The client wrote a series of poems and published them in
book form. I was contacted to design a book
cover that reflected the era of the Rune stone. I was supplied with an image of a cave drawing that had
been downloaded off the internet, but the image was only
72dpi and not suitable for print. Therefore, the image needed
to be re-created, which was accomplished utilizing adobe
illustrator and adobe Photoshop. Rune writing was used
as far back as the 2nd century and was carved
in stone. Many cultures, including the Vikings,
Scandinavians and the English, practiced these writings.
In order to mirror the writing style and typography of the era RUNEnglish 1 font was
applied. To add drama and mystique
to the look of the cover, oxblood red was employed for
the font color.
