Today we had a special treat for children's book and picture book people. Professor Martin Salisbury from Cambridge School of Art was the keynote speaker at a mini seminar organised by Aalto University's Graphic Design Unit. There were also interesting speakers from Finnish picture book field, such as
Ville Tietäväinen,
Kristiina Louhi and
Maija & Anssi Hurme. It's such a rare thing to have something like this arranged in Helsinki. I wish that this is the beginning of more events like this for picture book enthusiasts, researchers, illustrators, authors and 'picture book makers'!
My partner, co-worker and fantastic illustrator/graphic designer Jussi
made these limited palette designs below based on my pictures. We are having new business cards printed, and there was some extra space
to fill in on the sheets of offset paper, with limited two-colour palette.
It's fun to see what it looks like, when somebody else has
done the computer fiddling on my illustrations... The one on top is from a pencil sketch I had forgotten about. The one below is based on a piece of artwork I did for my exhibition two years ago.
