Restrurante X is a high end, young and edgy restaurant focusing on delivering an amazing dining experience in Stavanger, Norway – or for those who just want to sit down for some exclusive drinks. I created the identity, as well as it’s own custom monolined typeface called “Resturante X Regular”, used in the logo and overall the identity. The identity uses both a emblem/seal logo and a regular logo and together with the strong yellow colour it creates a strong contrast.

Mix tapes typography
With the use of mix tapes I wanted to create a typographic series drawn with only one continuous line, per side of the tape. Mainly sticking to writing one word in one seamless line. This was an interesting challenge typographic wise and made the project quite fun to work with. Each of the posters and typography has it’s own style of music. Here is the results, inspired by the days of the cassettes and homemade mix tapes.

Snopp & Fisse
Snopp & Fisse are two different tees based on Swedish and Danish slang for… well, the private areas of boys and girls. I wanted to use awkward and funny slang words from scandinavia in a typographic setting for some tee designs. These t-shirts are released alongside my new online apparel store, so they are up for grabs!
The T-shirts, along others can be bought here: http://danielbrokstad.spreadshirt.com/

Some have been shown in the blog itself earlier, but this is the recap of the posters I’ve done in 2010. One of them being a completely new one:

Resist
Resist is the name of the RMIT Printmaking graduate exhibition of 2010, exhibiting the graduates in bachelor and honours. I designed both the catalogue and the invite to the exhibition, with the additional help from Tara De Pasquale who helped out a lot with communicating with printers, finding the right paper stock and keeping everything within the budget applied by our editor team with the printmakers.

Inferno
Inferno is a self promoting illustration journal, displaying and featuring my illustration work. It’s main theme is the first part called “Inferno”(hell), picturing sad and hurting feelings in combination of horrible visuals. The idea in technique was to combine the flowing paint together with hard and geometric lines as a contrast, where the geometric lines are “responding” to the illustrations. The book comes with a slip cover. The 2nd part of the book is called “Four eyed girls”, and as the title says, is all about girls with glasses.

Pixel
Pixel is a sub brand for Bambra Press, providing an online service for students to more easily put things to print instead of the tedious task of waiting in a queue only to print a few pages. The online service is called Pixel since it is a digital service but also because it’s digital print – which also makes it more affordable for students to use. The look of the logo is overall very cubistic/pixelated, but the touch of vibrant colours still make it stand out as being fresh.

Brain Juice
Brain Juice is a new healthy juice on the marked, but with a new approach! It’s aimed towards teens and young adults who usually consume a whole lot of coca-cola and other unhealthy drinks, and try to make them drink a healthy natural juice. Instead of making a pure and clean design, looking very fruity and fresh and healthy slogans… Brain Juice takes a different approach by being funny, raw and just strange! A guy is sawing his own head off while strangling himself on the package! That’s not normal? It’s brain juice crazy!

Alape Catalogue
A lot of work behind this one, but it’s finally done. Took a little longer than expected to get it up on the blog since I had to do the pictures of the magazine as well.
This catalogue is made for Alape, a high end bathroom needs provider. I chose not to go for the steriotypical blue colours in the magazine, I wanted to create a different mood and look for it. I pretty much went for the total opposite colour-wise. But since the colours are quite feminine, I gave it an overall masculine look to make up for it and not make it girly. So the end result is quite unisex.

Absolut Insanity / Madness
This is a fictional concept design for the Absolut Vodka range, adding a creative and mad and insane mix to it all. It comes in 2 different variations; “Absolut Insanity” and “Absolut Madness”. All over the bottle there are different figures and random things going on, always something new to read each time you pick up the bottle. I like the Absolut Vodka range and I always wanted to make my own version; here is my take on it:

KoRn CD Cover
Oh what fun! I wish I got to make CD covers more often, since this assignment was a lot of fun. I created a fictional KoRn album called “Genital Evolution”, and then played around with the name of the album to create something bizarre and crazy. KoRn is known for having a pretty abstract style to their music and CD covers, so without repeating what they have already done, I feel I created something that just as well have been the real thing since it suits their style.
