Louise Cand

Louise Cand – Designer

I'm a French freelance graphic designer who's been specializing in book cover design for the past fifteen years

Overview

Hello! Specialized in editorial design, I worked for 6 years as a graphic designer in a French publishing house, 1 year as art director in another, before setting up on my own and collaborating with a dozen different publishers. I've worked on a wide variety of projects, from book covers to interior layouts, catalogs of all kinds, posters, advertising inserts, point-of-sale displays and promotional brochures. But the core of my business is book cover design! I'm a very instinctive person, I like to test things in lots of different directions based on how I feel before I come up with the right idea! You'll see many different styles of books in my portfolio, because I like to be able to explore and be creative in all sorts of areas, but I think my little plus is being able to say a lot in an uncluttered way! I love big, thick and massive typography, always with color please!
