REFLECTIVE BOOK COVER DESIGN
FOR AUTOBIOGRAPHY BY TOVE DITLEVSEN
A REFLECTIVE GRAPHIC DESIGN ASSIGNMENT FOR THE ESTABLISHED DANISH PUBLISHING HOUSE GYLDENDAL. I WHERE ASKED TO CREATE A CONCEPT AND COVER DESIGN FOR THE REPUBLISHING OF THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY BY THE BELOVED DANISH AUTHOR TOVE DITLEVSEN. ISPIRED BY HER OWN WORDS IN THE PROLOGUE:
“FOR MANY REASONS IT IS A CRAZY TASK TO WRITE ABOUT YOUR OWN AUTHORSHIP. IT'S JUST AS IMPOSSIBLE TO ASSESS,
AS TO SEE YOURSELF IN THE EYES WITHOUT A MIRROR.” Quote by Tove Ditlevsen 1975.
“DET ER AF MANGE GRUNDE EN SKØR OPGAVE AT SKULLE SKRIVE OM SIT EGET FORFATTERSKAB.
DET ER LIGE SÅ UMULIGT AT VURDERE DET SAGLIGT SOM AT SE SIG SELV I ØJNENE UDEN SPEJL.” Citat Tove Ditlevsen 1975.
THE BOOK IS COVERED IN MIRRORFOIL PRINTED ON THE FRONT AND BACK WITH THE EYES OF TOVE DITLEVSEN.
TOPPED OFF WITH HER PERSONAL HANDWRITTEN SIGNATURE IN SOFT PINK.
