As a young designer fresh out of school, there were ‘firsts’ that one strived to achieve, the first logo, poster, album cover, and design of a book. For this book of poetry, I aimed to produce something that stood apart among others of its type, and a cover that represented the trauma and rebirth that the young author experienced. On one hand, I believe this was accomplished, on the other, it was the recognition of an industry “rock-star” that thrilled me.
