Bookcover "Kris"- Re design

The Brief was to re design the cover of the classic book "Kris", written by Karin Boye. 

Back cover text:
"Through her feelings for the schoolmate Siv, the young Malin Forst is forced to reassess her life. On the threshold of adulthood, she is confronted with the need to find her own truth in a world of finished and fixed ideals. 

The novel is about the crisis of value in Europe after the First World War. The old values ​​had been ravaged and a new culture had not yet been built. Karin Boye takes her own youth crisis as an example when she emphasizes love as the strongest force in life's service. By affirming her request, Malin exceeds the prescribed lifelong role and begins a discovery journey into the unknown.

Kris (1934) is Karin Boyes formally most advanced novel. Through interdisciplinary dialogues and prosalic episodes, the story of Malin's settlement with herself and the cultural values ​​is brought to the end of confession to lifestyles."
