I Am Not A Poet

CLIENT
Street Roots

BRIEF
Created the concept and design for the book cover of Street Roots’s first poetry anthology. Street Roots is a nonprofit that creates income opportunities for people experiencing homelessness and poverty by producing a newspaper and other media that are catalysts for individual and social change. For this project I recruited the amazing talents of Chris Haberman, portland’s unofficial, “artist for the people” who is responsible for creating several of the fabulous murals in Portland.

I am Not a Poet: 15 Years of Street Roots Poetry & Art is available for purchase on Amazon.

SKILLS
Book cover design, photo retouching (several of the photos used for the interior were from the Street Roots archives and a few were badly damaged)

TOOLS
Adobe InDesign and Photoshop
