It has been a blessing working with an artist that is so involved, talented and driven.
But Marko has more than just these qualities. He also has a good understanding of what an artist wants and knows how to put these ideas into the visual realm.
Now, that's being a real pro.

This is online portfolio of Marko Saarelainen, a freelance graphic/web designer operating in/from Helsinki, Finland.
During the last decade or so I've done various design work, mostly for the music industry. In plain english: album artwork, illustrations, posters and web sites for various bands and labels.
At the moment I'm full time student, but I'll freelance every now and then if/when the project fits my schedule. So don't hesitate to contact me if artwork represented at the references-page impressed you.
