When the bear wakes up
We made this illustration while snowed up during the sluggish Swedish winter. By this time bears are wide awake, but summer is still lingering…

Comcastic Interface and animations
Our lovely friends at Unit9 contacted us to do an interface and come up with an art-direction that would melt with the lovely visuals for Comcast Town. By mixing the quirkiness of the campaign with our own love for everything that’s colorful, we created a clean and simple interface that will stick with the campaign forever. This site has already been awarded an FWA and we’re sure that it will keep rocking those award shows!

Everyone is getting one!
First we figured it was only Brüno who was getting a baby, but the we just found out that our beloved ex-unit9ers Athila & Sandra are getting a baby each (with different people mind you). Well done, both of you!

Growl!
How to bring Sasquatch to life in three easy steps (and make it dance, fight, jump…).
Helpful Strangers were lucky enough to be asked to come up with some sleek interface design for this very funny augmented reality experience!

A lovely scene
When we don’t do things for shiny coins and pirate treasures, we spend time doing lovely things. This is such a thing, a lovely landscape that might someday turn into a shoot-em-up-extravaganza. Or something completely different, we just don’t know yet.

Every spoonful brings you closer
Everyone knows how romantic it is to share a cup of ice-cream with their loved ones.
It’s just that one needs a reminder once in a while, especially as Valentine’s Day is approaching.
Unit9 asked our help to create a banner and eventually a tv campaign, so we put our hearts into this sweet sweet design, and it’s fireworks and a dance of intertwining sensations.

Sex, drugs and rock’n'roll
Unit9 created a super-cool video player to showcase the cheeky characters from the British tv series Skins. And they needed some minimalistic design to go with it and match the irriverent drama’s mood. It was a good challenge trying to feature the grunge look-and-feel and keep it minimal at the same time.

Splash!
Electrolux has a long history of caring about the nature and so do Helpful Strangers! So we were very happy when Great Works asked us to design this full-screen measuring cup. On the site you can see how much water you and the rest of Europe would save if we all would start using dishwashers instead of washing by hand. For example: if a single household in Sweden would use a dishwasher they would save enough water for 25 710,7 cups of coffee… We have a dishwasher here at Helpful Strangers and that happens to be the exact amount of coffee we drink every year.

Bam!
That’s what happens when you try to do something classic like a character surrounded by twigs and whatnot.

Rejoice
Today is a day of great rejoice since our Italian A-Team arrived!
Elena & Riccardo comes directly fresh out of the Unit9 oven in london and we will treasure them as our most precious. Expect to see some great work comming out! As soon as we manage to catch them on some kind of camera device we will parade them.
