Hello world, I am Joakim Grønli - a graphic designer residing in Oslo, Norway. I recently finished the senior year of graphic design at Westerdals School of Communication where I worked in Studio 3 which is a unique in-school design agency run solely by the students. Now I’m working as a freelance designer and am available for commissions.

Gullkalven
Every year 5 designers are selected to work on the visual profile for Norway’s biggest creative communication awards. It receives more than 1300 entries from students around the country. Each time a new unique theme is chosen, the only thing that stays the same is the name (The Golden Calf). In 2009 we chose the very relevant financial sector and added a religious obsession with gold into the mix. The stage was set for students to invest their ideas, concepts and outstanding work and turn it to gold.

I worked with Magnus Mohold, Lill Susan Fjeld, Steffen Olsen and Anette Stabenfeldt on this projected together with two Art Direction students, Even Moseng and Mats André Kristiansen.
Killing
Visual profile for an up and coming cloths brand. It was inspired by the mythology surrounding the norwegian kid goat from sagas and fairy tales. The Norwegian word for kid goat is – as you might have guessed: Killing [ˈçɪlɪɲ]
The client also wanted a logo for the showroom where he presents the clothes in a relaxed cabin atmosphere. At The Lodge you can enjoy a cup of hot chocolate or a glass of wine while you select which garments you like.
For this project I hand drew the lettering for Lodge and Killing. My partners this time around was Katinka Jørgensen, Helene Ryenbakken and Christoffer Grav.
Utsnitt 09
Roughly translated “utsnitt” means crop. The Utsnitt Awards are the most prestigious awards for commercial photography in Norway. Together with Torni Støvland and Kristen Børje Hus I designed the complete visual profile for this years show. Including the logo, colors, web, flash banners, news letters, trophies, banners, the catalogue with the winning photographers and much more.
The Fifth Element
A tribute-poster to a great movie. Thank you mr. Hubble Telescope for providing the imagery for the collage.
Alt skal vekk - Bård Torgersen
Translated to English the title would be something like Everything’s Got to Go. You can rip off the area between the doted lines on the paperback.

Magazine
A couple of spreads from a magazine about graphic design that inspires me. Download the magazine here. The text is largely collected from various sources on the internet since the assignment focused on the visuals. (The magazine was awarded with a diploma in the Art Direction category at Gullkalven 2008.)
