Denver Westword

I design the weekly cover for Denver Westword, the city’s leading alternative news publication. I work closely with writers, editors, production, photographers, and illustrators to develop a clear visual direction for each story. With fast turnarounds and constant collaboration, I handle everything from concepting and typesetting to designing and occasionally illustrating full covers. Here are a few of my favorites.
