Grand studio of grand graphic design from Norway: Grandpeople renewed their portfolio.
"Ideas, visual communication, illustration, photography and creative direction from the western edge of Scandinavia to the world. Since 2005 Grandpeople have worked with a wide range of clients, from big multinationals to start-ups making up for in aspiration what they lack in money. No matter the client, all have shared a desire for singular design and a unique expression for their vision."

Kjell Ekhorn (Norwegian) and Jon Forss (British) have worked together as the creative direction & design team Non-Format since 2000. They work on a range of projects including art direction, design, illustration and custom typography for arts & culture, music industry, fashion and advertising clients. Recently they attracted again our attention with the cover artworks for Delphic.

Olso based duo Hans Christian Øren and Christina Magnussen formed Oh Yeah Studio year ago and have a plenty number of good graphic design projects.

When fashion photographer Solve Sundsbo started his career, for a while it seemed as though he wouldn't get too far.
"People would say to me, "I'm not sure I can hire you, I'm not sure what you're doing. What is your style?" I was mortified and thought I was never going to make a living as a photographer."
But the hard work paid off and Sundsbo is now regarded as a fashion-world institution.
The designer Tom Ford cannot speak highly enough of him. "Solve is a great talent in the fashion industry," he says. "His photographs speak for themselves. They are powerful, beautiful, always fresh, and I am lucky to have worked with him over the past decade."
Sundsbo's portfolio reads like a who's who of luxury designers – Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Gucci, Hermès, Bally and Armani.

Когда норвежский фэшн-фотограф Solve Sundsbo начинал свою карьеру, некоторое время казалось, что он далеко не пойдёт. «Мне говорили: ‘Я не уверен, что могу нанять Вас, я не уверен в том, что Вы делаете. Каков ваш стиль?’. Я был раздавлен и решил что никогда не смогу зарабатывать на жизнь как фотограф».

Но тяжкие труды окупились и Sundsbo ныне признанная личность в индустрии моды.
Отзывы Тома Форда о нём очень лестны. «Solve – большой талант в индустрии моды. Его фотографии говорят сами за себя. Они мощные, красивые, всегда оригинальные. И я был счастлив работать с ним на протяжении последней декады.»Портфолио Sundsbo – это сотрудничество с величайшими дизайнерами - Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Gucci, Hermès, Bally and Armani.
