Two of the Cmykkel girls did a design job for the Academy of Fine Arts in Trondheim. Here is the process of brush and color palette to the finished design.
This water color palette has not been used since the sixth grade (about 15 years ago) but it still works.
As you can see the letters is based on the typeface Umbra from 1935. Beautiful shadows of letters in water paint.
Now these letters were scanned and played whith inside the magical world of Photoshop.
The letters were even vectorized and tried out with different patterns.
But that was a dead end for this project. And now to the final design that won the rounds of the creative selection process…
…and if you are in Trondheim this saturday 7th of May 2011, please consider to visit the opening exhibition of this years graduate students at the Academy of Fine Arts. Visit the website for more information.

Google images was nice enough to introduce me to these beautiful handmade posters from Belgium. They are posters for an exhibition made by the participating artists themselves. I’m guessing it’s some kind of adhesive paper / tape in glorious neon red and green they’ve used. Gotta love it.
Found these refreshing books on Boooooooooom and Today and Tomorrow and Flickr. The artist is Isaac Salazar. Fan-freaking-tastic! Click the links if you like, there are more of this folded sweetness.
I was looking through my archives today and stumbled upon this typographical piece I did in 2009. And since I found it, why not share it with you guys.
My friend Cecilie Ellefsen is one of my favourite illustrators out there (and her boyfriend is a killer on 3D). She works with the skilled crew at Commando Group, and has her personal site Happy Meat. On her own site, she reasontly added a sketchbook section. I´m loving it. Her Moleskine is filled to thr rim with sweet and lovely illutrations. And of course type treatment. Be a quick brown fox and jump over to her sketchbook and have good, long look. While your at it, check out the Commando Sketchbook as well. Peace.
Found these lovely bikes on Behance. I know it´s winter outside, and bikes perhaps is not the first thing you think about now days, but they where sweet. So I wanted to share them with you.
While walking around in Berlin i stumbled upon this incredible wall art in the shop of Esther Perbandt (a bag designer). The street-artist-turned-straight-artist Jaybo Munk is the creator behind the display which is made all by scrap wood and measures 3m x 3m. It was made especially for the autumn/winter collection, so if you want to have a look at it you’d better hurry! And you should, because these pictures don’t do justice to the art work at all. The shop is in Mitte (Almstadtstrasße 3).
I´m an Art Director at Tibe T advertising agency. I got that job recently, and my first job here was to make a logo for the musical Rock ´n Roll Wolf for Trøndelag Teater. The musical is based on the movie Mama. The lead characters is a goat and of course the wolf. And everything goes down in the forrest. My friend and work mate Aasmund suggested that I should go for a walk in a forrest. So to make the logo, I went to the forrest and found some tree bark. So the typography was made with bark. Here is the prosess:
Meny, a norwegian supermarket chain, surprised me today while I read the news paper. In the news paper Meny had a standard advertisement paper (product + price). But on the front page of their paper they had some fantastic carved type. The rest of the layout wea crap, but that type was a piece of heaven. (I don´t know who did it. Do you?) Enjoy:
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!
