1982? Still alive?
Yes I know, I never update this site. Last time was like a year ago..
So what’s happened? Well, it’s spring time 2010 and I’m still working and playing with graphic design, photography, internet, media, web and pop culture. I really like it. But I find it hard to gather all the stuff under one name, one umbrella. I tried with Studio1982, but it was hard. I instead started to use my real name, Kalle Magnusson, since that’s really something that’s common for every project I’m involved in (duh..). But Studio 1982 is still my company and I still do a lot of graphic design. So If you need me, just send me an email.
Also don’t forget to check my new website: www.kallemagnusson.com

I had to much to do, so instead of doing any of that I did a set of wallpapers/background images for my desktop. Some fruits, and vegetables.

Yes, It’s been a while since i updated the portfolio. Does that mean that I’ve not been working? Of course not. A few big projects are on it’s way out now. First, I’ve been working on two books for the great think thank Fores in Stockholm (together with MJT). Both on the environmental issues. Great stuff. They are now in the hands of the printer (always a bit scary) and will be ready for distribution in a week or so.
Secondly; I’ve just started working with the business magazine made by Øresundsinstitutet. They have a new editor in chief, Johan Wessman (winner of Stora Journalistpriset 2008), and he is taking the magazine to a new and much higher level contentwise. Hopefully we will do a total makeover (yes, a redesign) of the magazine during the spring. Exciting!
And what else? Well the usual… A lot of new record covers. I did the design for the fantastic Jonathan Johansson album (released last week), and also a website for him. It turned out really good I think. I also did the cover to the new sampler by The Swedish Model, and a cover to The Kid’s new single, and a small website to Montt Mardié and… What else. Yes! I’m working on the cover of the next The Fine Art Showcase album (and singles/posters/ads et cetera) which will be released in March.
A few new exciting web projects are also planned for March – I’ll be back with more info on that in a while, and also with snapshots from the above mentioned projects.
