The Trondheim Junior Soloists

We made these typographic posters for The Trondheim Junior Soloists, a training orchestra for The Trondheim Soloists who are performing in Oslo, London and Oxford this February.

Trondheim Dokumentarfestival

We are proud to be a part of the very first Trondheim Documentary Festival. The festival is held at Dokkhuset here in the centre of town between the 27th and 29th of November. This festival is a collective achievement between several different organizations like Cintemateket Trondheim, Trondheim Journalistlag and many others.

Our contribution to this festival is the logo and profile design. This is distributed through a poster, a big screen slide at Dokkhuset, a website, t-shirts and other printed items.

March Roundup

March is coming to an end so here’s a little roundup of this month:

With 18 000 visits and 48 000 pageviews since release and several admissions to prominent online showcases, we must say we’re quite pleased with the development of our new website. The latest additions are Styleboost, CSS Perk, and Motionspire. Google Analytics also say that people spend 2:17 minutes in average on the site which means visitors aren’t just coming and going either.

Other news: our Musicians and Voices-page has gotten some new additions, we’ve added work for NTNU and Resman, and uploaded an excerpt from a documentary we did a while back.

We’ve helped the Trondheim-based band The South with their new website.

It’s a simple site that serves as an arena for the band to publish news and other material. It’s managed with our own ‘Snop‘ CMS and dynamically loads images from flickr and concert dates from the MySpace-site.

Ole also made this poster for Captain Charisma, including the logo:

Several new exciting project coming up, subscribe to our feed if you want to stay updated.

Online Shopping for the Design-minded

Someone’s birthday coming up? We’re still some time away from Christmas, but I thought I’d compile a list of some of the places you can buy neat stuff on the Internet which I’ve gathered over time. There are so many sites that sell all kinds of weird and wonderful stuff and I suppose you’ve got to be selective and find your own favorites in order to make some sense of the internet shopping-jungle if you’re looking for something other than selections from Amazon or eBay. Contributions to this list are most welcome! In random order:

• Glennz Tees: Lots of well designed and funny T-shirts, available as prints too. A lot of his designs are also sold over at the great site Threadless.com that showcases a large variety of apparel and great designs. Trevor has to be one of my favorites.
• Shop Composition: You can find all sorts of stuff here, accessories, bags, gadgets, jewelry, wallets and so on. I like the site and how it’s built, easy to work and a nice assortment of wares.
• Gestalten Shop: Books, fonts, toys, posters, calendars, DVD’s and lots more.
• Etsy: All things handmade. This site has become quite huge by now and you’ll find almost anything here (if it’s handmade that is :)
• T-shirts for Graphic Designers: A nice selection of typographic T-shirts for designers, compiled by David Airey
• eBoy’s Shop: Toys, T-shirts, posters, lots of crazy stuff.
• Owl Movement: A nice collection of T-shirts and hoodies. Hosted by Merchline, who has a huge assortment of other online shops.
• Pestol.dk: T-shirts, books, mags and other hip stuff.
• Jonathan LeVine Gallery: A lot of really nice items here, although some of the prints are reserved for the big spender.
• Spike Press: Awesome posters – too bad a lot of them are sold out, but there are still a lot of goodies available.
• Straberryluna: A nice selection of posters and prints, ships to anywhere and you might even get some extra goodies when ordering! I personally like the birdies.
• BlueFlip Art: A quality collection of prints from a wide range of designers and artists. What’s nice about this shop is that 10% of the purchase price gets donated to a charity of the artist’s choice, so you’re doing a good deed while you’re at it!
• Büro Discount: Lots and lots of stuff.
• You Work For Them:  Should cover any designer’s needs.
• Popptags: “Nothing says thank you like a bottle of wine I know nothing about”
