Book design featuring the life story of Ingrid.

A story about life before, during and after the Second World War. About growing up in Germany and moving to Denmark at the end of the war. About her family and finding love in a new country.

Connecting the design with the history

The books layout is influenced by the Bauhaus movement and it entirely grid-based. This is to showcase and connect the authors upbringing in Germany in the 30's with the story itself.
And to bring the author back to her roots.

The font used is New Order, as is it's a contemporary font with inspiration from around this time period.

From Traditional
to bold

The book design was originally created back in 2019, with a much more traditional layout approach, however, it only felt right to re-create the redesign in a bold and modern version.

The original designs can be seen below.
