Stock Footage Designer - WEB

The Stock Footage Designer (SFD) is a web-based presentation-tool.
First-time-visitors are met by a guided instruction and a tour-video, providing an example of how the tool works.

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 video-clips from the online stock-image/footage giant; Shutterstock.com.

Once a desired audio-track has been found, for instance a piece of music or an annual product speech, the user can start adding appropriate video-clips found trough the video search-field. This is done by searching one or several 'tags' such as; 'happy' 'dancer' 'jumping'. It is possible to add multiple videos.

If available the searched video-clip appear below the white search-box, in a small window which, across the canvas, is 'moveable' while also being 'rescale-able' and 'close-able'.

Collected these options allows the user to compose/design a fluid, interchanging presentation responding to the audio.

Elementary - Font design

This typographic project was conducted during a 3-week-workshop. The result was font based on two kinds of geometry: 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 parts shapes a modular system that configure in a fixed frame, constituting a so called mono-spaced font; a font in which each letter has a fixed-width.
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.
