Lots of creations

Stamps were not the only thing Skov was and is interested in creating. In addition to his work with stamps, Skov has also designed posters and participated in designing furniture. Furthermore, he is also estimated to have created around 1,300 book covers. Many of these creations have taken place in his studio, which is located in his private home in Christianshavn, Copenhagen.

Tasks and solutions

Today, Skov is still alive, which is evident on the new poster here, called “UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL POSTER NR. 17”. This poster was made in connection with the seventeen world goals set by the UN to focus on improvement of the world. In connection with this, Skov was tasked with creating a poster for the world goals “Partnerships for the goals”. The poster appears in the most beautiful four colours that give it a simple and neat expression. Click on the poster for displaying the poster with a frame – you will surely love it!
