🎨 **Book Cover Designer & Illustrator**
🖌️ **About Me:** I am a professional book cover designer and illustrator with a fine arts degree. I believe a book cover is the first conversation between the author and the reader. Every project I undertake is the result of deep textual analysis and the creation of a unique visual concept that captures attention and reveals the essence of the book.
📐 **Core Competencies:**
• Original cover design: jackets, dust jackets, endpapers, and flaps for various book formats.
• Custom illustrations: digital art, vector graphics, watercolor, and graphic textures for fiction and children's literature.
• Typography: professional font pairing and custom lettering for title pages.
• Promotional materials: 3D mockups, posters, and social media banners for book launches.
• Pre-press preparation: CMYK color separation, bleed/trim checks, spine width calculations, and fold marks.
🛠️ **Tech Stack:**
• Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator (raster/vector graphics and processing).
• Adobe InDesign (final cover assembly with spine and back cover text).
• Procreate on iPad Pro (rapid concept sketching and detailed digital painting).
✨ **Experience & Expectations:**
• Successfully delivered 40+ cover projects for domestic and international fiction publishers.
• Strict adherence to deadlines and seamless collaboration with authors, editors, and print technologists.
• Target Salary: $65,000 CAD annually (or per-project freelance rates).
• Setup: Full-time, 100% Remote.
