extreme haste

Phew! I mean... I have been really busy with school. Our class is going to participate in the biggest international textile fair, Heimtextil , in Frankfurt next January (!).

Go check out our project blog and have a look at what it's all about. We are on Facebook too! :)

Johanna's new logo

Johanna Karttunen is a gifted photographer, currtently based here in Helsinki. She is a wizard on picturing space with details, and she's also one of the owners at Olo-huone vintage store. She is available for interior photoshoots - and she's very passionate about that, too. :) Here is the logo that I designed for Johanna.

I decided to give my logo a refreshing touch! The turquoise element is now history and instead there's a small swirl-thingy reaching to the heights. Can also be considered as tentacles... I hope you like the new look. :)

Astu Butiikkiin!

Here are the first results of the corporate identity design that I have been doing for Astu Butiikkiin! -web portal.

The portal is not only a showroom for small business companies that sell unique native design products (interior / clothing / accessories), but also a place where the customer can easily browse through and compare different products - all at one place. The actual transaction is completed in the manufacturer's own online shop. The portal is meant to open at fall 2013.

At this point we have made decisions for the logo, blog header and Facebook cover picture. Here they are!

Up here: logo and blog header

The idea for my design took shape of good old foundation stones on what buildings used to be built on - a hint of traditional craftsmanship. The highlight color is chosen to be fresh green, since the business idea is new. Also the customer can make great discoveries among the multiplicity of all products. There is a feeling of pixelation and operating online, too.

Ja tällä kertaa myös tiivistelmä suomeksi. :)

Olen työstänyt yritysilmettä Astu Butiikkiin! -verkkoportaalille. Portaalin on tarkoitus avata ovensa syksyllä 2013. Ideana on, että kotimaiset pienyritykset saavat tuotteitaan näkyville, ja Suomessa valmistettuja design-tuotteita etsivät asiakkaat voivat löytää ja vertailla tuotteita kootusti yhdellä sivustolla. Itse ostotapahtuma hoituu valmistajan verkkokaupassa.

Olemme nyt tehneet päätöksen logosta sekä blogin ja Facebookin kansikuvista. Ulkoasu logolle ja graafisille elementeille sai kimmokkeen perinteisestä kivijalkamyymäläideasta - traditiota ja ammattitaitoa. Portaalista löytyy myös tiedot lähimpien kivijalkamyymälöiden sijainnista.

Korostusväriksi valittiin raikas vihreä, sillä liikeidea on uusi. Lisäksi tuotteiden joukosta voi asiakas tehdä uusia ihania löytöjä. Fiiliksessä on mukana myös pikselimäistä rakeisuutta, sillä kyseessä on verkkoportaali ja koko homma tapahtuu netissä.

Tällaisissa ajatuksissa jatkamme eteenpäin. :)

logo for AND design product

I have been co-operating with Anna Nygård and here's a logo that I made on request for one of her lovely products. It's a bag called .VESKA, made of recycled window blinds. It comes in several colors, is very practical and looks cool too! More on that later on... ;)

DEEN iT show at the International Cultural Centre Caisa

Tomorrow after work I'm heading to a fashion show where my friend Aaminah is going to be the head of design for her new scarf collection. And this is the second time already! Today there was also an article in Metro newspaper and I felt so proud!

Remember the DEEN iT purple logo? It's made by me. :) Next some pictures of the last year's show at Caisa. This time Aaminah (in the picture on right) will launch the collection by herself.

And here is the today's article on Metro newspaper (with quite small font and only in Finnish unfortunately).

Now go and click LIKE on DEEN iT facebook page!! :)

// In addition: the next day there was also an interview with great pictures in Helsingin Sanomat. Nice! ;D

DEEN iT

Tässä on mun toteuttama uunituore logo ystäväni yritykselle! He suunnittelevat toiminimellä musliminaisten muotia ja Kulttuurikeskus Caisassa järjestetään ensimmäinen DEEN iT muotinäytös parin viikon päästä. JEE! :D
