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!

Buying the book in Oslo.

If you're looking to buy the book in Oslo, Ark at Egertorget (map) is the place to go. They ordered a whole bunch for the launch party and should have plenty available for you. :-)

Photos from the second book lauch.

Last Friday we had a second book launch for the second edition of the book, which means the book is now officially released! (Though it doesn't yet say so on Amazon for some reason.)

A nice little crowd showed up for the book launch and seemed to be enjoying themselves. One of the designers (me) held a little introduction speech and told about the story behind the book. Afterwards people could get their books numbered and signed and talk about typography over alphabet crackers and soda.

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).
