DTP

When I’m not working on web development, I also work on desktop design. Here I carry out tasks from individual illustrations to entire book layouts. I design covers and set up entire books and make them ready for printing.

I always focus strongly on how the final result is experienced by the reader in the end, for example the choice of the right typography, paper choice and the expression in the book design itself, etc. It’s always a good experience to sit with a concrete result in your hand, compared to your graphic work only existing via a screen.

An autobiography by Jørn Bie (1939 – 2023) My first major book assignment, which I worked on for my father. I was given the responsibility of building this entire project from start to the printing process itself. Although it was a long and complicated task to solve, it was very pleasant as it was done in cozy collaboration with my beloved father. It was a very educational process and this assignment became a journey and introduction into the book design and printing universe.

Harigasti solutio – fuldbyrdelsen

By Leila Buchardt Joensson

An illustration assignment for the historical novel Harigasti solutio, written by my friend Leila Buchardt Joensson, with whom I have previously made medieval art and exhibitions.

The graphic assignment was to create a map that could show the reader where and which cities the journey went to, for the main characters in the book. A journey that went from Denmark down through Europe.

Manual For Sjælen

By Steen Kofoed

A book assignment where the content was on a spiritual topic. Here I solved the graphic assignment with a porous smoke-hidden design. In the interior of the book I used a light, transparent background texture and a nice soft typography, which suited the light background motifs well. I chose to make the cover dark with lighting effects, so it seemed indefinable with shadow play in the smoke effect. The whole book ended up becoming a nice sensation when you sit with the book in your hand.
