Pentagram has revealed the design for singer Nick Cave's latest book Sick Bag Song which was written during his 22-city tour of North America in 2014.

The design for the book, which reproduces in colour 22 sick bags filled Cave’s scribbles about the tour, was inspired by the visual language of airlines and blue chip, corporate America.

The book has a pared back feel with a tactile cover featuring a white embossed design.

The Sick Bag Song is arranged in the same order as Cave’s tour, beginning in Nashville and ending in Montreal. Each destination is introduced by a simple graphic and an image of the city’s corresponding sick bag followed by images, sketches and observations by the Australian born singer.
