I responded to the idea of the title, “Poetry Lives Here,” by creating a physical indication of “here.” The cover is an opening bracket, with a closing bracket on the back cover.
The work in this publication is from emerging poets. I chose typefaces from Village font foundry’s Incubator collection for emerging type designers.
The 2-colour process printing option allowed us to have colour throughout while still keeping costs lower than a full colour publication.
For the launch, we had the authors sign copies with white paint pens and decorated those copies with patterned paper.
A 48-page supplementary publication for the poetry journal Contemporary Verse 2 of writing by poets under 25.
