About me

  • Name: Marko Saarelainen
  • Profession: freelance designer
  • Expertise: album artwork and illustrations, websites and pr-material.
  • Year of birth: 1975
  • Place of residence: Helsinki, Finland

As a freelancer I've done graphic design as well as web design for following bands/artists and labels: Pestilence, Sickening Horror, Full Metal Records, Murdershock, Steen1 and Vic Records.

I also work for Global Domination, which is led by Kenth Philipson, a close friend of mine. My input for the site includes graphic design, maintenance and development work.

As you can see, I've focused pretty much towards music scene, especially the darker and heavier side of the genre.

In addition to my career as a freelance designer I worked as a web designer between 2000 to 2008 for three different, relatively large companies in Finland.

During 2008 to early 2010 I ran my own business but due to very rough and merciless... ehem, I mean challenging market situation I decided that I'm better off just freelancing for few selected clients on my own time, as a hobby, and concentrate on larger projects for my future employer instead. In other words I couldn't make living from my hobby. I suppose the timing wasn't the best possible so let's see what future has to offer.
