Namnlös tillsvidare

Namnlös tillsvidare (Untitled until further notice) is a visual story in the form of illustrations and comics. The project has been a meta-project, where the narrative of the story is based on the creative process that created it. It all started with a writer’s block that I was stuck with at the beginning of this project. This led to me deciding that this problem could be the foundation of a narrative. How a design process and generating ideas may look like, all of its ups and downs. All of the comics and images are based on how I felt in the moment when I created them. Where I was emotionally, what I was thinking of, or things that worried me, then translated into a fictional world where I use metaphors. Thus turning the writer’s block into a source of inspiration.

In the story there is an idea-machine, a complicated machine that can create anything as long as you know how to use it. We also get to meet three characters that all symbolize different parts of a designer. One emotional problem solver, one critical voice that never gets satisfied, and one playful child. Together they have to find the best idea ever created, that has mysteriously disappeared.
