Alex Dickson – Designer

I am an illustrator with a keen eye for stunning design and a passion for visualising the written word.With an emphasis on drawing and creating by hand, my artwork tends to take on it's own unique character and aesthetic. I really enjoy the process of working with authors, because their work is already a rich tapestry of visual story telling. From the initial consultation to the final delivery, I take the utmost care in listening to and achieving the goals that each author has set out for their cover design.In the summer of 2013 I received the Gold Star award from The Book Cover Designer for my work on the cover for The Butterfly Collector by Adam Dickson.As well as books, I also work within the music industry, producing concert posters and merchandise for touring bands and promoters across Europe. I have worked closely an arts and music festival in Norway that showcases visuals and moving image with live music. My other passions include print-making, pyrography (wood burning) and playing the drums.
