About me.

I’m a UI/Web Designer and Developer from Finland who works with the wonderful people at Kisko Labs. I’ve been designing web sites for over a decade.

My name is Viljami Salminen and I specialise in responsive web design, development and web typography. I have worked for clients such as Elisa, Metso Corporation, Save the children, Iltasanomat, The Family Federation of Finland, Tehy ry, A-insinöörit and Hopeinen Norsu just to name a few.

In everything I do, I am constantly inspired by the artworks of 60s and 70s jazz vinyls. Especially the records that Blue Note Records released during that time are close to my heart. I love their simple, but rich typography heavy look (…and the music). That’s also one of the reasons why I’ve been collecting 7" and 12" vinyls for a long time.

My site — the one you are browsing right now — is responsive, which means that it adapts to the size of your device’s viewport. It uses the so called Mobile First technique and progressive enhancement to focus on the content. Currently it adapts to screen resolutions ranging between 230–2000 pixels. Content is also semantically identified with WAI-ARIA landmark roles and microdata properties.

The body typeface of this site is PT Sans by Alexandra Korolkova, Olga Umpeleva and Vladimir Yefimov and Mocha Mattari by Ryoichi Tsunekawa is used for the main headings. Sub headings use Trump Gothic East by Stanislav Marso.
