The 2019 Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair opened in February this year in Stockholm, Sweden. It’s one of the most important arenas for global furniture and interior design brands. Thus a very important arena for one of my startups BAUX. When me and my co-founders started BAUX, we had a simple idea; That acoustic materials […]

So What About Volvo? Does Your Site Suck Too?
Yesterday I wrote a blog post about SAAB. It obviously created some sort of attention since I almost had a new unique visitor record. Among the commenters were official SAAB representatives, positive even though I had quite a strong tone in my post. Another commenter, a bit surprising, was David Holecek, Interactive Marketing Manager at Volvo […]

The Ultimate Mood and Storyboard Application
Creatives all over the world do their best to visualize their ideas when pitching clients, preparing for photo shoots or simply putting their ideas on paper. Apart from sketching with Sketchbook Pro I’ve personally been using Flickr and Google Image Search combined with Photoshop for ages. Lately I’ve added Bing and iStockphoto to the list. […]

I'm a Leo
August has already passed and maybe it’s a little bit late for me to share my horoscope. But since I like it I’ll share it anyway. My birthday is the 20th of August and that makes me a Leo. I just loved this portrait found on FFFFound of a Leo and couldn’t find a better […]

There’s something fishy going on
I haven’t really spent to much time blogging about what I’m actually am doing besides blogging. However, for some time now I’ve been working with everything from re-branding, advertising, digital communication to point of sales, packaging and raw problem solving for both Swedish and foreign brands. Some of the projects are pretty darn cool but […]

How to work better by Peter Fischli & David Weiss
One of my favorite graphical drive thru’s is FFFFound. It’s a never ending source of inspiration. Today I found this image above, originally posted by Today and Tomorrow. It’s been made by Peter Fischli & David Weiss, the same guys that made ‘The Way Things Go’ which was the inspiration for the classical Honda COG […]

What the font was that?
That’s more or less the name of this ingenious new iPhone app that let’s you identify a font purely by taking a photo of it. I downloaded it and tried it – it’s a killer app! As often before it’s Miss Swissmiss that delivered the news about the Whatthefont app.

More than 80% use Google instead of the actual URL when visiting a brand website.
In order words. You sure as hell wanna make sure that brand of yours is found among the top searches on Google. SEO is more important than ever. Building websites that get listed and linked up is key. So, if you wanna get our management team on board, do the following 3 steps: Print this […]

Dion Hinchcliffe show you the innovation opportunities
Saturday. Got my sister’s kids over. After 20 books, 10 songs and probably 10 extra visits to the toilette (without result) before the little devils finally fell asleep there’s really no room for blogging. But while waiting for one of them to fall asleep I found this great visualization of innovation opportunities on Dion Hinchcliffe’s […]

Damn we're small

At the time the image was taken, Earth was 142 million kilometers from Mars, giving the HiRISE image a scale of 142 kilometers (88 miles) per pixel, an Earth diameter of about 90 pixels and a moon diameter of 24 pixels. It’s a makes […]

Communication is easy. It's the branding that is hard
Right now I’m in the middle of some planning work for a Swedish brand. I’m spending quite a lot of time trying to understand their products, their target group and especially their brand. When I’m working I like to keep a drawing pad close to me so that I can write down and doodle on […]

Pixel art has become a vintage technology
There was a time when I hated pixel art. It was around 2000 when there wasn’t any need for creating websites with pixel graphics. It mostly felt stupid and took for ages to create something that looked stunning. Some years later adidas used the pixel art above created by Eboy (the Yoda of Pixel art) […]

Everything communicates
We talk a lot about how logotypes, advertising, products, packaging, tone of voice, TV commercials, websites etc etc etc communicates the brand. But usually, the more business-oriented the purpose, the stiffer the creative executions. That’s why I just love to see infographics like these. How would the infographics look in your annual report next time if you were […]

I think I can beat Mike Tyson…or Photoshop…or Aperture
It seems that there are some cool apps being made solely for the new OS X Leopard update from Apple. Naked Light is absolutely one of them. Naked Light is a new imaging tool that throws away antiquated concepts like pixels; layers; 8-bit color; and destructive, non-re-editable filters and operations. Instead, compositions in Naked light […]
