Pilar Sola – Designer

Award winning designer and art director with extensive background in the publishing industry and good eye for production details.

Overview

Hi! I am an independent graphic designer and art director based in the sunny Barcelona. I have extensive management experience in my own company and I am specialised in product and editorial design. For more than 13 years I've been bringing to market businesses, brands and products while creating unique visual communication campaigns for national and international clients.

During my career I've been working on many different type of projects, from editorial design to visual identity or artworks for music albums. I love working together with editors, writers or artists to define the concept and, if needed, I could also take care of the production management. I am passionate about details. Choosing the right binding or the best paper is key for all my projects.

Layout and typesetting is part of my daily routine and I feel comfortable both designing the whole book or creating just the cover. I can assist with illustration or photography direction and also deliver assets or any other collaterals for promoting your project in social media or other marketing proposes.

I would love to hear about your project and help to bring your vision to life.
