Cloudania
We as the Interactive Art Direction class built our own digital nation to keep in touch while we all went our separate ways. We declared ourselves Cloudanians living up in the cloud.
We could see each others tweets, favorite videos, links, pictures we took, and music we listened to. All automatically added in real time. Which is super cutting edge and damn social.
By using various social media APIs we were able to e.g. see our locations via Gowalla and Foursquare on a Google Map, see what our favorite song was or find out who was the Facebook junky of the week was.
The Citizen page showed all the info a visitor needed to get a personal look into our lives, from our place of birth to our latest tweet.

Raise The Odds
Millenium Promise came to Hyper Island for a solution how to better communicate their goals and letting people donate money. We developed a smartphone app that did exactly that.
Every Odd you create, is different, based on how you threat it, how happy it has been and how much food it got.
Right before your Odd gets born, you can take a last picture of you and your Odd, and save it in your gallery.
Once your Odd is out in the real world, it will once in a while send you an e-mail informing you on the missions Millenium Promise is executing.
This app simulator lets you explore how the smartphone app would work. Click on the image to start it.

IKEA Homepage
IKEA wanted to be assured they would still be as profitable in 10 years as they are now. We developed a tool that introduced them into social media, and would keep them there without doubt.

Swedish Armed Forces
DDB Stockholm asked us to come up with a new identity for the Swedish Armed Forces.
We developed a corporate identity symbolizing trust, reliability and authority.
We have stationaries both for internal and external communications. Stickers have the form of a piece of the Tangram, and used to close the envelopes or write adresses.
The website gives a more computer-feeling, with a news ticker keeping us up to date on their international missions, and having their social media easy accessible in the top right corner.
