I just finished the visual profile for Klubbmisjonen, the new club night that recently opened at Cafe Opera. It’s a daughter concept from Nabovarsel, so you know it’s nothing but the best people.
The club aims to showcase the best DJ talents from the city, in the venue that have hosted every upcoming talent and DJ superstar from both Bergen and the country at large.
Based on this, I made a visual concept around seeing the deep history of the city’s music scene through a specific lens. The posters will be very simple, with the captial K cut out to show the various posters(=history) behind it on the wall. Get it?
Go see what Djs are coming up and more at Facebook.

All right, restock ohoy!
Both posters from Phonofestivalen plus the tote bag are now available in the webstore. I’ll hopefully get some more silk screened posters going as soon as I’m done building my new workshop, but in the meantime have fun with these.
Go check them out!

It had to happen… In order to woe the strange amalgam of audiences at Kvarteret, I made this remix of Gangnam Style for my gig there. It’s cheesier than some people can handle, so listen at your own risk.
In other news:
The work with phonofestivalen is about to come to a close, as the festival approaches and the final designs are on the way to the printers. I’m sharing some iterations for the final posters on Behance, if you would like to have a look at what goes on behind the scenes.

Just sharing my glee over the fact that my typeface Pax Tantor got featured in Typography Served, one of the most influential places for typography on the web. Celebrate with cake!

When you think of the concept of a computer, what is the first function you think of? For many at least, it is the file system.
For this reason, the lack of such on iOS devices have perplexed me for as long as I’ve used these devices.
I’ve done several concept sketches and UI mock-ups of “finder for iOS”, without landing on something good enough to put out there.
But yesterday, as I read Oliver Lichtenstein’s thoughts and saw apple’s new OS, it dawned on me. Apple was way ahead of us in that they want to shift the entire paradigm of file handling on computers right under our noses.
In case you haven’t seen it, Apple’s new OSX basically wants us to use folder structures no more than one level deep. Say what? Yeah, really.
But as you understand how it will be used, it actually makes a lot of sense, at least for the not-too-nerdy part of the user base.
Basically, the human brain sucks at managing complex folder-in-folder structures to begin with, but somehow we’ve been stuck like this since forever. Apple’s hope is that in ten years, we’ll look at these folder-in-folder structures we have today like we now look at command-line computer use from before the graphical user interface was born.
Only time will tell if this new way of thinking about information management really sticks. But I bet you and I both get a special look on our faces when we say “I should really sort out all those folders today”.

Hello Beatport. Yes, I’m talking to you, the world’s biggest online retailer of music for DJs. I fixed you.
Cue obnoxious rant.
Now, your design team has overall done a great job with the site. Really. But there are some clear things missing. Some things get rushed, we get it. But seriously. We have to look at this stuff every day.
Here’s what’s broken. The biggest things, anyways. I’ll get into detail, I promise.
