This week was a really, really interesting week. I didn’t know a lot about Copenhagen or Denmark and the Danish people. Nor did I have any idea about Danish Graphic Design. But I met some nice graphic designers here and they told me a lot about the Danish graphic design scene. You will read it all in the book that I will make but for now I can tell you about the projects I did in Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

The first graphic designer I did a project with was Jeppe Pendrup<\/a>. I asked Jeppe what was typical Danish Graphic Design or perhaps if there was something that was quite specific for Denmark. He couldn’t give me a straightforward answer and maybe it isn’t possible. But a thing that came back a lot was the product and furniture design. So, that was the start of something. We tried to find a bridge between the famous and iconic design from Denmark and the not typical Danish graphic design. After that Jeppe told me that they were influenced a lot by other cultures, like the Dutch or Swiss style. To combine all that, we put all the elements of the story together and made a quite interesting but strange poster:<\/p>\n

\"Danish<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Scanning<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The second project I did was with Eller Med A<\/a>, two women who also really couldn’t point me to the typical Danish style elements except for the focus on the details and the minimalism. So what is more minimal than paper? We tried to see what the paper as material is telling us:<\/p>\n

Ik wist niet veel over Kopenhagen of Denemarken en de Denen. Over Deens grafisch ontwerp had ik evenmin een idee. Maar ik ontmoette hier enkele fijne grafisch ontwerpers en zij vertelden me veel over de Deense ontwerpscene. Je leest het allemaal in het boek dat ik zal maken, maar nu kan ik je al vertellen over de projecten die ik in Kopenhagen deed.\n\nDe eerste ontwerper met wie ik een project deed, was Jeppe Pendrup<\/a>. Ik vroeg Jeppe wat typisch Deens grafisch ontwerp was, of wat misschien echt eigen was aan Denemarken. Hij kon me geen rechtstreeks antwoord geven, en misschien kan dat ook niet. Maar wat vaak terugkwam, was het product- en meubelontwerp. Daar begon iets. We zochten een brug tussen het beroemde, iconische Deense design en het niet typisch Deense grafisch ontwerp. Daarna vertelde Jeppe me dat ze sterk be\u00efnvloed werden door andere culturen, zoals de Nederlandse of de Zwitserse stijl. Om dat allemaal te combineren, brachten we alle elementen van het verhaal samen en maakten we een vrij boeiende maar vreemde affiche:\n\nHet tweede project deed ik met Eller Med A<\/a>, twee vrouwen die me ook niet echt de typisch Deense stijlkenmerken konden aanwijzen, behalve de aandacht voor detail en het minimalisme.
