Kotikulmilla / Book Design

Kotikulmilla – Kuvia Vantaalta ennen ja nyt /
In the neighbourhood – Photos of Vantaa before and now

This book is an exhibition catalogue for #ThrowbackVantaa exhibition that I designed as well for the Vantaa City Museum. It illustrates the chances Vantaa City has gone through during the last seven decades.  I chose colors, fonts, paper and the binding to fit the Photographs that are mostly from 1950’s to 1970’s. 

*** The book was awarded with an honorable mention and was chosen to the Finnish Book Committee’s The Most Beautiful Books of 2018 collection. ***
