(Preface) 'In the last five years a new wave of designers have won Scandinavia an international reputation for graphic design excellence. Their prolific output, especially on the web, has influenced designers and design audiences world-wide. Many are now working abroad, with cities such as London and New York experiencing a great influx of Scandinavian talent.
Scandinavian designers are at the cutting edge of web design, producing cult sites, for example the Danish K10k, designed by Toke Nygaard, Michael Schmidt and Per Jorgen Jorgensen, and Swedish collective ACNE's online gaming community netbabyworld. At the other end of the scale is Norwegian illustrator Kim Hiorthey whose work is distinguished by its use of painting, collage and photography, or the beautiful, textural print work of Swedish Fellow Designers or Gunnar Thor Vilhjalmsson from Iceland.
Featuring work ranging from pixel-based art, 3D character design, web and video projects to record sleeves, flyers, posters and editorial design, 55° North brings together fifty-five of the best graphic designers from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.'
