tour-video, providing an example of the astonishing visual power that SFD holds. SFD functions in a browser-window, which, split into pieces, consists of a large black background acting as a 'canvas' for the eventual presentation, and a smaller white box providing two search-fields; one for a sound-feed, the other for a video-feed. While the sound-feed streams audio from Youtube, the video-feed streams footage from the online stock-image/footage giant; Shutterstock.com. Once desired audio track has been found, for instance a piece of music or an annual product speech, the user can start adding appropriate footage found trough the video search-field. Each video appears below the white search-box, in small windows which, across the canvas, are draggable while also being rescale-able and close-able by double clicking.

Elementary - Font design

The font is based on two kinds of shapes: the circle and the line and various degrees in-between: quarter circle, half circle, three quarter circle, a dot, a short line, a long line etc. These very basic geometrics shapes a modular system that configure in a fixed frame, constituting a so called mono-spaced font. All geometric shapes was cut into stencil-forms, and by painting trough the stencils a physical construction and continuous, tangible experimentation of the font emerged.
