Description

I have been active as a graphic designer for more than 20 years and have worked for major swedish magazines and publishing houses; books, covers, cards, posters, home pages, illustrations, CD covers etc. I have also produced several books of my own. The last one is  called "Uppenbarelser", Apparitions. derkert.deviantart.com/journal… I you have any need of my expertise please contact me here on DA or mail to edvardderkert (at)gmail.com


The cover above is for Thomas Pynchons novel V. The shortest book title I have encountered. The title can, among other things, refer to Venus, but using Bottilcellis "Birth of Venus" as it is, would have been a little to obvious so I opted for the goddess to vanish completely into thin air. It took some time, but in the end I was quite pleased. Some more book covers and graphic designs can be found on my petrified homepage. www.edvardderkert.se/design/in… or in the gallery "covers".derkert.deviantart.com/gallery…

Thanks, I was rather pleased myself. Lot of retouching though!
