A new logo I did for FTP - Forskningssenter For Trening Og Prestasjon.
Working on a new font…
I occasionally dj on the weekends. Very low tech, cross fading and drag and drop songs in playlists in iTunes. But if I wanna take it to the next level, I thought of Gold Soundz as a dj (or club) name, so I did this little type treatment.
While i’m at it with my favorites (Jacob’s Ladder, Glasvegas etc) I thought I’d post something about one of my absolute favorite sites and also my startpage in my browser, Ffffound. The idea is quite simple, people bookmark a Ffffound-link in their bookmark toolbar and whenever you see a nice image online you just click on the ffffound link and then select the image to upload it. Viola.
On Ffffound you can click on “Add to my ffffound” on every image and the site generate a selection of other images you might also like. The standard on Ffffound is incredible high and it’s the perfect site to use as a research tool for graphic design projects.
I saved 115 of my bookmarked images and uploaded them on my flickr in a “• My Fffffound” set.
Possible self-promotion logo/pictogram.
After I did the sleeve design for The Disciplines they asked me if I could do some merch and a backdrop. Quite different style from the sleeve (the typography was something I tried out in the beginning of the process). I missed their gig at Øya, but it’s nice to see some shots of the backdrop. Photos borrowed from The Disciplines myspace.
I’m featured in the newly released annual logotype book — Los Logos.

I’ll be featured in the first issue of the new online magazine, Monarkh Magazine. They are doing a special feature on swedish design and designers from Hyper Island. The site itself will be online on the 18th of September, and the Swedish design feature on 27th of September.
Victionary invited me, to be a part of their upcoming book Colour Mania.
I’ll probably have 4 of my pieces included in the book. More info later.
We’re doing new art direction, design and illustrations for norwegian clothing brand, Moods of Norway at work. The general theme is Travel, or Cocktail Travel. Which is divided into 4 sub-themes and one of theme is contemporary travel and that’s what I’ve been jamming on for a couple of days now.
This illustration above is not for Moods, but it’s based on the same character, but with another slogan. It’s a slogan that I’ve wanted to use for a long time. Maybe it could be printed on a t-shirt or something. It will also be published in Erland’s zine, So Random.
