The exhibition Billedlig Talt (Norwegian for Figuratively Speaking) opened last night in Oslo. The place was filled with wonderfully illustrated books, Egil Olsen played some fine music, there was champagne and we of course served alphabet crackers like we always do ;)

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!
