PATTERN DESIGN - eurovision

if you were anywhere in europe this weekend you may have noticed it was the eurovision song contest, this year coming from helsinki, finland, and the graphics this year were the best ive seen. the kaleidoscope pattern was designed by 'dog design', and as you can see from the images above the hall was hung with huge fabric banners which were printed by marimekko. in fact the finnish textile legends printed nearly three kilometers of fabric. look closely at the design and you will see it is made from four elements : the letter f, a comma, an exclamation mark and a pointing finger. as well as decorating the hall the pattern appeared all across the city and was used for all tv graphics on the show. the UK came second from bottom by the way :( below more examples of work from finlands 'dog design'.
