My friend and artist Bjørn Kowalski Hansen (one of the co-founders of the legendary t-shirt brand and art project Håkki™ (check out the super cheesy and fun intro on this site) ) has some sweet art projects going on. I went through some of his work, and stole the type relevant pictures. (sorry Bjørn) If you like these pictures, please visit Bjørn here. There is loads of this over at his site. Enjoy!
I´m really looking forward to seeing this movie: Typeface. From the site - “Typeface focuses on a rural Midwestern museum and print shop where international artists meet retired craftsmen and together navigate the convergence of modern design and traditional technique.” Mmmh! We´ve posted the Typeface trailer before, but now they have made some sweet posters to:
Slippery and hot. Lifelounge Magazine has not only cool typo inside their mag, oh no, their covers are also sweet bites for your eyes. I recommend that you check check check them out and bookmark the site or subscribe to the magazine.. Here is some samples:
Evbjorn tweeted about this amazing project; The Apphabet. A font composed out of existing iPhone App icons. Freaking lovely! The concept is by Ine Reijnen, and the design is by the different app-makers. You can even download it and have some geeky fun. I did.
(btw: check out the number “2″ in the apphabet… seen it before? :) )
Since Trond Aslak posted this post today, I thought that I could post som pictures from when Sami was in Trondheim in the name of type. He held a workshop and a lecture. Then we took him out for a beer.
Yup. There you have it. Once again Congrats with the prize, Sami!
TTC (Trondheim Type Club) started out in 2008 by Aasmund Hegglid and Trond Aslak Øvrum. The idea was made in 2007 as something we missed in our town. A breeding place for type-fanatics.
We are now a group of people with relations to the design/advertising industry in Trondheim, Norway.
We all have passion and love for typography, and want to share our ideas, inspirations and knowledge with everyone. Kern or die!
