Identity and web for ByCo April 2nd, 2013

ByCo is a new microfinancing company based in New York. Byco combines old-fashioned capitalism with crowd-funding principles. But instead of a perk, investors receive 10 percent of sales, depending on how much they put in. And the designer, who receives 20 percent of sales — or 30 percent if he or she is the sole investor — doesn’t have to deal with manufacturing, distribution and sales.

Bleed designed the corporate identity and web.

You can read more about it in this recent article in New York Times.

Bleed vs The Ministry of Health March 8th, 2013

SluttaOn behalf of The Ministry of Health we have done the product development and design of an app to help you quit your harmful nicotine addiction. The app´s popularity has exceeded all expectations. Since its strategic new year launch Slutta has been downloaded by 49.000 young smokers and snus- users and the numbers keep rising. Download for iOS here and Android here.

From the client (In norwegian)

Da Helsedirektoratet startet opp arbeidet med å styrke røykeslutt og snusslutt for unge, trengte vi en samarbeidspartner på design og helhetstenkning, samt sparringspartner på hva som var mulige veier å gå for å få til gode tilbud for unge.

Slike prosjekter krever ofte stor fleksibilitet da forutsetninger endres underveis. Det har også vært flere andre utviklere på banen, så Bleed har hatt mange parter å forholde seg til.

Gjennom godt samarbeid har Bleed og Helsedirektoratet fått på plass struktur og design for utvikling av app først og fremst, men også designelementer for nett. Appen er laget både for Android og iPhone, og omhandler både røyk og snus. Det er første gang i historien det lages en app som også handler om snusslutt, så Norge er foregangsland på dette. Appen har vært en stor suksess, og første måned ble den lastet ned over 49.000 ganger! Omtaler fra brukerne tyder på at de er meget fornøyde med design, og det er allerede mange som har sluttet med tobakk ved bruk av appen.

Helsedirektoratet er meget fornøyd med samarbeidet med Bleed, og mener de er fleksible, fremtidsrettet og velvillige. De viser god forståelse for arbeid med offentlig instans, og viser meget gode evner til å omstille seg i arbeidet.

Ove Jørgensen – Helsedirektoratet

Say himmelb(l)au! November 19th, 2012

We just launched the spanking new website for Coop Himmelb(l)au, one of the worlds leading architecture offices, located in Vienna and Los Angeles. Their range and quality of work is impressive, which was a great motivation and inspiration for us!

The website is a mix of an experimental front and intuitive content pages. For the frontpage we picked up an architectural approach of Coop Himmelb(l)au, which is the structure of clouds. You can drag a cloud of items and freely explore their latest work and updates. If you prefer to keep it simple, you’ll love the rest of the site. It focuses on their rich content, and allows users to get deep into CHBL’s world. Check out why architecture must blaze, how dolphins become architecture and all other things you need to know about Coop Himmelb(l)au here.

Merket For God Design for Comoyo April 19th, 2012

mfgd

We are very happy to have received the Merket For God Design Award from the Norwegian Design Council, for the Comoyo film and TV service.

The jury says (sorry Norwegian):
Juryen beskriver funksjonaliteten som enkel og behagelig. Trailerkontrollene er lekre, og delingen mellommørkt kino-område og den lysere oversiktsdelen av løsningen er et designgrep som understreker skifte av modus. Uansett hvor du er, gis det mulighet for forhåndsvisninger og lenker til andre filmer etter ønskede søkekriterier. Hele nettstedet virker verdiorientert og har med dét satt brukerens opplevelser i sentrum på en svært god måte.

Bleed goes Helen & Hard October 3rd, 2011

It’s always a great day for a design studio when an architecture firm needs a new website, especially one that has a great will for art and independent projects. Based in Stavanger, Helen & Hard is an international team always on the move, opening new offices in Oslo very soon, and it’s a great pleasure for us to introduce their brand new website. Conceived to get deeply into their projects, but also the team and the way they think, Helen & Hard’s new website is a full tour of an original architecture company. Enjoy the ride here!

As mentioned before Bleed is currently developing a new identity for Aker Brygge, and we are working closely together with the developer Norwegian Property and Architects Spacegroup and Ghilardi + Hellsten. The identity will be the new face of Aker Brygge after a complete remake of the area that is set to be finished in 2015. The main qualities of the new identity are intertwined with the core values of the New Aker Brygge, with emphasis on quality and contrast, and an open and dynamic street environment. Here are some more screens, enjoy!

Hocus Focus, ta-da! June 24th, 2011

Hocus Focus came to us and with one need as well as a massive redesign. They wanted a new site were main focus was on their work and a solution that would let them filter all their work/videos in an easy way. By category, or by person or both category + person. Before Hocus Focus used to send a link to each video a potenial client would want to see, for them to download or view on Vimeo/Youtube. It was a hassle. Now all they have to do is use their filter to show the relevant videos and send an url. And of course it looks great too!

Check it out!
