The website I did for Oslo Filmfestival 08 was given a nomination/diploma at this year’s Visuelt competition. The video i did for Jazzkammer was nominated for the main competition for this year’s norwegian short film festival, Minimalen.
Just finished: cd and vinyl cover for rockers The Reilly Express, cd cover for Bladed, silkscreen posters for Bladed. In the works: new website for Electrocompaniet, vinyl cover for Bladed, t-shirts, silkscreen posters for Lasse Marhaug.
Diogo for his high standards, Ken for being able to be both relevant and interesting, So for his design approach to so much more than just visuals, Jonni for making me believe designers can be photographers too, Vegard for the attention to detail and tactility, Keith for his Ma, Anna for daring not to be hip, Halvor for his touch of personality, Chris for daring to look abroad, Marius for being an artist, Erik for the love of typography, Teipu for his playfulness and Suzie for daring to be different.
A tribute to Patrik Fitzgerald – coverdesign for gatefold vinyl and silkprinted cd-cover with 24-page booklet, identity for hi-end producers Electrocompaniet, interactive applications for Øyafestivalen 09, logo for black metal heroes Thorns, cd-cover and logo for my good friend Trond’s new band All Trouble, and probably even more covers this spring. Stay tuned.
I was very happy to see that the Oslo International Film Festival website I did is now listed on Styleboost.
I’m very happy to be published with several works (1349 cover, Seid cover, Jazkamer logo, Thorns website, Sonu website and Thorns website) in the book “1000 music graphics” in the company of many very talented designers.

I’m a part of this year’s Varsko! design exhibition in Trondheim, Norway, and David Carson is coming to do a talk! Good stuff, looking forward to it.
Work featured in Idn magazine.
The Web Design Index by Content.02 features two sites by This Way Design – my portfolio and the website for Lasse Marhaug. The previous edition also featured work by me, the website of Jazzkammer. Fun.
Even though I usually keep with Bruce Mau’s wise words (“Don’t enter design-competions”), it was fun to see that two of my last year’s works won in Norway’s second largest advertising/design-competion: Siås (Studentsamskipnaden i Ås) got a silver in the profile category (no gold was given in this category) and my poster for the short movie “Vakseriet” won silver in the poster category. A webproject I contributed on for TINE, won silver in the interactive category. The website can bee seen here.
Reading Adrian Sahaughnessy’s book these days, good stuff and comforting to read other designers’ experiences about the returning problem of customers’ fear of doing anything out of the box. A quote: “…the ones that cut through the drizzle of unremarkable one-size-fits-all communications – are ones where the designer’s thumbprint is clearly visible: the ones that contain a rebel-yell of defiance”.
