Another issue of Argument is out, and for this one I have done an illustration for a piece about Coco Chanel, the poor french girl who became one of the greatest fashion designers in the world. See whole project

I just discovered my logo mentioned on a Vietnamese design blog, in an article called “12 famous logos designed with simple icons”. Heavy use of Google Translate here of course. From what G.T. tells me, the writer is saying something like this:
“..famous logos are simple but very creative and meaningful. An effective logo is able to communicate business purposes in the simplest way possible. Today I will explain how these famous 12 logos are created by using symbols and simple shapes such as circles and rectangles. This does not mean that the logo design process involved in creating the icon is simple. It just shows the importance shapes and symbols in simple logo design.”
About the PID logo, the writer explains how the shapes that resemble the speech bubbles are constructed of cirles, rectangles and triangles.
The piece includes some really famous logos like Pepsi and Adobe. Needless to say that my logo is in a completely different level of fame, but very cool to see someone at the other side of the world noticing my work. Thanks for mentioning me, MyThuat24h!

Dagens Næringsliv, one of the papers that run the ad I made for FORNY, has done research on how the ad was read and perceived by the readers.
The results show that:
The research shows in numbers that the design actually worked and achieved the intended effect. Happy reading for me as a designer of course.

For the latest edition of Argument I’ve done an illustration for an article by Magnus J. Delsett about the dessert generation and that there may not be much left for dessert any longer. He writes that because of the climate changes and lack of political will to seriously change this direction there is not much of a dessert left. See whole project

Loveplanet has recorded a new album, and while waiting for it to get finished the band has made a three-track demo with raw mixes from the album recording. The album will be titled Evolution, so the demo is called Demolution and looks like this. Exciting ideas for the main album cover are brewing.
FORNY is a new Norwegian contractor, owned by BackeGruppen, one of Norway’s biggest contractor firms. FORNY means renew, and their speciality is renewing buildings with great environmental care. I have made FORNY’s first ads, including the illustration of the growing building, where they present themselves and seek employees. The ads were printed in Dagens Næringsliv and Estate magazine and run as web ads. See whole project
