The Sun shines on Africa
I have made illustrations for the Foreign ministry for several years, previously for their award-winning magazine Kehitys–Utveckling, which specialised in global development issues and development cooperation.
The magazine won Best organisational media in Finland, chosen by Oma Media twice, in 2021 and again in 2023.
"According to the jury, the format of the Kehitys-Utveckling magazine has been carefully built and its concept is diverse. The magazine has high credibility and quality. The visual design of Kehitys-Utveckling creates an enriching reading experience." (source in Finnish)
