Marcin Południak – Designer

Professional, funny illustrator of children's books, fantasy books and book cover designer, addicted to coffee and dark chocolate-that's me.

Overview

Hi, my name is Marcin. I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Poland. I am an illustrator and graphic designer with several years of experience.

Before becoming an illustrator and book designer, I worked for several years in a branding agency, where I got to know a slightly different, less carefree, but still very interesting world of advertising. I created images of people and products for it, as well as graphics for interactive applications, games and websites. These were mainly products aimed at children, but not only.

Currently, I am a freelancer. Working with many publishers around the world has allowed me to explore the world of children's illustration and create it according to my own imagination. Several books with my illustrations have already been published around the world. My experience in designing book covers, illustrations and products for children, combined with an optimistic approach to life, will definitely help us communicate 😉.

If you want to make your child happy, my illustrations are for you. Our cooperation is sure to be mutually beneficial 🙂

I can't imagine doing anything else, so I really put everything I can into my work. I look forward to getting to know your story and breathing life into it. I sketch the concepts illustrations by hand and the color illustrations are digital.
