I love learning about illustrators like Maija Louekari. I first was drawn to this album cover in the Musikraphics book, and when I checked out Maija’s website I was happily surprised to recognize her other work for Marimekko. Some of my favorite images I posted a long time ago were her designs. Like these two:

And I bought a set of towels a year ago with this print, but I never knew who designed it until now.

For my class, I’m thinking of showing her work as a visual reference for a hand drawing + design exercise. She actually makes it look fun!
