Imagining Shakespeare
Project by Kevin Sprague
I’ve created an exciting new book called “Imagining Shakespeare” that shows a comprehensive look at all of the award-winning photography, design, advertising and illustration work that I have done for Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, Mass for the last 15 years. It is 284 pages, 8.5×11 softcover, with luscious full color throughout.
I need $15,000 to print and ship a couple of thousand copies and make them available. I’d like to offer anyone who want to help me reach my goal to pre-buy a book for $25 and if we can sell 600 copies, I can get the printing turned around and the books into hands. The design is all done, the file is ready to print, and the printer is waiting. I believe that Kickstarter is the interesting, innovative and great way to bring this to fruition, so won't you help me by ordering a copy, or two, or three!
I'll be posting more info on the book and progress reports. You can find me on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/kevin.sprague1... or on the web at http://kevinsprague.com/ or follow me on twitter at http://twitter.com/SpragueKS.
Thanks for joining me on this exciting journey!

I'm a photographer, graphic designer and accordion player living in the beautiful Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts. We're surrounded by rich cultural offerings here with theaters, music, dance, art, museums, history and so much more. I've had the privilege of providing marketing and photography services to Shakespeare & Company (www.shakespeare.org) for 15 years as the Creative Director of Studio Two, and there is no richer medium to play in than the world of William Shakespeare. Every opportunity to re-imagine how to illustrate "Romeo and Juliet" or "Julius Caesar" is a chance to engage in the fantastic imagination of the world's greatest playwright.
I hope you'll join me in bringing "Imagining Shakespeare" to life.
