Launch of new bleed and lots of other work made me neglect this site the last months of the year. Bleed is my main project and will always have full focus. Now that it also have a blog and gives possibilities for less “official” postings, a lot that normally would have been posted here, will end up there.
But that said; stuff will still be posted!
Happy new year and more respect to design in 2010!

Very interesting article about the challenges and possibilities of cross-media design in the current Computerarts issue September 2009. Bleed is proud to be presented there, also with all the nice silver print and stuff.

Bleed designstudio is searching for experienced and/or talented front-end developers to join us in creating ground-breaking websites for national and international clients. (more…)

After a long time looking we have finally secured new, bigger, better and cooler offices for Bleed. There is a lot of building to be done yet, but a huge industrial space, lot of windows and 6m high ceilings is a very good start. Maybe we will see you at the opening-party in september…

Bleed received 1 gold and 4 bronze prizes at the European design award 2009! Gold was awarded for our work with BeyondRisør in the category Brand Implementation and bronze was awarded for our Damien Hirst poster, Bleed exhibition, BeyondRisør poster and Snøhetta website.

Zürich is nice to us!

Last Friday Bleed won two gold, two silver and four diplomas at Visuelt, Norway´s largest competition for graphic design. We’re all very happy! It´s rewarding to be appreciated for our wide range of work.
Gold for the Snøhetta web and for our own exhibition Follow Your Inner Moonlight; Don’t Hide the Madness. Silver for the ALU catalouge and for the Minna Hannila web. Diplomas for The National Theatre newspaper, Damien Hirst poster, Beyond Risør identity and for Pepsi Max Fan Guide webpage.
Here’s the jury comment on Snøhetta “A masterpiece in craftsmanship, where the solution is intuitive, relevant and elegant. It’s all perfect. A clear winner!” And the jury on Follow Your Inner Moonlight; “A brilliant example on a inspiring self-promotional project and an attitude that on it’s own is enough for gold – and the execution is strong. This project should be inspiring for the whole industry, and we urge everyone else to do something like it.”
I contributed with the gold for Snøhetta and my part of the gold winning exhibition together with my amazing colleges!

Suddenly spring was here and I did not notice… Lot of exciting projects at Bleed and not time for much else. New music and good projects makes it all worth while!
