My name is Chris Lindhartsen and I'm a second year student at the Art Institute of Seattle working towards my BFA in Graphic Design. This is an example of my work, as well as some free exploration I've done.

    Portfolio, Revision 2 →

    Based upon feedback, I’ve revised my portfolio to be primarily one page. The links on the left move you throughout the page via. anchors, then my contact information is placed their plainly. The link to my Linked In profile provides the equivalent of my resume, though I will likely need to add that as well.

    Microsoft Calendar by =clindhartsen
This ended up being a piece I never turned in but actually felt achieved its purpose.
The original premise of this project was to create a promotional calendar for a client. As is presented, this was for Microsoft, communicating their efforts in a number of different arenas, as well as a number of their product lines.
The overall style of the work reflected the Microsoft’s (then) evolving Metro Design Language, utilizing tiles to represent the different pieces of the organization, as well as the iconography being reduced to flat, white elements to complement the tiles and present their well known brands.

    Our upcoming project

    Develop a dissenting viewpoint on current cultural, political, economic causes or issues present within the United States today. Advocate for your position through a series of three posters that identify and assert your viewpoint to a select or general audience.

    The topic that I’m finding more interest in is the wonderful mess of EULAs and Terms of Service. Need to cross it with some other faculty, per the teacher’s instruction, as well as research further, but I think that may be my topic.

    Do you own what you put into service X, Y, or Z?
