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.

Beautifull movie. We posted a part of this project a while ago. But this movie puts it all in perspective. Love it.

Holy Cow! Interactive Art Director and Co-founder of North Kingdom, Robert Lindstöm, aka Designchapel, is coming to helloVARSKO!.
A few days ago we booked the last band for our event. We were suppose to revile the name of the band next monday, but we can´t wait. We´re to eager to tell you about our beautiful booking. The Trondheim located, Binary pop playing band, The Last Ninja is the pixel-topping on the cake.
The Last Ninja is a band who makes their music with, among other things, old Nintendo machines. They are fast. They are visual. The rumor on the street tells us that they will bring some really sweet graphics to raise their show to a higher level. An unlocked level. We hope you have a secret extra life, because this is going to be a toll for your dancing shoes.
While you wait, see this music video ten times in a row.

helloVARSKO! gets better for each day. Yay!
Found this sweet type experiment on Youtube.
From the makers:
“The results of an extensive exploration with shadows, the One Day Poem Pavilion demonstrates the poetic, transitory, site-sensitive and time-based nature of light and shadow.
Using a complex array of perforations, the pavilion’s surface allows light to pass through creating shifting patterns, which–during specific times of the year–transform into the legible text of a poem. The specific arrangements of the perforations reveal different shadow-poems according to the solar calendar: a theme of new-life during the summer solstice, a reflection on the passing of time at the period of the winter solstice. The time-based nature of the poem–and the visitor’s time-based encounters with it–allow viewers to have different experiences either seeing a stanza of the poem or getting the whole poem. All of these possible experiences are equally valuable and have meanings unique to the individual. This technique has the potential for producing particular effects and meanings within an architectural environment. Without the use of a source of power other than the sun, this project uses light and shadow to push the boundaries of communication and experiential delight.”
On the 3rd of July VARSKO! will be hosting an event at Byscenen, Trondheim that will blow your mind. VARSKO! and HelloTypo™ merges to create a mix of graphic design and typography. We will collaborate with Grafill Trøndelag and Kreativt Forum Trondheim to make it extra awesome. Book the date in your calendar, tell your friends and stay tuned for news coming your way!
Typeface is a movie about “..a rural Midwestern museum and print shop where international artists meet retired craftsmen and together navigate the convergence of modern design and traditional technique.” We here at HelloTypo™ have written about this movie a few of times before. Now you can be a part of the movie. They want you to participate. Send in your design! If you do, please send us an example also, so we can post it. More info about how things work here.
Love the way Pavel Fuksa has designed so many nice vintage matchboxes. Check it out!
As Ståle posted a while ago, here is the trailer of the movie.
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:

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
