Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman is one of my favourite books; however, I have always had a problem with the book's design as I do not believe it complements its subject matter. I set out to redesign this book, aiming to make the book feel thematically accurate to the subject of the book.
Outcome:
My redesign combines Neil Gaiman's Norse mythology with historical European Art. I divided my redesign into two sections: story, printed on the off-white pages, and Art, printed on the green pages; the art pages are often accompanied by tip-ins of the Art. All the body copy is written by Neil Gaiman, all of the Art is public domain, and all of the art descriptions are a mixture of online descriptions and my own.
