Taming the Wolf: Resolving the Conflicts Ruining Your Life, written by Greg Stone, is a manual designed to guide the reader through mediation from the convening stage to reconciliation. The book draws on the peacemaking tradition of St. Francis of Assisi.

The book is the cornerstone for a broader peacemaking project Taming the Wolf Institute. Spout was commissioned to design and execute a complete branding package. The response has been exceptional. Readers have remarked how the book cover draws them in and visitors to the website have appreciated its inviting, user-friendly design.

Website

Design requirements included creation of inviting visual presentation that captured contemporary and historical aspects of Taming the Wolf while providing easy access to multiple features and content segments. Original art created for the site was based on the legacy of Franciscan peacemaking.

The site was built on WordPress and includes a shopping cart.

The site includes a subdomain, Pilgrimages, that mirrors and integrates the overall visual presentation while providing a unique appearance and feel.

Book Design & Illustration

The front cover was designed to present an impression of danger or compassion, depending on the reader’s state of mind. I chose to paint an Arctic wolf to reflect intense emotions involved in conflict.

The back cover represents reconciliation. For this purpose I chose to paint an image of the wolf walking alongside St. Francis.

Thus, the front and back cover design mirror’s the reader’s journey as they progress through the stages of conflict resolution.
