Christin Malen

Its been a while. Thats because I am working on a couple of huge things at the moment. I am making a magazine for MMW Architects for this exhibition they are having in Paris in December. I am also starting working on my photography skills. (Check out http://www.flickr.com/photos/christinmalen/ for more.)Thats because I like it, but also to gain a greater understanding in how to communicate with photographers for when i am working on a project and because I want to be able to do my own layout photography. So this is what I have been up to lately:

So Out Of Step Magazine has been out for about 3 months now. We are almost all out of copies, but already started a second issue. We have gotten a lot of great response on this project. Iceland Fashion Week just took 100 copies for their goodie-bags for press and special guests, so thats something we are really stoked about to. I just talked at Pecha Kucha about the magazine, and begged for money and ad-buyers so we can make the second issue better than the first.
This is from the release party at Bleed Design studio:

We also have a website: it looks like this:

Here is some of the press we got:

Me and Helene Ryenbakken made this for Revolver. Its used as a poster program and an ad in Natt & Dag. Think its a cool idea to show the house and all the fun and weird things and characters in it.

I did a campaign for Changemaker. “Its typically norwegian to earn money on war” It´s a poster, stickers, buttons, a phamplet and postcards.

Me and Zöe Waage did a campaign for the mathematics and science department at the university´s library in Oslo. We did tote-bags, t-shirts for the librarians to wear, beer-coasters for the student parties and an installation of green spots in the formation of the different libraries locations.

OUT OF STEP MAGAZINE is now released and out on the streets. We are on our way to Hovefestivalen to give a talk about the whole thing, you can see us there on Wednesday at 12.00 at the literature stage.

Grab a copy at one of your favorite shops in Oslo! Rubber Soul, Revolver bar, big dipper, Neseblod, Tiger, Hells Kitchen and so on! Its free!

You can also check out the issue on web on our new website for the magazine. Thank you Are Sundnes for helping me put it up!

So I haven’t posted much here lately and thats because I am super duper busy in NYC with my internship in V MAGAZINE and VISIONAIRE. Check out www.vmagazine.com and www.visionaireworld.com

We have A LOT of great stuff going on for the first issue which we will make 2000 copies of and hand out for free when its done, hopefully in June 09. Cant say too much about that right now, but we have some AWESOME stuff and contributors already so geeet ready!
