HIM Venus Doom
G R A M M Y A W A R D N O M I N E E 2 0 0 7 . Working with Ville Valo of HIM is always a rewarding creative process. For this package, Ville and Varnish envisioned a madman’s journal. Ville worked side by side at Varnish Studio creating the handwritten pages and collaborating on art. Many Polaroids emerged from these sessions and it was decided they should be included in the book. Convincing reproductions were made and 3 “Polaroids” were randomly placed in each package from a possible of 9. In addition to a Grammy Nomination, this package was featured in the Communication Arts 2008 Design Annual.
