DESCRIPTION

Ruotuväki, the official news magazine of the Finnish Defence Forces, is published 22 times a year and has a circulation of 27,000 copies per issue.

During my compulsory military service, I had the honor of working as a desktop publisher and illustrator for Ruotuväki. Our editorial team included several journalists, two photographers, a website administrator, and myself. Together, we collaborated closely to provide the best reading experience for our audience.

My responsibilities involved layout, illustration and photo editing. Below, you can find some examples of my work.

"Nicolás León served his military service as a graphic designer for Ruotuväki, the Finnish Defense Forces’ news magazine, from October 2006 to April 2007. His responsibilities included graphic design, layout, and illustration.

León consistently demonstrated creativity, professionalism, and the ability to find clear solutions for his editorial team. Additionally, he designed a successful 16-page ‘Rookie’ special issue.

His work ethic led to a well-deserved promotion to Corporal. I highly recommend him for positions requiring creative skills and innovative thinking."
