I produced 13 illustrations and graphic design for the relaunch of this romance novel series. It’s written by Synnøve Eriksen and published by Cappelen Damm. Editor Lisa Svendsen wanted a proper 70’s feel on both illustrations and design. We had lots of fun and creativity on this one.
These illustrations are set in Belfast, Berlin, Hammerfest, Lofoten and Blindern, Oslo. Theys also require that you study fashion, interior and various design from the era. Gathering reference and understanding is very often a fun and interesting process.
70’s graphic design is a world you really don’t want to get out of, once you dive in. How can you not fall in love with the shapes, palettes and patterns from that time? I really hope there will be more 70’s related projects coming my way.
