Carl-Johan Lindqvist is co-founder of the Gothenburg-based design studio Lundgren+Lindqvist.Lundgren+Lindqvist’s practice covers visual identity design, art direction, graphics, print, packaging, signage, and web development. In all of these domains, their work sets the bar in terms of taste and sophistication.L+L describe themselves as a studio with "purpose and precision," while Carl-Johan specializes as a developer who “utilizes code as a tool as natural to the design process as pen and paper.” Our conversation unpacks exactly what these ideas mean. We discuss their inspirations, process, philosophy, and tactics; their advice for younger generations; and the tensions between business, technology and craftsmanship that define creative professions today.http://designdisciplin.com/carl-johan-lindqvist/# Related Books, Links, and Resources- Grid Systems in Graphic Design by Josef Müller-Brockmann: https://geni.us/grid-systems- Detail in Typography by Jost Hochuli: https://geni.us/detail-in-typography- Getting Real by Basecamp: https://geni.us/getting-real-dd# Connect with Design Discipline- Website: http://designdisciplin.com- Podcast: http://podcast.designdisciplin.com- Instagram: https://instagram.com/designdisciplin/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/designdisciplin/- YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCtXM3JdnERaNOiFKaHZJL_w- Bookstore: http://designdisciplin.com/bookstore# Connect with Lundgren + Lindqvist- Website: https://www.lundgrenlindqvist.se/- Facebook: https://facebook.com/lundgrenlindqvist- Twitter: https://twitter.com/lndgrnlndqvst- Behance: https://www.behance.net/lundgrenlindqvist- Github: https://github.com/lundgrenlindqvist- Instagram: https://instagram.com/lundgrenlindqvist- Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/lndgrnlndqvst# Episode Bookmarks00:00 Intro02:02 The Space03:14 Inspirations06:21 Books11:40 Value Creation18:13 Style, Constraints, Responsive Design22:32 Blessings and Curses of Mobile Technology30:43 Brand Identity Checklist35:24 Advice for Young Designers41:08 Favorite Failures47:40 Parting Advice
