I wanted to have professional look for the covers and for the disk label. Several years ago I used to do graphic designing  for my late comic magazine ( Kylmä Metalli ) But during the 'computer era' I have been able to avoid all other forms of 'desgining' than basic webpages

My idea was to have modern looking, perhaps 'photoshopped' images or something for the cover. As my wife Essi, her father Mauri and her littlesister Ellinoora are all familiar with digital photographing, it was no surprise that I choose  Ellinoora for the task as I know she might understand mys music at some level. I explanated the main idea, and asked her to create something 'spiral' and 'spacy':

After some months, she send several suggestions, and I asked her to be even more 'radical'. Then it happened ! She send the final images almost as they are now printed on cd and used here in the webpages.

I was totally amazed, instead of using 'photoshopped' graphics, she turned to traditional carboard and scissors -technique. My first impression was that 'ok, now we have something like Pink Floyd had for the cover of 'Dark Side of Moon. The music and mixing mus meet this level of art' So we continued with Petri to do even deeper sounding record.

Everyone who has seen the cover, has been really surprised positively. Ellinoora has been able to reach the atmosphere of my music and Petri´s collaboration perfectly and also added her own visio about 'Spiral Archives'.
