Print graphics
Did you know that when I was studying advertising at Turku University of Applied Sciences, I did my thesis on window tapes? I've never worked in a printing house, but during my years as a graphic designer I've made a wide range of printed products, from large-format prints to business cards.
Turun teknologia-kiinteistöt
In 2020 I was responsible for the visual design of the 10-year anniversary publication of Turun teknologiakiinteistöt. It was about 50 pages.
Burger King
In the years 2018-2021 my client was Levi Hotel Spa and the Burger King and Classic Pizza were located in that hotel. During that time, I did a lot of print ads promoting the hotel and their restaurants. Looking through Burger King's brand manual, I learned a lot about how exactly big brands define themselves and what kind of guidelines they have.
Suunto A1 posters
When Suunto launched its new watch Suunto 9 Peak Pro, I was asked to design several A1 sized advertising posters. I can't take full credit for these designs, but I wanted to point out that a big brands like Suunto has also trusted me in print design.
Bioretec booth
In 2021, I designed the look of the booth for biotech company Bioretec for the orthopedic fair held in San Diego, USA. Some parts of the Bioretec visual identity like slogan logos and color palette are also designed by me.
TSVV window taping
TSVV is a house rental agency in Turku, Finland. They ordered a brand facelift, window taping, etc. from me. This design is visually very simple, but the project had to take into account things like traffic, sunlight direction and sidewalk width, so I wanted to point out that I have an understanding of things like this as well.
Nordic Pizza Company
In 2020 we did a small print campaign with Nordic Pizza Company and my task was to design a coupon sheet that matched the brand identity.
Perhaps the coolest print product I've made was a 12 meter high print ad outside Suunto's Vantaa office. I don't have a decent picture of it, but believe me, it was spectacular!
