Lecture on Hyperactivitypography

Two members from our 5-person team will be giving a talk tomorrow at Billedlig Talt (Norwegian for Figuratively Speaking). The event takes place at 6 pm and we will be telling about the process behind the book. Hope to see you there!

Exhibition

Hyperactivitypography from A to Z will be exhibited at this year's Billedlig Talt in Oslo (Norwegian for Figuratively Speaking), which is an annual exhibition that focuses on illustrations in books. The exhibition opens tomorrow at 6 pm! We will post some pictures from the exhibition later this week.

Golden (part two)!

Hyperactivitypography from A to Z has won another award! This time we won gold in the Norwegian design competition Visuelt in the category Illustration for Education, Non-fiction and Information.

The jury says:
Wins because it is playful, comprehensive and solid in a traditionally serious genre. The jury is impressed with the scope of the project, are entertained and learns a bit about typography. Good!

Golden!

Last Thursday the winners of this year's Norwegian book design contest The Most Beautiful Books of the Year were announced and Hyperactivitypography from A to Z won gold in the textbook category! All the winners are currently on display at the National Library in Oslo.

The jury says: A playful, hyperactive and extra bold book about typography. Invites both new and experienced typography interested to play with type. 

As a gold winner, the book will be sent to the ”Book Art International” i Frankfurt and ”Best Book Design from all over the World” in Leipzig.

Book launch!

The book will be out very soon and the second edition of the book of course requires a second book launch! This time the Norwegian book store chain Ark is hosting the event in the art department of their shop at Egertorget in Oslo. It will be happening on the Friday of November 12th from 4 to 7 PM and like last time the first 99 copies will be numbered and we will be serving soda and alphabet crackers :)

The book store has made a Facebook event which can be found here (unfortunately it's in Norwegian).

PRE-ORDER THE BOOK!

The second edition of the book will be out soon, but you can already pre-order yourself a copy from Amazon.com!

Finally!

It took a while, but we can hereby happily/proudly/gratefully announce that we recently closed a deal with our favorite publisher – Gestalten. This implies that there will be a reprint and that (unlike the 1st edition) the book will be available worldwide. When EXACTLY this reprint will be released is not decided yet, but we can already assure you that it will happen somewhere during this autumn. Of course we will update you as soon as we know more.

Meanwhile, enjoy the thought!
