KALIBER10000
Toke Nygaard / Michael Schmidt / Per Jørgen Jørgensen
KALIBER10000 is an independent, non-commercial web zine which strives to inspire, to provoke, to allow both others & ourselves the joy of having full creative freedom to give people a break, and re-charge their batteries. We want to put the focus on design, on the whole creative experience, and show everyone out there that not everything has to be streamlined, menu-to-the-left, make-it-look-like-Amazon. Like we say on the site, the things we feature may not always be to your liking, but they're always interesting.
We also want to shoot some holes into some of the more outspoken web design “gurus” who need to get off the lecture circuit and on to the web, so they can actually see what's happening out there—instead of merely theoretizing about it in front of a handful of eat-everything-that-old-men-with-bad-haircuts-say inclined business consultants.
KALIBER10000 is built up around the weekly “issue”—an experiment-like format where anything goes, and where both known and unknown designers/ design teams get to strut their stuff, flex their creative muscles, without having to worry about anyone looking over their shoulder or second-guessing their decisions.
To make sure that KALIBER10000 always has a sweet-smelling summery flavor, we have expanded the site over the years with a ton of other goodies, including the massive [on] display exhibition, different forms of special features (games, animated stories, anything that doesn't fit within our issue format), and an almost-hourly updated design news feed, which is kindly supplied by our news-writing buddies from all over the globe.
KALIBER10000 has been featured in numerous design magazines & design books, but we try not to let it go to our heads. The core team behind KALIBER10000 is Toke Nygaard, Michael Schmidt and Per Jørgensen, all originally from Denmark, but now true citizens of the world. We are two-thirds bald, one-third John Lennon's evil twin, and one-third a slight whiff of wet dog. We know that makes four-thirds, but we don’t mind.
