Friday 25th was the 15th edition of the Visuelt Awards. It is considered the most important award for graphic design and illustration in Norway. I am happy to say that I got two nominations and a silver. Also Scandinavian Design Group got several nominations and a couple of golds. All in all a great night. I would also like to congratulate all the others who got awards for their great work. Next stop Stockholm.
Update: slideshow of the winners on the Visuelt pages and Dagbladet

Ringnes’ summer beer is back in the stores again. When I designed it last year, I thought it’d be a one off for that season, but I’m happy to see it back on the Norwegian shelves again this year. Skjærgårdspils is also back as usual.

Deleted Scenes Magazine is out now. The website has info on where it can be purchased, and I’ve heard they’re planning on selling it online as well soon.

This is the first issue of Deleted Scenes and it looks promising.

My trip to Kristiansand to judge in the Sabla Bra competition turned out to b a little longer than expected. Heavy weather, both in Oslo and Kristiansand (where the judging took place), added an extra night to my stay. Apart from that, it was nice seeing what those people in the south of Norway were up to. Also spending a whole day with my friends Halvor and Miriam, who were also judging, was a rare and pleasant occasion. Check out the winners of the competition on the Sabla Bra website.

Back from Bergen after two weeks of teaching logotype design at KHiB (Bergen National Academy of the Arts). Teaching was a new and wonderful experience, and I was very impressed with the results the students produced by the end of the course. I don’t think everyone knew working with type could be that fun, and being a part of making them discover that was truly inspiring.

As the news section on teipu.net was becoming old news and bad conscience, I decided to make a blog instead, which hopefully will be easier and more inspiring to update frequently. I will be adding some old news as well. Just to cover all that stuff I thought about posting, but never did until it just felt too late. Also I will be working on improvements and try to integrate it better with the rest of the site over time, but right now I just have to get it out.
