MoA09, the annual Masters of Arts graduation exhibtion of University of Art and Design Helsinki, TaiK featured over 80 new masters with their degree works and two weeks full of happenings, seminars and a petcha kucha.

As usual, the festival identity was commisioned from the students in the School of Graphic Design. So together with Tuija Tarkiainen we designed the identity “polyphonic harmony” and all the printed matter including e.g. the catalogue of all masters, MoA branded Arttu! magazine, exhibition map/programme leaflet, invitations, adverticements, posters, wayfinding signs and other graphics in the space. The excellent exhibtion architecture was designed by Viivi Laine and Kaisa Takala from the School of Spatial and Furniture Design.

For The Arttu! magazine I also drew a one page “making of” cartoon of the circa 6 months process, that made the whole exhibition possible.

The brilliant poprock band Palma released their debut album Be Bold And Mighty Forces Will Come To Your Aid in March 2009. When I was asked to do the cover design I was so inspired by their music, that the covers grew from originally planned simple leaflet with band info and greetings to an 28-page booklet with an illustrated spread for each song. The band logo is made by Viljo Malmberg.

Forcit Explosives is the leading producer of industrial explosives in Finland and it’s catalogue serves for more than only selling their products. It’s used in the construction yards for reference, as teaching material in education of chargers as well as by the police for identifying found explosives. While updating the outdated catalogue, we also focused on making it more usable, clearly illustrated and durable in the harsh working conditions it is used.

Calendar 2008

As a result of an unsuccessful attempt to find a calendar that would fit my needs, I started to reflect the way I personally use a calendar and conceive the course of time. I searched for new ways to make best use of the calendar as well as different ways to illustrate the flow of the day, week, month and the whole year. As a result of these reflections I designed a personal, hand bound calendar which shows for example the circulation of the year, sunrises and sunsets. In addition for every week there is space for notes and a dot grid for sketching fonts and such.
