Creative peaks formed into posters



There is at least two times in my life that I got a creative moment and participated in competition, where you had to design a poster.

In Nov/Dec 2008 I participated a competition to design a poster to the famous rock festival in my home town. The festival takes place in the middle of the woods of Joensuu, and there is alot of open space and some huge festival tents. My vision was to show some UFOs surfing above the festival, and the rays coming from the UFOs are like festival tents. The colours are really fitting to the northern location. I used paint-programme and it took me maybe 10 minutes to create this masterpiece of my mind.
I didn't win the poster competition, and neither got nominated.

The other time I found a competition in the internet, where you also had to design a poster for the festival, but for an imaginary festival, where you also had to invent a name. I think my "Vibes on Bear 2009" festival poster is a really sympatic and unique poster, and the set is pretty awesome. If possible, maybe I arrange this festival one day. This online competition was sponsored by Adidas Originals.
This time neither my piece of art didn't get further nominations.

But if this kind of possibilities arise again, I will try the third time.

The living figures on the ice

Metsäkartano 01.01.2010.
Can you see those couple of small dots on the right side of the picture just near the horizon? There is going my sister and a friend with their two dogs. My sister and the friend wanted those two dogs to become lovers, but they didn't know that the male one was gay. There was another nice love story, but with another dog. In this picture my sister and the friend are talking out loud and laughing, and the dogs are running crazy around and biting each others necks.
