‘The Films of Nicolas Winding Refn: Genre, Gender, Glamour’
During this year, I have taken on a couple of book cover commissions from the publishing house Liverpool University Press. One was for GSA lecturer and academic David Sweeney, named ‘The Films of Nicolas Winding Refn: Genre, Gender, Glamour’, which was released in early May 2024.
The brief was to design a cover which encapsulated Refn himself and the iconic scenes from his movies whilst circumventing copyright laws. I couldn’t draw the actors, scenes, or Refn himself, so had to become very creative with the design and layout.
