Type Couture

Typographic dress for the launch of new women’s magazine Alt for damene. The idea from the creative team at Kitchen was “stories that stay with you after you have finished reading”.

Sketches of various dresses and poses during art direction of the photo shoot.

Backstage

First rough sketches off the different styles were drawn in the studio at the end of the shoot.

Rune Spaans and his team commenced to do the 3D-work. Firstly, the body had to be rebuilt in 3D to get the stance right. The dress was then modeled onto the frame. To the left: The flat sketch. To the right: The draped 3D-model.

When the shape was ready, the UV-map was passed over to us so that we could start working with the text layout.

The typography was meticulously filled in.

It required a lot of testing and “alternative kerning” to get the typography exactly in the right spot. With the UV map ready, Rune could now make a render of the final dress. Here are the results.

The ads were published in a nationwide campaign that ran in magazines, newspapers and on boards .

The campaign was commissioned by the creative team Ole Henrik Stubberud, Heidi Mittun and Elin Dorum Bengtsson at Kitchen.

The Right Stuff

Chris Harrison is being recalled in an interview with collector Jim Fitts in the July 2011 issue of PDN Magazine. A few extracts: “‘I wasn’t aware of Chris Harrisons work, but I liked it so much that I bought a couple of prints”, “… remembers his leave behinds as being very well designed, simple and humourous”, “… website is simple, easy to get around and the works looks great”. We are very happy for our good friend from Jarra and pretty proud ourselves. Check out his visual identity and website.

Commando Group Organized Neatly

While Chris took some photos for our new portfolio website, some of us started organizing all the green props. The innocent joke turned to somewhat obsessive-compulsive behaviour faster than we could control. Here is the result.

(Ps Can you spot the three horses?)

Exhibition: PhotoRemix Heinisch vs Brochmann

Trolls are archetypes deeply burrowed in the Norwegian consciousness. As a consequence, the subject is exhausted commercially, especially in the marketing of Norway as a tourist destination. Packaged in dumb slogans or sold as objects in souvenir shops the trolls now feel tired and unfashionable. But as everyone who have wandered in the mountains at nightfall knows: They are still here, lingering.

Opening at Fotografiens Hus 4th of November at 19:30

The exhibition lasts from 4th to 28th November

Tue–Fri: 10-16 · Sat–Sun: 12-16 · Mondays closed
