Rose Freeland – Designer

I also design books with title treatments, beautiful layouts, and text flow. My passion is to create fabulous unique illustrations that express your manuscript.

Please see my general base rate for taking on new projects at the end of this bio.

- Illustration and design creator.

- Expert in Adobe Suite and other programs for print and web.

- Image and word editorial strengths.

- In-depth knowledge of printing and digital standards.

With a professional mix of a drive for success and design approaches, I seek ways to achieve excellence. I create hand-drawn and digital illustrations, and I am highly trained and equally passionate about art that inspires. I work closely with my clients to understand the author's vision and present a phase of the design plan in a formal estimate. I provide great pencil sketches and digital-first drafts to arrive at a perfect direction for the illustrations. Once the character is visually discovered, a painting phase and color sampling are presented. I work closely to finalize the images and book throughout each design phase. I welcome online client meetings and will happily schedule convenient times to discuss your new book.

Some of my talents are:

• Hand Sketching

• Character Design

• Vector Illustration

• Watercolor, Pen & Ink
