Patrick Kang – Designer

I am a book cover designer with over 20 years of experience, both as a in-house designer in major publishing companies and as a freelancer.

Overview

Having worked in art departments of major publishing companies in the U.S., I apply my knowledge from those experiences as a freelancer. I am capable of heavy photo manipulation and photo-based digital illustration. I can also work with models and have a photo shoot and composite them into a desired background seamlessly. I can also do vector graphics work for the title type treatment when necessary.

*Please note* - I will have to decline your offer if you don't state your budget in your description.
