Rafael Andres – Designer

I am a professional designer, art director, and illustrator who loves books—working with publishers in Europe, USA, Asia, and indie authors.

Overview

I am a graphic designer and illustrator specialized in book covers design. With thirty years of experience in different fields of graphic design, half of them dedicated exclusively to creating covers for the international publishing market. I offer now my experience and talent creating compelling and original images for self-published works and the wide book, e-book and audiobook market.

My role as the art director in an international studio puts at your disposal a seasoned team of designers, typesetters, and illustrators. After my assessment of the project, I will engage the support of my team of designers, illustrators, and typesetters under my creative lead.

I explained to him my vision for the interior of the book, and he worked closely with me to make sure I received a beautiful typeset and format for my work, which needed to be perfect, as it was a debut a novel.
