Anna Perotti - Designer

I have over 20-year experience in designing books for art publishers. I work for publishers such as Thames & Hudson, Bloomsbury, and Tuttle, creating books for Art, Photography, Interior Design, Craft, Cooking, and Life Style, working with the like of Germaine Greer in The Boy and making successful books like Modernists & Mavericks an Amazon best-seller. Latest projects include Barbara Hepworth: Art & Life, The Foraged Home and The Iconic American House.

I take briefs from clients and read and discuss them in-depth. I assess the quality of the material before starting the project to avoid any disappointment. Using my typographical and image editing skills, I respond to the brief, producing solid and contemporary layouts for picture or text lead books—first, some sample pages and, when agreed, the rest of the book. I have a lot of experience checking proofs and in-depth knowledge about preparing files to print a quality book. At the end of a project, I will deliver quality files for printing or ebooks.

I moved to Singapore for a couple of years, freelancing for Asian and American publishers, gaining knowledge of the broader market and learning to work efficiently with a team spread worldwide. I have learned the art of understanding the needs of my clients and the importance of clear and effective communication. Communication, design skills and knowledge of the markets are essential to creating successful and beautiful books and covers.

I can't wait to start a new project with you!
