Bo Aakerstrom Graphic Designer

Hi, it's Bo here!

I'm a graphic designer. Although I have many years experience in the industry, both as a designer and a photographer I am still learning and experimenting.

It is always good to move on and expand the horizons.

While you are here, take some time to discover what I do, both on this site and some external websites.

Oh, no - we are losing all our lobsters. Who can help us now!?

I might never be able to stop a lobster leak on a space station even though I have a broad skill set

I do focus on front-end web design, micro-sites, icons, and images.

In spite of WordPress powering a large portion of the web today, there is still a need for hand coding - in particular for promotional websites where there is more importance on a well crafted outcome than the convenience a CMS affords the client.

I also do page layout, product packaging, and other print projects as well as branding and wayfinding system design.

I'm quite social

Although I do use these platforms to showcase what I do I also post other things that interest me in some way from time to time.

Check out what I mean and follow me if you like what you see:

Posting a poster

Or a part of it at least! The outcome of a project called "Meme" - and the humble hash symbol has become one in its own right.

Simple is hard. It doesn't get much simpler than this - the symbol isn't even there!

It is still useful, as a tangible reminder of who you are and what you do.

Make it memorable and a conversation starter.

There are many intriguing theories about the universe we live in.

I used one that I really liked as my inspiration, where it is expanding like a rubber band and it will eventually start retracting again.
