Hey! Welcome to Jovana's portfolio page. Check out some of her work.

Architect by training, everything else by vocation.
I'm an aspiring designer and totally in love with css animations (maybe you'll notice it down the scroll..).
I am a spider-web thinker (and proud of it), empathic in my nature and still learning to be patient. Dedicated digressionist (missed that, didn't you) I am a dedicated team-player, and really enjoy working in teams as that makes me verbalize my thoughts (which seams to be much less sparkling in the air than in my head, for some reason...)

Mountains reflecting in the fjord

From the competition Nescafe Azera tin

The illustration was an entry to the competition for Nescage Azera in may 2018. The competition brief stated that the design should reflect tase of the city, and thus the fjord and mountains as the inseparable part of any Norwegian landscape. The design didn't make it to the finals, but another one did, check it our amoung the projects.

Design awarded at the design competition for the new Nescafe Azera tin

Design was awarded 2nd place in Norway.
Nescafé company has announced a competition for illustrators and designers for the best design of Nescafé Azera coffee tin.
The theme for the competition was “Taste of the City“, and the competition took place in April, with winners announced in May 2018.
"People illustrated from a completely different angle, observed from the exact top of view help creating city wild atmosphere on a weekend morning when people have enough free time to roam and sit around, have coffee. It is a beautiful moment that has been captured in this design.” Pavel Fuksa, jury member. You'll find more info on the following link.

Entry for the SkillShare workshop - design the new icon set for SkillShare

SkillShare had invited to a workshop, with goal to make the new icon set for the SkillShare platform. Work started with two SkillShare classes that focus on icon design, and then it was up to each participant to make a proposal. The community was commenting and questioning designs and design decisions, and the work was then judged by a SkillShare team, who chose the winning design.
Design constraints were given in form of colours and stroke styles, and focus was put on pixel perfection, as the icons were to be videly used across printed and web material.
The icons were to depict 10 different actions - and I focused on each of those: what do they really mean, what do we (users) associate with the specific actions trained by years of internet browsing, and how do specific actions differ one from another, in what way are they actually different and what could nudge out attention to the correct one if we are looking at them side by side.
What I've enjoyed most working with the task, was the "save" icon. I wanted to do a little twist on the traditional floppy disc icon, and looked for another medium for storing data - one that's starting to be retro nowadays is a CD, and though it would be interesting to see if this one takes on. Then some other participants pointed out that CD could rather be interpreted as sound or music than as burning CDs with data, a.k.a. saving. This is why the final design uses USB as a depiction of the save action.

Oslo walking strategy, policy for increasing share of walking as a transport mode

The strategy for increasing walking in the city of Oslo was made in a collaborative process with various stakeholders.
One of the main findings was that while everybody speaks and listens to what the public as well as the officials are saying about cycling, walkability or walking at all are not on the agenda for the decision-makers. This of course means that there are no funds allocated for improving walkability, and thus it became one of the important goals in the development of the implementation strategy: put the walking on the political and policy agenda.

Dom-ino house (Le Corbusier) in perpetual recurrence

Illustration was printed in Arkitekten02 in 2017, and reprinted in Arkitekten01 in 2018, med tema ”Bedst og værst i 2017” (Best and worst in 2017).
Rikke Stenbro explores in the article the idea that the simple model as the famous Dom-ino house has facilitated mass-produced buildings and a more generic city. This, as a consequence, gave rise to increased interest for preservation as well as cultivation of monuments as the preferred category for building conservation.

Scanned page with the illustration

Graphic & web design for 'B-dent', a dentist practice

The client wanted to assert their pressence on the web, and thus needed a web page. Beeing a new dental practice, the client didn’t have visuals, brand or logo developed, and this turned out to be an important aspect of the work.
Jovana has developed graphic design components - colour pallett, logo, illustrations, as well as some simple coding in HTML og CSS. Check the website running here.

Graphic design for Green street, a street section design tool

Green street is thought as a simple tool for urban planners to build a street section, and as a spinnoff of streetmix.net, localised for Norwegian users and enriched with blue-infrastructure elements - i.e. water-infrastructure elements for managing stormwater runoff, which can inform and improve the design of the “above-ground” green elements.
I developed graphic design elements - the overall design for the websites components, while the complete website design is stil pending, the website currenly being unfinished.
