Aarni's personal notes on design
I've made several logo designs. One that is over 10 years old and still in use is the logo for Thinking Business, a management consultancy. I'm a partner at the company.
The logo is very simple. It consists of a stylized thought bubble and the company name.
In 2007 I entered a product design competition. The requirement was that the accessory had to be made from 1.5 to 2 mm steel plate. My idea -The 3-board- was a triangular thing that had many uses. I did not get a prize, but it was fun to participate.

Earlier this year we wanted to have a roll up as a background to our COOLacademy video broadcast. I made three versions. Two were typographical and one based on a photo. The photo version went into production. The final size was one meter by two meters.

I chose the watch parts and colors and added my own dial image. The end result is an interesting combination of hard and soft elements.
Over the years I've created graphic design for publications, printed items, and web sites. I also have paintings, drawings, and pastel work.
I thought that I could share some of my work with short comments every week.
This is a design for a post card. It looks like flames, hence the title.
