We (Aasmund and Ståle) where invited to do a workshop at How to Wow in Zagreb the 20th of may (tomorrow). So today at 0530 AM we started our trip from Trondheim to Zagreb.

Waiting for the bus – the gif.

Tweeking the workshop whilst airborn.

Fun ad at Oslo Airport Gardemoen. Duplo ♥.

Flight two done, now to the last one. (the tee reads “Death to Helvetica”)

Stewart: “Do you want anything to drink?”

Ståle: “Do you have beer?”

Stewart (looks at Ståle like Ståle was born yesterday): “Sir, this is a German flight. What do you think?”

Ståle gets a beer…

Candy Script represented in Zagreb.

More beer label design.

The workshop is getting a finishing touch at the hotel.

Right now, this is one of 250 slides… This workshop is going to be a blast!

To Be Continued….

My sister is a photography student and her friend is a design student. Both at NKF in Trondheim. They decided to play with typography the other day. The result is this picture of my sister. I love it.

I was not enjoying a bus ride this morning when I suddenly stumbled upon The LOГO Flickr group. A sweet group filled with type. Go check it out.

This is one of three (if you want to see the other two, go on and google it) ads for Australia post. I´m liking it.

Kreativ Forum Trondheim arranges their regular happaning Fredagspils tonight. We (HelloTypo™) are going to talk about type, show some sweetness and get the beer drinking people to play with markers. So If you are in T-town, be smart and pop by Blæst at 16.00.

Found this image, made by Sebastian Cremers. Hope people are ready for some listening tonight.

Autobahn is an dutch design agency with a love for type. Autobahn designs special graphical projects, often with an illustrative and typographical angle. I really like the way they play with type in this particular project (glad I´m not themodel). The project I´m talking about is called Arts In Area Development.

“Arts In Area Development is a collaboration between artists and area developers. Together they are looking for a way to provide a place for art in areas yet to be developed. Will the implantation of art and culture into area development projects increase the quality of the development plans? What possibilities will there be for the artists? And will there arise involvement with the future area residents?”

Read more about the project, and see all the “behind the scene” pictures here. It´s sweet, promise.

Back in the good old days I had a t-shirt brand named :pøbel (:pøbel means bully, hooligan, rascal etc). And just now, when I was researching type on the intergalactic internet, I stumbled upon this book; Body Type.

The book made me remember that I actually got people to tattoo my brand name and/or logo… Super fun. I thought I should share it with you, so her goes:

Three people got a :pøbel-tattoo before I stopped paying for the tattoos… This is over three years ago, but still I get people comming up to me at parties and such asking me for a tattoo…

BTW: I don´t buy people tattoos anymore…

I´ve been to the tattoo man to day and done this:

Result:

Now days the magazine Esquire has a cover girl with type on her body, (actually it`s part of a Stephen King story) on their front page.

Reminds me of this picture of Stefan Sagmeister:

(If you should write a horror novel on your body, why not do it in scars? )

BTW (TTC likes Sagmeister more than Esquire):
