A Tale of Two Countries

A Tale of Two Countries is a digital gallery project lead by the Finnish Institute in London, created together with The British Library, The National Archives of Finland, The National Library of Finland and several other archives. The digital gallery offers its visitors carefully curated pieces of the shared history of Finland and Britain and their cultural, political and economic relations. It consists of digitised historical materials, like letters, newspapers and photographs.

It maintains digital cultural heritage, inspires the further use of digital collections and invites people to enrich the gallery with personal keepsakes. A Tale of Two Countries is part of the official programme of the centenary of Finland’s independence in 2017.

My task was to design a visual identity for the project and a versatile website that is informal and attractive for all selected audiences. http://www.taleoftwocountries.fi/
