Microsoft Windows 8 – Startscreen Artworks

Info

This summer I joined the great Microsoft Design team to create the key visuals for it´s latest version of the most used Software worldwide, Windows. 12 years ago when I started to create User Interfaces and Illustrations, Windows was my entry point to the discipline. And ever since it was my top of the list dream project to create the default Wallpaper.

In this project I would like to take you through our process and how we created an iconic design that fits the authentically digital design language of Windows 8. To clarify, I designed the Startscreen and Lockscreen background. All other motion and design assets belong to their respectful owners.

I am very excited to see my work being featured on Microsoft.com, the global launch events in New York, Shanghai, Berlin and awards from Fast Co Design, The Verge and many more. Here´s a selection of my favorite features.
