Janna Steagall

Janna Steagall – Designer

A whimsical illustrator, in love with books, BOLD design, cozy mysteries, YA fantasy and anything made for kids!

Overview

I have always loved children's books, and dreamed of illustrating and writing them since I was a little kid. While I have worked on writing for children, my real passion is in illustration. I love simple, bold designs, and especially focusing on stories and designs that promote awareness of global issues, increase children’s understanding of difficult concepts, and help people find ways to make the world a better place.


When I began art school for illustration I found myself drawn more and more to graphic design, ESPECIALLY typography. As I began my career in illustration I began redesigning the covers of my favorite novels. I love the combination of design with illustration and I loved hand lettering my covers and illustrating the main characters. I Hope we can work together to make something wonderful!

Thoroughly enjoyed working with Janna on my book cover. This was my first book, so everything was completely new to me, and I was clueless. She was very patient and helpful. I'm very happy with the results. Definitely recommend her.

Very glad I chose Janna Steagall to design my book cover. I had no sense of what was involved. And with just a few of my ideas, and bits of information from me, Janna designed a very interesting, meaningful, and strong cover. She was patient, kind, and responsive, even when it required more work on her part. If you’re looking for a good cover for a reasonable price, check her out.
