When researching modern book designs I believe I found out what type of Graphic Design appeals to me. My eye immediately went to the book designs full of color, shape and boldness. I have a strong background in studio art, drawing, painting, illustrating (probably from my lack of ability to draw realistically) therefore my graphic design has always mimicked a fine art approach. I came across this illustrator online, named Helena Lunding.
Her Designs are so simple, but complex in how they interact with the images she illustrates.
The color scheme is bold and eye catching, and I love the font she uses in this design.....
On her website this is what it says about this green book titled "Frontallobs demens":
This is the finalized version of the Book Cover “Frontallobsdemens”. Brainwaves and thoughts slippering out. Painted background gives the rough feeling contrasting to the illustration.
I love this one, the background is a painted design with really good shades of the lime green and again, her illustration is really modern and playful. I love the contrast between the white and the green and how the elements are working together. I think this is similar to how I make art and design. I love contrast, color, simplicity and fun design work.Helena Lundings Design Work was viewed at:
