Disko — Cappelen Damm
—Animated Pixel Illustrations
Illustration, Animation, Character Design
Working with Cappelen Damm, a Norwegian publishing company, my partner Cody and I won the job of creating a series of animated pixel illustrations for their new online learning platform, DISKO.
DISKO is a tool for high schools to be used as part of the curriculum. The purpose is to deliver topics to students in a way that was relevant to them. Our job was to illustrate the math unit in particular.
Out with “Tommy has 57 watermelons…” and in with something more engaging to today's youth.
The inspiration came from point-and-click games from the 90s and retro pixel art aesthetics.
Final illustrations

This case is about navigating different sales deals to keep on top of what is actually a good deal for one's needs.
