Oslo Collective
Visuelt Awards 08:
4 gold, 2 silver and 9 nominees
Poster (Illustration)
Gold: Ravner, a poster for the Borealis Festival 2007 (Mike Patton/Stian Carstensen
+ Mike Patton/Chirstian Fennesz)
Illustration: Martin Kvamme/Raymond Mozer
Graphic design: Martin Kvamme
Jury statement [N]: En dramatisk og monumental plakat for et samarbeid mellom
to artister. den formidler sitt ærend uten omsvøp, men ikke uten
distanse og humor. Samtidig er dette en ny sjanger – plakaten som objekt.
Vi tenker på Hugin og Munin, men også på mørk sjokolade.
Cultural
Packaging (Design)
Gold: CD sleeve for Dub Trio Another Sound is Dying on Ipecac Recordings
Graphic design/Illustration: Martin Kvamme
Jury statement [N]: Nyskapende bruk av illustrasjon, både teknisk og motivmessig.
Her er det ikke behov for forførende trykktekniske hjelpemidler. Coverets
sære motiv og sterke uttrykk får juryen til å spå at
dette vil bli et nytt ikon innenfor platecovere.
Cultural Packaging (Design)
Silver: CD sleeve for The Ocean Precambrian on Metal Blade Records
Graphic design/Illustration: Martin Kvamme
Art Direction: Martin Kvamme/Robin Staps
Jury statement [N]: En visuell opplevelse! Dette er et cover man kan bruke lang
tid på å betrakte. Da vi trodde vi hadde sett alt, var det bare
begynnelsen. En rå bruk av trykktekniske detaljer. Overveldende, perfeksjonistisk
og luksuriøs.
Poster (Design)
Nominee (Diploma): Ravner, a poster for the Borealis Festival 2007 (Mike Patton/Stian
Carstensen + Mike Patton/Chirstian Fennesz)
Illustration: Martin Kvamme/Raymond Mozer

--------------------------------
Editorial Design (Design)
Gold: NO Magazine
Design/Art Direction: Claudia C. Sandor & Halvor Bodin
Design Assistant: Anders Gressli
Photographic Director: Marcel Leliënhof
Jury statement [N]: Et magasin som ligger på toppnivå i internasjonal
sammenheng. Det fornyer seg stadig formmessig, men har samtidig sitt eget uttrykk
i behold. Vekselvirkningen og samspillet mellom design, fotografi og redaksjonelt
innhold skaper et helstøpt sluttprodukt, hvor hvert element får
den plass til rådighet som det fortjener.
Self-promotion (Design)
Gold: Poster Mortem steel posters, 70 x 100 cm x 2 mm (6 pieces) for the exhibition
HBodin Retroskeptic at Grafill Gallery.
Design: Halvor Bodin
Jury statement [N]: Arbeidene demonstrerer en enorm nysgjerrighet på å
utforske nye teknikker og muligheter. Utøverens retroskeptiske utstilling
viser en stor kjærlighet til faget. Dette står det stor respekt
av!
Poster (Illustration)
Silver: Poster Mortem offset poster, 70 x 100 cm (printed on both sides in five
colors) for the exhibition HBodin Retroskeptic at Grafill Gallery.
Illustration & design: Halvor Bodin
Jury statement [N]: Plakaten gir oss et bilde av et mentalt landskap. Illustratøren
innbyr tilskueren til en intens, men samtidig lavmælt opplevelse. Plakaten
er en musikalsk reise, og gir noe vi kan orientere oss etter – et slags
visuelt kart eller et partitur.

Den etablerte «strategiske» designbransjen surmuler bl.a. over at
det var et platecover som vant embalasjedesign kategorien i Visuelt konkuransen
i år. Ingen navn er nevnt, men Martinsen skjønner hvor de vil hen!
At Grid
og Uniform ikke skjønner arbeidet som ligger bak en internasjonal
plateutgivelse (som faktisk har solgt over 100.000 eksemplarer på verdensbasis)
er vel kanskje ikke uventet, men at Bleed
heller ikke skjønner dette er hakket mer skuffende. Skjerpings folkens!
Martin møter dere til syltetøyglass eller kjekspakke design-battle
anytime! :-)
