Kongsberg Digital x Microsoft : Check out these Daily Renders from the Project

Friends,

just to give yo an idea what kind of visuals you will learn how to create in the upcoming part 3 of the new tutorial series:-).

Kongsberg Digital x Microsoft : Project Breakdown Part 02

I could also call this video something like "How to present your daily work in a structured/fun way to your client" or just..."How to make your client feel save and happy" haha.

Well, a big part of the fun with clients for me is to present my ideas/results, and therefore miro or milanote is a good tool.

Check out this video to see 3 days of work in a real-life client project and just get an idea on how a typical project could turn out.

Kongsberg Digital x Microsoft : Project Breakdown Part 01

Friends,

Sorry for keeping you waititng for fresh content! I was lately involved in some cool client projects, but finally on the upcoming Monday 14th October I´m back on patreon!

And since I´m very into the whole "Microsoft and Design" topic, I´m happy that I got the chance to be involved in a project for Microsoft (actually two, but lets focus on this one first).

Thinking about October´s Content! More Studies of Microsoft Design?

Friends,

Besides my current client projects, I´m of course thinking / making-plans about October´s content for you guys!

As you might have noticed, I´m a big fan of all the beautiful animations word-class studios do for microsoft design. And right now, I am very into what https://notreal.tv/ is doing!

Check their instagram, it´s almost too much design beauty for me to handle haha.
