helloVARSKO! is history. The event was so smooth. People enjoyed the day from A to Z. VARSKO!, Kreativt Forum Trondheim and Grafill Trøndelag, helped us to unfold an amazing happening. Two great and inspiring talks from one of our favorite sweeds Robert Lindström from North Kingdom and Spanish designers Alex Trochut & Marta Cerdà.

Aasmund and Alex preparing the equipment. Soon the magic begins.

Robert going through the steps of the Adidas Teamgeist case. The crowd applauded every showreel he presented. Very cool.

Marta talking in living color.

Alex on how he made the font Neo Deco. Marta and Alex actually did they first ever talk together as a team at helloVARSKO! We recommend their talk to anyone, everywhere. People came up to us and said they was so inspired they had to run home to draw asap.

Both the swede and the spanish couple got a small present from us. A book by Norwegian photographer Rune Johansen, and a pair of jeans from local jeans brand Johnny Love.

After the talks, the movie and the barbecue, The Last Ninja played to an exited audience. Click here to see video.

Amazing Margaret Berger played with a full band. Super sweet. People danced till they spilled their beer on each other. Lovely.

If you missed out on our marvelous.

Holy Cow! Interactive Art Director and Co-founder of North Kingdom, Robert Lindstöm, aka Designchapel, is coming to helloVARSKO!.

We understand that you are shocked *the sound of jaws hitting the ground*. If your jaw did not hit the floor, it´s probably because you haven´t heard about North Kingdom or Designchapel. Well, you are in for a treat. Robert and the North Kingdom guys are one of the most innovating dudes around. For the second time the last three years, they are on the 2010 Creative 50 list. It’s a list where Ad Age and Creativity celebrate the year’s most inspiring thinkers and innovators (other people on that list: Lady Gaga, Daniel Ek, Michael Lebowitz and Spike Jonze and a 45 others…

In 2004 North Kingdom created Vodafone Future which became the worlds most awarded website that year.

Great concept and excecution on this branding project for onedotzero by Wieden + Kennedy London. By interacting with the audience they create a fluid and changing brand for onedotzero. Check it out!

I saw this movie a few weeks ago, and it had an almost perfect opening. You can`t go wrong with high speed cameras combined with exelent typography that reacts with its sorrundings.

Great illustrated and type treated little spot for Jack Daniels No. 7.
Made by Brand New School.

Nice use of signage in this movie by Jackie Lay.

Nice project from Colin Sebestyen on Vimeo on how to animate type with either Motion or After Effects. They’ve used Futura, and it creates live-like glyphs for each letter. You can download the projects to give it a go for yourselves.

Love this smooth playful type visual by Jorinna Scherl. Nicely done :) You will find more mork form Jorinna Scherle her.

For their bachelor thesis, Michael Flückiger and Nicolas Kunz made this exciting piece of work. They explored a system where a font is not displayed static, but dynamic and interactive. Very cool!

Test it for yourselves here.

I was amazed how much effort motion studio Motion544 has put into these main titles for the AICP Awards Show. Elegant and nostalgic feel from the old days of type.

See the movie here.
