Homepage redesign for the well known Blue Lagoon geothermal spa in Iceland. The goal was to make the home page more visually appealing and more alive.
All the areas on the home page are now clickable and interchangeable, whereas before the areas were static. Links to social media websites and a newsletter sign up box were also added, increasing the signup rate by roughly 1000%.
The redesign was launched fall 2010.
Before:
A logo for an Icelandic micro-loan service.
I designed a one page web site in 3 languages for a new company dealing in import/export. The web site is hand coded and I implemented SimpleCMS, since a full blown CMS seemed way too much here. SimpleCMS allows you to change predefined text and images on a web site, simple and sleek.

KvikkFix is a group of excellent guys that decided to open the first all-round auto service in Iceland. Their concept was similar to Jiffy-Lube in the US.
I was lucky enough to be able to follow them from the creation of the concept and all through the process until they opened their doors in autumn 2009. I designed their logo, chose their color palette and their overall company look. I was aiming for clean sophistication, something that would set them apart from the competition.

I designed the layout and coded this page for an Icelandic movie, written and directed by Valdís Óskarsdóttir. The CMS used is TextPattern. I absolutely recommend that you read the character info, it’s hilarious!
Graphic Design & Main Titles were created by Siggi Orri Þórhannesson & Sól Hrafnsdóttir (www.grafiksense.net).

I worked as a graphic designer for Icelandic outdoor clothing company Cintamani in 2008-2009. During that time I completed many challenging tasks when it comes to advertising and design. A part of my job was also to maintain the web store at www.cintamani.is.
The photo of the adventurous mountain climber was shot by Hemmi.
Below is the Cintamani Work Book with the clothing line for winter ’08-’09, a grand total of 139 pages. I shot many of the product pictures in that book as well as designing the overall layout, mostly in InDesign.
I designed this plexiglass point of purchase stand and the stickers for Cintamani’s line of special laundry detergent and fabric softeners, specially designed for their high tech fabrics:
This is the gift card for all Cintamani stores. The Viking graphic was designed by Örn Smári:
I was a web master for Reykjavik Excursions from 2006-2007 where I co-designed and launched a new site for the company. Unfortunately the site is not available any longer, this screenshot is all I got. But it was my first big project and I was proud of it so I feel I have to include it in my portfolio. It was built in Vyre and was connected to Navision so the day tour bookings would always be up to date. I added the day tour search that hadn’t been on their web site previously.
I also made one brochure for Reykjavik Excursions (not the typical web master project) and some flyers.
