Banner campaign - Dueling hockey players

Top-most: the first proposed banner with the fighting hockey-players. Right: the final used image.

Welcome summer - photo edit

Composite image made in 2013 for Salon Seudun Sanomat summer subscription offer, combining photos of the foreground rocks, background view, group of cows, sunny sky and a flower field (got little sloppy with the last mentioned, as they were to be mostly covered with the subscription form anyway). Rediscovering this made me realize the image could well have been for a dairy advert of some sort.

SSS adverts

Selection of various ads for the newspaper Salon Seudun Sanomat, 2006-2014.

The Huiskula rose bouquet photo on the Mothers' Day campaign ad above left was an unfortunately late addition (layout considered). Below right: the most time consuming part of this otherwise fairly simple looking ad was the photo collage on the background, linking Salo landmarks and familiar scenery into one image.

Rautia winter scenery

Used to regularly make ads for the hardware store Rautia for Salon Seudun Sanomat newspaper, from small front page pieces to more cumbersome whole spread 'collages'. However, this is the only one that stuck with me (no doubt because it required some more creativity than usual) and which I personally most care for: made this wintery mood image for their Christmas greeting by 'painting' some snow and ice on a summery stock photo from Kotitalo (one of their affiliate ready-made house manufacturers). It must have been running in their front page Christmas ad annually for at least 7 years now, iirc, maybe more. Most recently few days ago, this very Christmas.

Petit Alice vol. 2

Layout and graphics for Petit Alice vol. 2, 2009 fanzine of Japanese street fashions stemming from the advent of popularity in the gothic & lolita culture (hence the rather 'gothic' title - not my design).

What to do with a whole spread reserved for events and only few to report - whole spread illustration. I'm oddly fond of the treatment of the header here still, despite it's age.

Kunnallislehti - uudistus

Attachment leaflet for the newspaper Kunnallislehti, marketing the paper's renewed look.

Images used are edited composites of the papers I photographed on my desk added together with "summer fresh salad displays" courtesy of the Salon Seudun Sanomat photo archive and the weekly "Keskiviikko Keittiö" column especially.

Otso Salkkari - "Kyl Mäki Lukisin"

Salon Seudun Sanomat ads for rap artist Cheek's Salo gig to be reflected on the walls of Salo hall. Featuring Otso Salkkari mascot costume with photo edited bling and usages of the SSS logo's "readers" elements on the background pattern and the coat of arms. Loving the happy accident of the crown's ermine spots forming such fitting pair of eye brows for Otso. Gentleman Otso was an additional suggestion for the ad's run on papers.
