I've been the Art Director of BirdLife Finlands magazine "Linnut" (=finnish for Birds) for over two decades and I consider it as a diary of my personal journey as a designer. After many makeovers and facelifts I've noticed that the design has gotten more simple every time. Less tricks or effects, more meaningful space and basic elements. I like it and apparently so has others since we have been awarded multiple times:
A best magazine, a best magazine cover, the most beautiful magazine etc.
And I personally was selected as a layout artist of the year in 2006.
