HI!
I'm Magnus, an Illustrator, BOOK COVER DESIGNER
& surface pattern designer from Norway.

I work freelance from my studio in Oslo, where I translate my creative ideas and thoughts
into vibrant and eye-catching designs. My style is a combination of something graphic,
colourful and fun, with a retro yet modern feel to it. 

I have a BA in Visual Communication from Bergen Academy of Art and Design
in Norway, and Kolding School of Design, in Denmark.

I love coffee, books, peppermint, chocolate and seahorses. I also like roller coasters.

Here is the finished copy of @amysgiles’ debut novel «Now Is Everything» that I posted earlier. I like the contrast between the matte paper and the shiny pink heart! 💖Swipe to see a few more details.

I recently illustrated my first children’s book. It’s a board book, with different animal sounds. This is a lil’ sneak peek of a starfish having fun at a tea party. Release this autumn!

One of my absolute favourite books from last year is «Kan vi bare late som», by @booknerdmille. It’s super funny, charming, sad, emotional and everything at once. I really enjoyed reading it, and illustrate the cover. -
Ikke overraskende at du er nominert til Uprisen. Grattis! 😊✨
