With the knowledge that scandinavia has popular folk tales and prevalence in its society, it was found that folk pattern is a popular design feature in the countries also. With the use of nature and nordic animals, these patterns form an interesting design of which I thought would be interesting and relevant to try and include in my designs for the book covers, with nature being a prevalent subject talked about in all three books.
Also briefly looked at for inspiration within the idea of using knitwear in order to create the typeface for the covers, Anni Albers was looked at. Anni Albers used textiles as a way of expression, with exploring the technical limits of hand-weaving to find innovative ways of using woven fabric as art and design.
her work inspired the use of the 'pixel' style of work used within my work, looking at the way she used fabric to create the pixel look, of which I wanted to achieve in the typeface the covers.
