-
Authors Richard and Kári go on a voyage of discovery to research Kári’s Icelandic roots through Myth and legend. The cover aims to capture this sense of epic adventure through a woodcut style illustration which includes symbols like Odinn’s two ravens, Huginn and Muninn. The package was embellished with icy silver foil plus a PMS spot color. The internal layout features a colour image introduction and ending. The text is designed to differentiate the two author’s voices with a variety of imagery woven throughout. A map in keeping with the style was commissioned to help readers put the stories’ context.
