Book Design and Artistic Direction

Works and Thoughts is a publication presenting the works and reflections of students from the Institute of Design and Fine Arts, Lahti University of Applied Sciences. The book includes interviews and projects from all departments: Graphic Design, Multimedia Production, Photography, Jewellery Design, Vehicle Design, Fashion Design, Packaging Design, Interior Architecture and Furniture Design, Industrial Design, and Fine Arts.

I was responsible for the entire graphic design of the book, including concept, layout, typography, cover design, colour palette and a custom pattern. My aim was to create a timeless and enduring visual identity where the student works remain in focus. As a recurring graphic element, I designed a subtle honeycomb pattern to represent collaboration and the diverse structure of the institute. The pattern appears throughout the book and as a colourful element on the cover. The book was published by Lahti University of Applied Sciences in 2011 and distributed to students and international partner institutions.
