Dana Collins

Dana Collins – Designer

Art Director and Graphic Designer who brings over 20 years of experience within the editorial and publication sectors.

Overview

For over 20 years, I have designed award winning book cover design, book interior design, and periodical editorial design (of veritable complexity) for book publishers, magazine publishers, non-profit organizations and corporations. I have worked for such companies as MasterClass, Feral House Publishing, Process Publishing, Rare Bird Literary, and Penn State University Press. I cut my teeth at LA Weekly and Los Angeles CityBeat.

As a voracious reader and obsessive print designer, I understand the purpose of book craft, intellectually, culturally and commercially. I am calm, collected and easy to work with. I will go to great lengths to make your project appealing, relevant, and tight/meticulous as possible.
