There must be something about Spain and great type-driven graphics. We´ve had visit here in Trondheim from fellow spanish designers Alex Trochut, Marta Cerdà Alimbau and Dvein. Hope we see these guys around as well. Vasava is a multidisciplinary studio based in Barcelona doing Graphics, Interactive and Motion. Their clients range from Diesel, Adobe, Schweppes and Nike.

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.”

Stumbled upon (on Instagram) this lovely blog: Typeverything. It´s a blog I instantly had to bookmark. I suggest that you do the same. Support your local type dealer. Here are some random awesomnes from Typeverything:
A super sweet font family designed by Aurèle Sack was just released by Lineto. The family includes 18 cuts and 4 weights and is named LL BROWN. I love this typeface. I need this typeface. I´ll buy this typeface. Now!
Loving this concept. Playing with letters. Hello! letterPLAYGROUND is a fun spot to enjoy custom type. If you go over there, make a letter and namedrop us (HelloTypo™) in your letter. That would make all 25 of us happy. Yay!

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.
Anna Garforth experiments with type. Wild at heart was, as she states, created in rural Catalunya, northern Spain. A 2m x 9m installation was rendered in masking tape, using a wire fence as a grid. She plays with type. She plays materials. She plays. Take a tour on her site. Baking, Papercraft, Flowers, Illustration, Typography. Check it out! Also check out her Tumblr. Pastry bonus:
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.
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!
