Our friend Remi just finished some amazing wall decorations for Carat. Remi states on his Behance account: “I was asked to help with the redecoration and decoration at the office of Carat, a large media-agency in Oslo. The project included decorating 5 walls, one large illustrative, two typography related, and two with a mix of typo and illustrations. The brief was rooted in the phrase “Redefining media”, and my take on it.” I think Remi solved this one super nicely. Popping typography with awesome details. Lucky Carat people.

I stumbled upon this great project some time ago. And I contacted Kjetil from Jazzmontør, to learn more about the project. He sent me these words:
“Five from Jazzmontør turned up at Amnesty‘s office Saturday 12 November. 90 creative young activists between the age of 13-19 years, met us. In this project we implemented a creative process with a workshop and a subsequent action in the city center. This day’s concept: ”From words to action”. The goal: To make something valuable together in 3 hours.
30 groups of 3 persons started with a quick brainstorm about what words of value the youths associated with AmnestyInternational. After sorting all of the groups’ best ideas, each group had to draw a value word and a task of how tomaterials task that indicated how they would illustrate this in the meeting place at the Young Market. The youngsters got 1.5 hours to find theirmaterials and have visualized this, the materials could be to use paper, bubble wrap, balloons, flowers or yarn.
It was impressive how the task was solved and the different interpretations of the value of words Amnesty appeared. When every group were finished visualizin their value word, there was only one essential word again: Amnesty. Everyone who was involvedgot themselves in yellow Amnesty t-shirts and braving the weather and formed the letters to himself. The action caused a positivestir in the Oslo cityscape and we filmed the whole event.”

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!
