"bouquet"

A good old post card with a good old Hello! - special flowers for a special person, though.

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.

upgrade

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. :)

Here's my Valentine's Day greeting, click to see closer. :)

My VD post from last year can be found here. There you can also download a greeting card if you like any of the colors, and then print it or send it via web. Love you all, *mwah.

designing a magazine layout

Let's have a look at some more schoolwork. Lately we have been doing interior magazine layouts. I'm already familiar with Photoshop and InDesign, but I'm still totally enjoying the assignment! The task was to visualize your own home in a few magazine spreads with some self-photoshopped pictures and decoration ideas. I named my magazine 'Homehow' and the issue is inspired by traveling.

I had fun with textures and went wild with writing. :D You see, now our tiny student apartment has been turned into a "renovated residency" with natural floor planking, vivid green-painted wall surface and an edgy brick wall. Oh how I wish all that would be true...

All the fabrics seen on the pillows (x3) contain woven textures from my previous post. I have adjusted the pillow colors to fit in the surrounding atmosphere.
