Oodi is Helsinki’s new Central Library that opened just a couple of months ago. It’s build with the intention of becoming a living meeting place. Its wide range of services and facilities are available to residents and visitors seven days a week, from early in the morning till late in the evening. Oodi functions as a living room located right at the heart of Helsinki.
Oodi is situated on a hugely significant site in central Helsinki: facing the steps of the Finnish parliament building, the Eduskuntatalo across the Kansalaistori square, a public space flanked by major civic institutions. It’s literally in the heart of the city.
The ground floor of Oodi extends the Kansalaistori square into an interior public space. The purpose of the ground floor is to make each of the facilities of the library apparent and accessible and provide a non-commercial interior space open to all.
This architectural design principle resulted in the idea to not photograph the building as a whole, but to use the glass façade as a mirror. It emphasizes the openness and transparency.
When visiting Oodi, take (also) the time to smell the cedar wood lining the construction. Especially when it rained and the sun returns to heat things up, it creates a whole new experience…
Technical stuff
This is a 3xp HDR shot. Handheld. The X-T2 pressed against the glass façade of Oodi for the mirror effect and stability. Post-production was done with Aurora HDR 2018 and PS CC. I added 3 copyright signs. The latter is, alas, there to stay due to the fact that my photos were frequently copied. So, don't bother commenting on that.
A kind of old picture Dillan took of me before Design Principles class a week or so ago.
I love the lighting in it, the perspective, the framing...its just good. Thanks, Dillan, haha.
Press 'L', PLEASE!
Boston’s Port is not just a gateway for global trade but also a testament to historical resilience and architectural prowess. Nestled in the heart of Massachusetts Bay, this port has been an economic lifeline since colonial times, evolving from a modest docking point for merchant vessels into one of America’s busiest cargo hubs.
As you approach Boston’s waterfront, you’re greeted by an awe-inspiring sight – towering cranes that dominate the skyline. These aren’t just any cranes; they are marvels of modern engineering that echo Boston’s rich history in every rivet and steel beam. The cranes’ design pays homage to both function and form, standing as silent sentinels that have witnessed revolutions both industrial and political.
Walking along the docks, one can almost hear the echoes of history – from tea-laden ships sparking revolutions to wartime fleets bolstering freedom’s cause. Each crane tells a story not just of cargo loaded or unloaded but also of architectural evolution over centuries. Their robust frameworks speak volumes about advancements in metallurgy and design principles that have turned these structures into icons of efficiency and strength.
The Port’s architecture is a blend of utilitarian purpose with aesthetic consideration – it’s where form meets function in spectacular fashion. The juxtaposition between historic brick warehouses and state-of-the-art facilities reflects Boston’s respect for its past while embracing innovation.
Visitors to this historic site will find themselves immersed in an environment where every bolted joint narrates tales from yesteryears while actively shaping global commerce narratives today – truly making it a cornerstone not only for Massachusetts but also for international trade routes.

The Blackboard UX team created a team mission and principles that drive their approach to created quality designs.
Note the shapes formed by the divided "2013" in the middle of the skull shape. Their black negative space contrasts with the thin lines of the rest of the skull, forming the illusion of eyes. The word "Villains" also achieves an appearance of teeth on the mouth portion of this abstract skull.

This one was a fun one...
FYI. this isn't what my room normally looks like. I made that display for this project.
I took this for a Seven Deadly Sins themed photography project. This is as steamy as it gets in my room, so I decided why not take a picture of a girl admiring all her pictures of hot men. Sounds like lust to me. The Sexiest Man Alive Issue was very helpful for this project!

This image is split using the divine proportion, or ground thirds, along a horizontal axis. The first third is the awning of the bakery, along with its shadow on the window display beneath it. The second third is the blue square making up the window, and the final third is from the window's bottom frame to the edge of the poster. This final third contains the majority of Minnie, and the trays of pastries and the bottom layer of the cupcake display. Minnie and the cupcake tiers cross over the ground thirds lines, adding flow and sequence to the image.

My art works progress. One day I will finish them and post them online. Progress has been really slow.
And yes that is what my desk usually looks like. Right now it's piled high with art supplies, pens, notebooks and computer stuff that I can't see the top of the desk!
This poster uses almost perfect vertical symmetry in its design. The small Mickey Mouse head at the top of the poster marks the dividing point. From there, the word "Twenty" is split, three letters on each side. The number 13 roughly follows the line. This pattern continues all the way down, to the second Mickey head, banners, circles, and all other design elements in the background and foreground.
