Jorun Mod\u00e9n is an author and teacher in creative writing. Her book “Skriv skriv skriv: Verktyg f\u00f6r f\u00f6rfattare” is a handbook for both aspiring and seasoned writers, gathering a decade of Jorun’s experience as a teacher in creative writing.<\/p>\n
During our initial talks we decided on “playful elegance” to be the guiding phrase for the design of this book.<\/p>\n
Illustrations for the book are made by Anders Muanmar who has a distinct style influenced by art nouveau<\/i>. With this in mind I decided to let art nouveau<\/i> influence some of the design choices throughout the book. ITC Benguiat, a typical art nouveau font, was chosen as one of the prominent fonts. Decorative illustrations in line with Ander’s style were created for the title pages and folio.<\/p>\n
Caslon, a stylish and widely used font for typesetting, was chosen as the main body text font.<\/p>\n
To further enhance both the elegance and the playfulness of the book, parts of the cover were given a copper foil stamp treatment.<\/p>\n
After a very successful Kickstarter campaign this book was made ready for print in early 2021.<\/p>\n
