1st February 2010 IdN Magazine — The Colour Issue  First of all, sorry for the lack of updates of lately. I've got my hands full with really interesting projects for clients at Bleed. We're also working hard with producing our own book, a couple of exhibitions and planning our summer party to celebrate that Bleed turns 10 years old, our new studio, and our new profile. After a couple of months delay, my feature in IdN Magazine finally came out. It's in The Colour Issue, Jan/Feb 2010, on page 87. #11 Packing A Skateboard Punch If you grew up in the 1980s, arcade games, skateboarding, street art and music were the vitamins that promoted your teenage growth. Sometimes, those elements have persisted in influencing the lives they touched in later years, too. Based in Oslo, Norway, Swedish designer Joakim Jansson developed his interest in graphic design from the illustrations on his skateboard deck – and it shows. After graduating from the renowned Hyper Island school in Karlskrona, Sweden in 2004, Jansson moved to Oslo and started his career there. He focuses on art direction, graphic design, typography, illustration, branding and web design. He is currently working with Bleed, one of the most award-winning design agencies in Norway. Aside from his graphic design work, he also owns a club in Oslo called Soda Popinski, which is his DJ pseudonym and the name of a character form an old boxing video game called Punch-Out!!
