Roskilde Festival is one of the worlds biggest music festivals and it’s based in Roskilde, Denmark. Basically it’s a site where people can talk about social innovations. How to improve the cleaning of the festival or maybe how to save as much power as possible? This is just examples of topics that can show up at Roskilde Social Lab. At the festival there is workshops where people can meet and talk about fun but still important things. Not only for Roskilde Festival but for the World.

My role in this project was to develop the website and a mobile version of it. I’m behind both the front-end and the back-end. There is a whole CMS built from scratch for the admins to update cases and challenges on the site. There is also connections to facebook such as comments and twitter feeds. This was a very quick job since we needed the site before the festival started. Around two weeks evening job.

Photos from the Roskilde Social Lab will be added after the festival.

For our class website we wanted to create a hype around it. We did secret sendouts to people in the digital industry with actual letters. It was a big secret and we wanted people to start talk about it. I wouldn’t say it was a huge success but people started talking.

In the third letter it was a link to our website and a password. When the user logged in with their personal password the logo of their company lighted up. You could also see other agencies that visited our site since their logo was lighted up.

My role
This was a part of the Marketing and promotion module so the whole class was idea developing. Me and a small group finalized then the idea. I was then one of the two developers of the site. Me and Henrik Porseland did all the Flash and I did all the back-end for it. John Karlsson and Alexander Gårdenberg was the designers for this site as well. This site was online for a month and the 15th of May we released our student directory with a great party at Sid Lee in Amsterdam.

This is our student directory from my class at Hyper Island, Karlskrona. We did this site during the Marketing and promotion module and the purpose of it is to promote us as students and learn how to work with the whole group of 36 students.

What is XV?
XV means 15 in roman letters.

Three years ago Hyper Island went from the numbered crew concept to labeling classes with abbreviations, ordered by completion year and location. This ended a fine tradition. A tradition in which we would have been the 15th crew, instead of our current label DM11KNA, Digital Media 11 Karlskrona.
We felt that the crew tradition carried a great brand value and we wanted to rebrand the crew concept and salvage some of the value, so we created the secret Hyper Island Order and the 15th Chapter.

Process
This project was a huge one with 36 guys involved, many ideas and thoughts at the same time, do’s and dont’s & pros and cons.
The whole class become later divided in to different groups.

My role
My role in the XV project was developer.
I was involved in the whole idea development phase as well. Me and a small group of people finalized the idea of the website.
In production we were only four guys working on the website. The designers; Alexander Gårdenberg and John Karlsson and the developers, me and Henrik Porseland. We did it all in Flash first, but since all the hype around the iPad I decided to create a HTML/Javascript version of it as well. I was also responsible for the back-end of the site. I did a small CMS for the site and connected it to the flash and html version.

I’m happy with the final result and I learnt a lot during this module. A lot of AS3, Javascript and of course group dynamics.

Hope you enjoy the site!
