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!
Working on a little something for the AD class at NKF. Hope they are as happy about type as I am, hardly, :-)
Just had to post this. I will look at it every time I´m stressed out. This makes me go; Ahh. Bigger picture
Sweetest job hiring ad I´ve seen in a while (ever?). All the temp agencies (Manpower etc.) have something to learn.

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!

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? :) )
Wenche from OnionMag guided us, via Twitter, to this site. 15 great examples of artworks based on typography. Here is some of my favorites:

This one is quite funny. And I might ad it´s a t-shirt. Source.

Yup. There you have it. Once again Congrats with the prize, Sami!
Sami from Underware won the award for Finnish Graphic Designer of the Year 2010. Hope we see you soon in Trondheim.

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!
Some of our favourites for your pleasure
