Mado - book design

For this school projekt I had to design and and layout the Danish book 'Mado' by the author Hanne Højgaard Viemose. The word 'mado' means mother and the book is about a woman who has an abortion and her messy and rough life. 
I choose to work with the red thread as a metafor in many different ways. It is used both on the books cover but also as a repeated element throughout the book; on all the chapter  pages and the red colour in the images in the books middel.
Transparency is also something I worked with for this projekt by using see through paper and different layers of printing.

Different suggestions for the cover.
Yarn pattern for the chapter pages. Printed on transparent paper as seen below.
There is a section with red tinted images in the middel of the book.
