Friday 20th of May – the workshop venue, normally a place where they do plastic surgery (!!) but this day was all about type. (check out the “E” in the building fasade) » Read more
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.
Found these refreshing books on Boooooooooom and Today and Tomorrow and Flickr. The artist is Isaac Salazar. Fan-freaking-tastic! Click the links if you like, there are more of this folded sweetness.
My friend Cecilie Ellefsen is one of my favourite illustrators out there (and her boyfriend is a killer on 3D). She works with the skilled crew at Commando Group, and has her personal site Happy Meat. On her own site, she reasontly added a sketchbook section. I´m loving it. Her Moleskine is filled to thr rim with sweet and lovely illutrations. And of course type treatment. Be a quick brown fox and jump over to her sketchbook and have good, long look. While your at it, check out the Commando Sketchbook as well. Peace.
Meny, a norwegian supermarket chain, surprised me today while I read the news paper. In the news paper Meny had a standard advertisement paper (product + price). But on the front page of their paper they had some fantastic carved type. The rest of the layout wea crap, but that type was a piece of heaven. (I don´t know who did it. Do you?) Enjoy:
Stumbled upon this amazing guy, from Sweden, named Thomas Broomé. I´ve never heard of him before, but damn he produces loads of lovely things. Not only typographical stuff, but sculptures and other sweet bites. His take on typography is right up my alley. Analog shit. No computers. Bookmarked for ever!
I made a logo for my contemporary art exhibition at Trondheim Art museum. It all goes down 22. of october. If you are in town, come join the party. More here (Norwegian).
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!
