Francesca Cosanti – Designer

Illustrator and visual designer with 15 years of experience specialized in children's books, scholastic books, posters and advertising.

Overview

Born and raised in Italy, I love to travel, not just with my mind, to take inspirations from places, shapes, and colors. At present I work as an illustrator and a visual artist for publishing and advertising, collaborating with associations, companies, and agencies. My illustrations are realized mainly. My creative process begins with the act of "think". The most complex thing about my work is to have the right idea, which will satisfy the client, the public, and, of course, me. After the idea, I realize the sketch and all its possible evolutions. I realize the sketch on paper or directly in digital. When the sketch is ok, I create the final illustration. Depending on different variables: technique, details, setting, characters number, work affinity, color palette selection. My palette changes often, but usually the color red is always included. A lively color, that instills energy and doesn't go unnoticed. In the last years, it has been almost a "trademark" in my works. In my free time, I dedicate myself to my passions like: dogs, cooking, swimming, books, travels, photography, and long walks.
