Concept: Telescope DSLR

spyglass-dslr

You know those old school telescopes/spyglasses often used at sea? Well, imagine if one took the design and functionality of such a spyglass and turned it into a DSLR! Wouldn’t that just be the most awesome gadget ever? I took the time to sketch out the concept in a little more detail. I imagine this to be a very simple camera with very few but great features. Obviously the optical zoom is very large. Built in memory (30 GB+), so you don’t have to mess around with SD cards. Transfer data via cable or Bluetooth. Feel free to comment and throw in some ideas if you’ve got any.

Sketches

my-pencil-case

Some random instruments from my pencil case. Don't mind the proportions, it's just fun and games :) Lyu gave me some nice POSCA markers for our 2 1/2 year anniversary. Way cool!

back-and-forth

Well, It's pretty difficult for me to come up with something meaningful to say about these type of sketches. They're sort of the result of a temporary malfunction of my brain I guess haha.

This is the final poster. Below you'll find a description of how this 70 x 100 cm print was created.

Not too long ago, Jens Raunkjær Christensen and Jonas Drotner Mouritsen finished the short movie Connected. In connection with that (pun intended) they asked my friend Anders Baden Nielsen and myself, if we would design a poster for the movie. Since they’re good friends of ours and because the project seemed quite interesting, we said yes.   Full Story

Connected poster: Mockup

connected-poster-01
This film poster is a work in progress. Jens and Jonas directed a short movie entitled “Connected“, and hired Anders and I, to create a poster for the movie. I’ll be making the illustration, and Anders “type genius” Nielsen will be the typographic supervisor. It’s going to be an awesome poster! Heavily inspired by that old 20’s / 70’s movie poster style (which, by the way, totally kicks ass!). Jonas also blogged about this mockup. Read his post right here.

More bike planning!

So, yesterday I called up EsimeX (Evald) to clear out some questions. I wanted to know why they discontinued production of the foldable Joker-bike. Explanation: they found that the majority of their customers went for the non-foldable version, so why bother producing something they don’t want. Fair and square :)

I also asked if it would be possible for them to ship my bike in a different color than its standard blue. Fortunately it is possible, so I’m gonna go with nothing less than OFF WHITE / CREAM :p They need a RAL color code on that one, and I found that by using a Color Converter app on my mac. It’s got the RAL code of 9001 (who would’ve though, hehe).

I did a lot of research on the saddle, and settled for a BROOKS B67 Aged Brown. BROOKS is an English brand with a lot of tradition. Take a look here for more info. This particular saddle has got the right vintage feel to it that I’m looking for. It’s going to look stunning on the bike! I’ve even found a pair of BROOKS handle bars that match.

This is how the bike will hopefully look like when it’s all done:

I sure would like the stear to be metallic instead of black though...
