In this “behind the scenes” talk from 2014 titled “Out of our minds – How to achieve everything we have … in a much shorter time”, Daniel takes us on a painfully honest journey through the do’s and don’ts, ups and downs, and many fails Stupid Studio has experienced since setting up shop in 2006.
Showcasing his agency’s colorful work in graphic design, branding, and animated type, Daniel Gjøde reminds us that sometimes, the smartest thing we can do is to stay stupid.
Today Focus Forum catches up with creative director, windsurfer, and father: Daniel Gjøde.
Hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark, Daniel founded Stupid Studio in 2006 – an independent digital creative agency set out to do stuff for good companies, who believe they can change stuff to the better, funnier, or simply more comfortable. He’s also a board member of Design Denmark and the Advisory Board of the Danish School of Media & Journalism.
Danish designer, Daniel Gjøde managed to condense all that’s happened since he spoke at TYPO Berlin 2006 in just 45 minutes in his presentation “Out of our minds – How to achieve everything we have … in a much shorter time.”
I’m 36. Creative Director, Windsurfer and Father.
I founded Stupid Studio in 2006 – an independent digital creative agency set out to do stuff for good companies, who believe they can change stuff to the better, funnier, or simply more comfortable.
I’ve been working with motion graphics and digital concepts within culture and television for longer than I can reasonably remember, and it has given me a user-centered approach to what I do. It’s all about creating something of value, that means something to people.
I’ve appeared on many conference platforms waving my arms enthusiastically and shouting stuff about the stuff we do, and I’m a proud board member of Design Denmark and the Advisory Board of the Danish School of Media & Journalism, where I ruthlessly decide the future of young students (usually while laughing frantically).
Recently I pulled the plug and went travelling with my family for 5 months. To get away. To focus and find myself again. To find out what matters.
I never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Daniel Gjøde: DJ and founder of Denmark’s largest community for electronic music, Motion Graphics designer at TV 2 Denmark, founder and creative director at Stupid Studio, guest lecturer at Danish Design Schools, Member of the advisory board at The Danish School of Media and Journalism.
