This marks the first week for the newest addition to the family, Elena & Riccardo arrived straight from Fierenze! They will stay with us forever and ever and ever. And we're delighted!
Lately we've been feeling the urge to illustrate alot. Here's a first glance on wallpapers we're working on.
Over a year ago Helpful's contributed to the Vormator challenge with a bunch of prestigious graphic designers. The challenge was to create a wonderfull illustration based on 6 shapes (see the vormator.com site for more information)
Our contribution was deemed good enough to get in the book and we're still waiting for the thing to get published....it's going to be good when it get's published.
Together with our friends at Unit9 we created this lovely interface/setting. The whole thing started of as a project regarding a button or two, but ended up being alot more than that.
The feeling we where going for was clean but still a bit quirky and we're really happy about how the landscape turned out, only wish we could have made the duck explode...
We've just finished work on a big Heineken project for unit9 and are at the moment experiencing a sleepless week due to some really neat stuff we're doing for Adobes Adweek and Samsungs launch of a photo site.

Samsung Style has launched! Helpful Strangers have taken care of the interactive direction on this project and also been in charge for the overall look & feel of the site. It's all about liquid metal and to emphasize this even more we've created a very nice widget that you can see whilst you load the site, but also deeper into the site by clicking "play with style & function".
Honey Bee's are disapearing rapidly and no one knows why, so Häagen-Dazs® ice cream is raising awareness on the pleight of our stripypollinating friends. To do this Goodby, Silverstein & Partners teamed up with Unit9/Helpful Strangers and created a microsite that's all about making people aware and having fun doing so.
The birth of the Bee Avatar on the site and early sketches of hairstyles.
After months of hard and dangerous hunting we have finally found a place to call home (except our actual homes where we sleep). Helpful Strangers office is located only 5 min from Medborgarplatsen and only 10 m from the fire station where they recorded the wonderful series “Nile City”. O and did we mention that the beautiful Katarina kyrkan is just outside our door.
