My name is Lasse Salling and I’m a senior graphic designer.
I live in Vedbæk, Denmark with my wife, daughter and son.

I have worked at Kailow – a printing house, DDB – an ad agency, at Tivoli Gardens and now I work at Subsero – a digital ad agency. I do graphic design and minor art direction, HTML5 banners, photography, advanced photo retouching and print production. I also have some experience with 3D visualisation and do some basic to intermediate motion graphics. Basically you can throw anything my direction and I’ll get it done. I’ve worked on small as well as big campaigns that have won both national and international awards.

In my spare time I’ve done plenty of application skinning and icon design back in the day, 3D visualisation and a little bit of motion graphics and personal and commercial photography. I’ve hand picked some cases in the Personal Work and Professional Work section to show the variety of things I do.

Other interests include photography, listening to music, watching movies and TV shows, going to concerts, enjoying fine dining, cooking plus I’m a gadget and tech enthusiast. After we’ve become house owners, I’ve taken a massive interest in gardening, so a lot of my time is spent fixing the garden after years of neglect from the previous owners. I watch a lot of tutorials to improve my skills and gain knowledge and stay ahead of my game. I’m fluent in Danish and English.

3D Visualisation

3D renders can be used for anything: icons for apps and websites, product visualisation, TV and film production and anything else you can imagine. I can model and sculpt in Maya and ZBrush and deliver a final still image or model – also for 3D print. If you need animation I have a partner in crime to finish the job.

Interface Design

The skins, icons, websites and banners in my portfolio shows a variety of styles and techniques that reveals a broad range of appealing looks I can create – whether it’s for computer software, websites, banners, mobile or tablet apps.

Photo & Print

Photo retouching is one of my major competences. I do retouching, color adjustment, cut outs, recreation of hair and general manipulations. I do stuff for print everyday as well – so any format, any job I can do.

Mad skills and bad skills

I use a range of various software on a daily basis. Some more than others. Some I know better than others.
Some I would like to know better, so I practice. I like using them all, well except Office.
