Founded an agency

:iconouwenz:

Hey,

Long time since I last time wrote a journal here. A lot has happened lately. I quit my full-time job to establish a completely own agency, Buena, here in Helsinki with 5 former colleagues. Since the site is only in Finnish at the moment here's a little description about us:

"We craft high-quality web solutions.

Every website has its own goals. We make hand crafted solutions for each customer's unique purposes. Content, visual and technical solutions are made for one and only purpose. To work in balance, to reach the targets – and finally to increase your business. Don't hesitate to contact us. We'll gladly help you figure out what You need to do in the digital world."  

www.buena.fi

We also made a little case study about our site and brand design here [link]

Also check us out on Facebook [link]

Peace,
Olli

Evokeone "Voyage"

:iconouwenz:

"Evoke welcomes you to take a "Voyage" with us as we showcase a variety of images and music that wanders through the imagination. "Voyage", Evoke's 23rd release, is filled with work from over 30 talented artists and musicians from across the world.

Tony Rivera, our featured artist for this release has taken us to envisioned scenes from other galaxies, with impressive detail and vibrancy. James Merrill and Parker Gibson have interpreted the theme with vivid abstract work, while newcomers such as Adrián Romero have produced high quality vector work.

Get yourselves belted in and prepare for a trip across time and space!"

Evokeone.com

Got two collaborations in the pack. Hopefully you like them!

Cheers,
Olli

Evokeone v5 and new exhibition!!

:iconouwenz:



EVOKEONE v5

A monumental release. One full year in the making. AGE doesn't represent merely another step down the same path; on the contrary it is an exhibit expressively characterizing the paradigm shift within the collective. All the pent up energy, the motive force behind the recent changes in our group were channeled simultaneously into one hundred of the most drop dead gorgeous works we've ever produced.

From the psychedelic abstract works of James Merril, to the energetic scenes captured by our featured artist Aaron Campbell, to the sublime photographs of Linus Leandersson, you're in for a visual feast accompanied by the ambient soundscapes of our audio director, Keith Alban, and many other Evoke musicians. Bring the colors, bring the noise, bring on the new age!

Also check out the dA Article about the release -> [link]

Links to my 3 submissions:

1. [link]
2. [link]

But be sure to check the whole pack, it's awesome -> [link]

Greetz,
Olli

Evokeone v5 and new exhibition!! June 3, 2010 5 Comments No Favourites

Latest news, mag features, tutorial etc.

:iconouwenz:



Hey,

Alot has been happening lately so I thought I share these in this journal.


  • Biggest news would be that I'm turning back into full-time freelancer. My full-time job at the agency ended so I'm now going to enjoy the summer and work only on freelance projects before I start finding full-time jobs. I haven't had basically any kind of summer vacation in 3-4 years so now I think I deserve one...But maybe if I get some VERY interesting offer I might skip it ;)

    Well anyways this means totally new portfolio with ALOT of new works. Ofcourse now I have time to produce more personal stuff but I'll be also releasing client works done with the agency and which I haven't shown to public anywhere before.


  • I was featured at Computer Arts magazine couple months ago among other Finnish creatives in "Finland Focus" article. It was my first appearance in CA so it was nice :)


  • I had 4 pages interview in Taiwanese dpi magazine's April issue. Haven't got the magazine yet but it should be there.


  • I made to the finals in UUTheory competition and the voting ends on 10.5. so if you like my design, would be cool if you can vote it. Check the design HERE. You find the links for voting in the description.


  • There has been people asking me how I did one of my favorite works called Unique. Well now there's a tutorial written by me on the latest .psdmagazine about the making process. You can find it from HERE



I know I have told I have couple works ready but haven't been able to release them yet. Well the situation is still the same except there are 3 new works ready :) And I REALLY hope I can publish them next week the latest...

Ps. If you're interested working with me on some projects don't hesitate to contact me via mail contact[at]ouwenz.com

Cheers,
Olli

Evoke 20th exhibition: Mixtape

:iconouwenz:


In the works for about four months, Mixtape represents a new and stylish deviation from the usual expected of Evokers. An extremely music centric release, Mixtape delivers stunningly on all fronts. Big ups to Keith Alban (brainst0rm) for really upping the bar in the Evoke music section in his debut release.

Congratulations as well to James Merrill, aka dshPls ( ~toThePixel ) for his long standing contribution to the Evoke community. It is with great honor that we have chosen him as a featured artist for this historic twentieth release.

Go check out the pack now!

I had one piece in the pack and it's also available as wallpaper for you to download ---> [link]

Alive

:iconouwenz:

Hello,

Decided to submit some of my web interface stuff which have kept me busy lately. These are just to show I'm still alive eventho haven't been submitting anything for ages.

I'm starting to make a new portfolio for myself aswell as doing new personal stuff. But there are still my graduation work and client works which slows the process but I'll try to finish the new version before the end of January. I will also publish some personal art with the launch of ouwenz.com version 3. New version will probably be full Flash site.

Oh and just bought Photoshop CS4 extended and I love it :)

Best regards,
Olli-Pekka
