Go create!

The first FabLab in Denmark has now opened. Visual identity by e-Types.
A FabLab (fabrication laboratory) is a workshop where everyone gets the possibility to give ideas a physical form. Through cutting edge technology like laser cutters, 3d printers, and CNC milling machines creative souls are able to convert their wildest dreams and ideas to prototypes and even final products.

Placed in Næstved the Danish FabLab is a part of the so-called Maker Movement. A movement that through cooperation, innovation, and modern technology empower people and bridges the gap between the digital and the analogue world. 

e-Types designed a visual identity that expresses the spirit that lies in the FabLab. With a design that is constantly changing and adapting to the context the identity inherits some of the creativity and innovative approach that surrounds the FabLab. Visit the website at www.fablabdenmark.dk.

We do photography!

e-Types people showing photography skills at Copenhagen Photo Festival
Senior designer, Emil Hartvig Andersen and project manager, Lasse Bech Martinussen are both on display at this year's Copenhagen Photo Festival. The festival aims at presenting significant Danish and international contemporary photography in urban space, art and cultural institutions, galleries and schools.

Even though their styles and genres are different, Emil and Lasse both excel in photography and share a passion for the field as something that on the one hand creates an outlet for that untamed creative energy and on the other hand, it generates ideas and inspiration for their work at e-Types. 

In addition to their work at the festival Lasse was awarded 'Best Magazine Cover 2011' by MDID for his photo of the Danish rap outfit, Malk de Koijn — Ud & Se, August 2011. And last year, Emil was featured in The Independent's Art section in relation to his "Jockeys" photo series from 2009.

e-Types highly recommends the Copenhagen Photo Festival, running from 7th-17th of June 2012.
