Before becoming a student at IDEA School of design I had no idea what to expect, but I couldn't be happier with the outcome! Things definitely come at your fast in the program and expectations are high but, with the support of fellow classmates and designers things feel a bit more manageable.
Moodboard by Nisa Hansen (IDEA Grad 2023)
“The assignment: Create a mood board visualizing your Passion, Super Power, Values, Purpose and differentiation (students can use any medium for this).
The goal: To have students think clearly about how to imagine themselves as a brand and use their final self-portrait as an expression of that. This becomes one of the more interesting projects, since it happens near the end of class and students are now comfortable enough with the camera. I get some very interesting work.”
Self portrait photography assignment: Since I was a kid I've always felt a connection between art and fashion from the 40’s and 50’s, even today I collect vintage fashion magazines and comic books and love to go antiquing in my free time. I feel like this is definitely a side of my personality not many people know and I wanted to take this opportunity to really go all out!
Logo Design Project by Nisa Hansen (IDEA Grad 2023)
For this piece I was tasked with creating a logo for a fictional company. I chose to do a company that specialized in dancing shoes for burlesque dancers and the colours were inspired by vintage shoe catalogues.

This was one of my first larger acrylic paintings and I decided to paint a stack of honey-glazed doughnuts because who doesn't like a good ol’ honey-glazed doughnut?

Dessert-inspired character digital illustration by Nisa Hansen (IDEA Grad 2023)
When doing some research for another assignment I stumbled across a lot of strange 50’s Jell-O dishes one of which consisted of lime Jell-O, whipped cream and pineapple and this character is inspired by all the elements of that dessert.
