“Lokumsbogen 2017”, fun fact book by Sten Wijkman Kjærsgaard and Ole Knudsen (paperback).

BOOK DESIGN

The publication of Lokumsbogen 2017 (Eng. transl. The Toilet Book) marks 18 years in a row. And as usual it offers a generous collections of quirky facts and fun but useless information. Over time the process of creating the book cover has evolved into a sort of game. In this way the editor gives me a cue, a word or an image, that must be taken into the design of the book cover. It hasn’t yet failed to spark a handful og good ideas. This year I was handed an image of Shakespeare to be included on the front. Being a toilet book and all … well, I didn’t think twice. And the rest is history. Five different images were used and tweaked to make the final result.
