Andy Archer – Designer

After several years of working in children's reference titles, I was employed by Eaglemoss Publications as a visualiser on their Disney The Lion King part-work. I then went on to become a Senior Art Editor, overseeing design from initial development through to finished title. The position also involved liaising with artists’ agents and commissioning illustrators, as well as managing junior designers across a broad spectrum of projects from licensed characters through to adult interest. Since 2010 I have been working as a freelance designer both as an individual sole trader and also collaborating with other publishing professionals to produce fully packaged titles for major publishers.

Recent clients include:

Penguin

Hachette

Dorling Kindersley Pat-a-Cake

Lonely Planet kids

Donor Conception Network

I also have experience of working in an advertising studio creating web banners, POS and general marketing literature for clients such as KP, McCoy’s, Londis, Evian and Smithers Pira.
