BOOK DESIGN CONCEPT
STUDENT PROJECT FOR KADK THE ROYAL DANISH ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS
SELFMADE ENTIRELY, AS A EXAM PROJECT IN BOOK DESIGN FOR THE ROYAL DANISH ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS “KADK”. THE BOOK IS MADE TO LOOK AND FEEL LIKE A BODY. USING SHAPES OF THE FEMALE BODY AND A SKIN COLORED PALETTE. VISUALIZING THE STORYTELLING, ABOUT A GIRL STRUGGLING WITH WEIGHT, GOING FROM UNDERWEIGHT TO HEALTHY. THE TEXT IS GRAPHICALLY FOLLOWING HER WEIGHT GAIN, WITH A GROWING TEXT COLUMN INSIDE. STARTING AS A WAVY THIN COLUMN AND ENDING AS A FULL SIDED COLUMN. IT GIVES THE EFFECT OF A FLIP-BOOK, WHEN THE PAGES ARE TURNED RAPIDLY, THE WAVY COLUMNS SIMULATES MOTION OF THE BODY. THE TITLE OF THE BOOK, IS TRANSLATED AS “THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE TO RELIEF”, THEREFORE YOU HAVE TO LITERALLY RELIEF THE BOOK FROM THE HARDBACK BOOKCASE. THE BOOK IS DESIGNED TO VISUALLY TELL THE STORY WITH FEW BUT STRONG ELEMENTS.
I MADE IT INTO A GRAPHIC DESIGN BOOK, WITH MY GRAPHIC DESIGN FOR A BOOK. THE BOOK IS CALLED PRINT FINISHES - PUSH YOUR DESIGNS FROM GOOD TO GREAT. CREATED BY CHINESE PUBLISHING HOUSE SANDU PUBLISHING EDITED BY DESIGN 360° MAGAZINE.
