Created for my own research into Scandinavian design, Ursa Minor contains graphic design and layout for seven books (all written and photographed by myself) on the subject. All maps and illustrations used in the project as well as the seven-spoke viking sun wheel used as the project logo was hand drawn using a combination of pen & paper and a Wacom tablet. 

This was my masters project at the university of Westminster, London in 2013 & 2014. The project was awarded a first. 

The sun wheel is comprised of the first seven letters of the Viking alphabet, known as the futhark. 

The book covers are shown in full width, with the front cover to the right and the back cover on the left side. The spine would be somewhere in the middle. 

This is the basemap for all geographic and statistical maps used throughout the project. The map was hand drawn using high resolution imagery from NASA and Google. The basefile is more than 12000 pixels wide.
