A book design course assignment was to create a outlook of book series for a definite target group about a subject close to you. I designed a series of covers for Finnish translations of classic Sci-fi novels targeted to teenagers.
The design and layout of the first issue for The Finnish edition of the world’s largest golf magazine Golf Didest. The brief was to get rid of the mother publications – in European eyes lightly awkward looking – american styled layout and update it to more modern, spacious and european style magazine better suitable for Finnish audience. The content consists of partly Finnish, partly international and American stories.
Long and numerous side notes and 1/4 colour printing made the layout Architect Lauri Louekari’s doctoral thesis “Architecture Of The Forrest” a tricky but interesting task. As a solution I based the layout on an flexible 4 column grid, that enabled the side notes to to run along with the text they referred to by invading the space of the text block.
