Rafael Andres – Designer

I am a professional designer, art director, and illustrator who loves books—working with publishers in Europe, USA, Asia, and indie authors.

Overview

I am a graphic designer and illustrator specialized in book covers design. With thirty years of experience in different fields of graphic design, half of them dedicated exclusively to creating covers for the international publishing market. I offer now my experience and talent creating compelling and original images for self-published works and the wide book, e-book and audiobook market.

My role as the art director in an international studio puts at your disposal a seasoned team of designers, typesetters, and illustrators. After my assessment of the project, I will engage the support of my team of designers, illustrators, and typesetters under my creative lead.

Words can't fully express how much I enjoyed working with Rafael, but I'll give it a shot. Writing didn't come naturally to me; I took it up during a challenging time in my life. After making some progress, I discovered Reedsy, which led me to Rafael. Entering an unfamiliar world can be daunting,...
