SEBASTIAN RAMN
LOCATION: Karlskrona, Sweden
AGE: 21
SPECIALISM: Illustration and graphic/web design
WORKS WITH: Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, After Effects, Painter and, occasionally, Top Style
There is such a wealth of talent coming out of Sweden’s Hyper Island media school that it’s hard to know where to begin. Ramn of Crew 12 (the school’s 12th graduating class) caught our eye with his bold portfolio site, which includes print design, motion work and digital illustration. We particularly loved his piece called Grown from Concrete, which combines digital painting with photography to create a really fresh style.
It’s interesting to see an individual who combines a more painterly style with design. “I sketch and draw a lot with pen and paper,” he says, “using a range of techniques, from plain pencil and ink to water-based paint and my precious Wacom Intuos A4.”
Ramn is on the school’s Digital Media programme and at the time of writing is looking for a placement for Autumn 2007. He draws inspiration from “Scandinavian landscapes and Norse mythology”, and cites Swedish illustrator Peter Bergting as a major influence.
