Overview:
This brief is aimed at redesigning a book jacket for a current poetry book called 'My Life is a Poem,' by Mark Everyman; a self-described borderline hippie. This book contains poetry and short stories on various events of his life. The new design is intended to be something 'a little bit fresher and brighter than the current book.'
Book Contents:
The book contains poetry written by the author (born 1946) from about 1960 to 1990. The poetry itself covers everything from personal feelings about smoking pot in college, the birth of his first child in 1981, and shoveling snow to how he was affected by various world events including the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger.
My Life is a Poem is a mix of happy, sad, angry, and just plain ordinary events and observations by a self-described borderline hippie who has lived all over the US but calls the New England States home even when living part of the year in a Colorado ski lodge or on an Indian reservation in Oklahoma.
Guidelines:
The trim size of the book is 4.5 x 7 and 560 pages. The book jacket should be one page containing the flaps, spine, and front and back cover.
