Book Project

This project is a re-interpretation design of the dutch book “Gelukkige slaven” by tom lanoye.  I read the book and it reminded me of chaos and being lost and then finding yourself again.  So that is what inspired the concept for this book design.

Concept:  Chaos and transformation

Cover

Titel: Metamorfose

Metamorfose is the dutch translation of “metamorphosis”.

Now let’s take a look at the word metamorphosis, which has its origin in three Greek words:

Meta- comes from a Greek word meaning “beyond” or “change.”
Morph comes from a Greek word meaning “shape.”
-osis comes from Greek as well, and means “state or process.”

So translated to english it means: “process of changing shape”

And the interesting part is that i decided to split the concept and design into three parts before i realised the story was also split into three big chapters, So it all came full circle.

So all 3 parts of the book are designed differently but are still connected.

Spreads

Here are 10 of the spreads to give an idea of how the design flows throughout the book.

Part 1: Downfall

 

Part 2 : association

 

Part 3 : Hope
