Rainbow Over Portsmouth NH, July 2016 / Shanna Compton
Hello.
I'm a graphic designer specializing in books and book-related ephemera. Clients include Action Books, Barrelhouse Books, Black Lawrence Press, Black Square Editions, Bloof Books, Brooklyn Arts Press/Augury Books, Omnidawn Publishing, Penny Candy Books, Riot In Your Throat Press, Soft Skull Press, and others. While this portfolio primarily showcases book covers, I also designed the interiors for most of them, and I often contribute hand-lettering, illustrations, vector graphics, photography, and photo editing/digital restoration/compositing, depending on the project. I am often the only designer working on a small press poetry project from start to finish, including providing publicity graphics like reading flyers and social media imagery.
In addition to the book design work I'm showing here, I'm also an artist working with linocut, woodcut, monotype, collage, and other printmaking techniques.
If you've got a design project you think I might be good for, please use the contact form to get in touch.
I work out of my own studio (remote only) in the Downeast region of Maine.
