An event poster for Talamak (progressive rock band) and Malcolm Lincoln (electro-pop group) live performance held in Viljandi, Estonia. It was kind of wall-to-wall event, so I wanted to equalize the performers on the poster so they could get even attention. I played with their syllables in their names so it would generate a sort of rythm and music itself.

Research about the border-zone between Estonia and its biggest island Saaremaa in the Soviet Uninon. 23 years ago the island was the western border of Soviet Uninon, packed with military equipment aimed at Western-Europe.

Anu Vahtra and Paulien Barbas workshop dealt with 2D and 3D phenomenon, where the outcome had to relate with EKKM (Estonian Contemporary Art Museum). I was interested how would EKKM look like, if you could see it threw up-side-down glasses. I found that at a certain angle you could see the room and the reflected two-dimensional after-image at the same time. By viewing differents spots around EKMM, this optical illusion created new rooms for the viewer.

Me and Andrus Aavik had to research a color in Matthias Kreuzer's workshop. The outcome had to end up in a black & white booklet. We researched color red and decided to show the emotional side of it – anger. For this we used English phrases and generated news titles where different professions loose their temper. Also we tried to literally express those titles in photos.

This is a New York City travel-guide made using the information found on the Wikipedia link. I wanted to create a pocket-sized pamphlet which was easy to understand. Researching the article I found that NYC likes to compare itself with other US and world cities so I decided to translate the article into diagrams.
