Capturing Nature’s Mood in Blåtone: My Latest Book design

WORK | I’m excited to share my latest book design project, Blåtone, created in close collaboration with two amazing photographers, Wenche Dahle and Lars Andreas Dybvik. It’s been an inspiring journey, and the result is a beautiful book that reflects their exhibition, centered around diptych photography.

Blåtone comes with three different cover colors, and the typography captures the essence of the musical term blue note, often tied to a mood of melancholy and contemplation. Like the subtle dissonance in blues and jazz, the book invites readers to go beyond what they see at first glance and explore the deeper emotional connection between the images and nature. Some of the pages are creatively cut to give a glimpse of the exhibition’s images—turn the page, and you reveal the full picture hidden behind, inviting a deeper exploration.

I hope the book inspires others to reflect on their own relationship with the natural world. See more from the book here.
