Now that all story submissions have been received and chosen for the 2008/2009 book, each entry will be granted a full page in the book where the author’s image and text will be matched with other graphic elements to create a fully designed page. Our Portland Story is seeking graphic designers and illustrators to help with the design process. If you are chosen to work on the book as a designer, you may contribute as many designed pages as you would like, working with Our Portland Story on concept and direction. Each page in the book would be completely visually unique.
As a designer volunteering your services, you would receive full credit for your creation on the pages you designed, ANDÂ an entry in the Designer Credits section of the book. In the Designer Credits section, your name will be listed as well as your URL, preferred contact information, an image (sized approx 1″x1″), and a 40 word description of you or your work.
This is a great opportunity to promote your design abilities and contribute to an awesome community project. If you are interested, please send a portfolio URL or portfolio samples to melissa@ourportlandstory.com.
