Andreu Balius workshop

In January we had a workshop with Andreu Balius from Typerepublic. It was intensive work and fun at the same time. I started to work on this type, I wanted it to have big contrasts between thin and thick lines. Drawing these thin lines in Fontlab was a real pain, I’m still recovering:)

Anette Lenz poster workshop

We had a really good workshop with a German designer Anette Lenz. Our topic was the New Year’s wish for Helsinki. The first assignment was collecting photos of different places that reflect certain emotions (respectful, profound, encouraging … ) We had to share moments in our life when we were unexpectedly and positively touched by something and also write a paragraph about what Helsinki means to us. Posters came out of these stories and places. It was really great to get to know Anette!

Slavoj Žižek

A slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek (his picture is taken form his website) gave a lecture in Kiasma today, titeled Cinema and ideology: report from battleground. He talked about ideology – he described it as an invisible background noise that is never spoken about, but is rather everything that stays between the lines and compared it to consciously codified scenes from famous Holywood movies (Casablanca had quite a leading role in his talk). He was provocative, interesting, funny and gave us a lot to think about. After the lecture there was a screening of his movie in three parts Perverts guide to cinema. I sure won’t look at David Lynch’s movies the same way as I used to anymore:)

Vandalizing Taik

This week we had an interesting ‘poster’ workshop with the Image-shift guys. It all started with questions about politics and ended with a bunch of very personal problems that we all share as graphic designers. These were then glued all over Taik.

Book covers

After visiting another great fleamarket I decided to pay more attention to old book covers. So I’m starting a flickr group – I want to make a proper collection. I’ll post a link when there’s enough interesting book covers to show.
