Francesca Cosanti – Designer

Illustrator with 15 years of experience specialized in cover illustrations, children's and educational books,interested in adults books too.

Overview

I'm an Italian artist with a love of travel: both as inspiration - drawing from places, shapes and colors, and enjoying travel itself and going back home to the countryside too.

I have been drawing since she was a child. After high school, I decided to study illustration and animation at the IED in Rome.

During my studies, I started illustrating greeting cards for a small Italian company. Now I'm an award winning illustrator and a member of the Association of Italian Images Authors. I mainly work digitally in Procreate and Photoshop. I currently work as a freelance illustrator with various publishing companies and advertising agencies and has published several books in Italy and abroad.

In my free time, I dedicate myself to my passions: food, swim, books, travel, theatre and photography. I also love taking long walks with my dog, Pina, and chatting with my three cats. If I wasn’t an illustrator, I would love to work with animals or be a pastry chef. I enjoy reading as a way to escape from reality and get new inspiration. When working, I enjoy having a movie or TV series on in the background. My favorite TV series is Friends.

Francesca has been amazing to work with! I LOVE the cover design she did! She completely understood what I wanted and the feel of the book! As far as the formatting, I had no idea what I was doing (my first book) and Francesca made me feel comfortable and held my hand every step of the way. She's fabulous! Look no further, you've found your girl.

This was the first time I have worked with anyone to design a cover for my paperback book, so I am sure Francesca spent more effort and time introducing me to the process than usual. She was always professional, patient, always responded within 24 hours during our project, and was open to my suggestions. I am very pleased with the result.

Francesca quickly understood the "look" I wanted to achieve for 2 E-book covers and a paperback book. She went above and beyond to visit my website and Facebook page for Moving With Kids and Critters. I look forward to working with her again and highly recommend her to others.

Thank you Penny!

Francesca is an excellent designer but more importantly, she is so responsive. Her turn-around time was extremely quick and she answered all my questions with haste. I would love to work with Francesca again and I plan to!
