Back to Basics

My take on Finnish Book Publishers Association's competition which challenged participants to create a symbol system for digital, printed and audio books. In May 2011 Back to Basics was awarded with honorable mention amongst high quality attendants. Some similarity can be seen with the winner…

Design from Finland

Another competition entries, this time for Association for Finnish Work, which needed a new symbol for Finnish Design (design is here understood in broad sense of word indicating industrial products but also for example software and services). 

Inevitables?

Centage! – The Smart'n Fluid CSS/LESS Framework

Centage! is my five cents in defining a good fluid css framework.  The reason for creating Centage! is purely practical. I started to redesign my own site and wanted to go for a fluid grid, mostly just for the challenge of it. Less.js, the cutting edge technology gave means to do pretty much eveything I've ever wanted with CSS. Centage! at GitHub.

Typography experiments

Some typography experiments from 2010. Above: Serious Slab, initiated at Reading U TDi course, middle: Alvar, inspired by Alvar Aalto door handle design, bottom: KL, an attempt to improve Kauppalehti page heads.

It takes TEN to feed ONE

A controversial poster design inspired by the fascinating positive propaganda at The Energy Standard. See the whole poster.
