Hi, I'm Sofie Hallor, a 19 year old girl from Linkoping, Sweden. I'm in my final year of an art education, focusing on traditional art. I do however have a huge interest in digital art and design, and I have knowledge in Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash and html (both raw coding and different editors, such as Dreamweaver). I'm considering applying to Hyper Island after highschool, since it seems to be exactly my cup of tea.
I've been a computer geek since I was a kid, I started making websites when I was 13, mostly just for fun because it seemed cool and I wanted to know how to do it too. My first project were of course quite hideous, but as my general sense of layout and knowledge increased, so did the looks of my sites. The only of my pages from back then that are still online is my The Ark fansite
Arkresource. It has of course gone through several redesigns before it turned into what it is now.
The first site that I did entirely for somebody else's purposes was
Garamond.se, which was also the first thing I ever did in flash. Garamond is a local advertising agency, where I worked for a couple of weeks last summer.
Right now, I'm working for a company called
Goldpen, and they hired me to design their website. It is quite simple, but simple is what they wanted, so I guess everyone's happy.
