Rob Perry - Designer

I'm a very experienced Graphic Designer and visualiser, having worked in publishing for nearly thirty years. I started out in the 90's in children's non fiction and reference, and worked mostly on heavily illustrated books where I was visualising for artwork commissioning then assembling layout on screen through to final print. At the end of the 90's I moved into licensed books for film, TV and comics. I have experience in most formats and although completely familiar with the Mac and Adobe Creative suite, I'm as comfortable with pencil and paper. I've headed big teams on projects, controlling schedule, budgets and staffing, and represented my previous company at meetings with third parties such as Marvel Studios, Paramount and DC Comics, as well as commissioning illustrators and artists. I was also lucky enough to spend time working at the offices of Disney studios in LA and also attend the San Diego Comicon on behalf of my previous company. At the same time I've also spent a lot of time developing new projects solo, and love the challenge of taking an initial concept and pushing it. For the past year I have been working as a freelance designer, mostly visualising layouts for subjects such as ancient history, wildlife and dinosaurs.

I like exploring new ideas and creating dynamic layouts and covers, and have a love of contemporary design and illustration - I have produced illustrations in the past, mostly for magazine editorials, my style is a mix of collage and drawing and I'm currently updating my illustration portfolio.

I'm easy to work with, a family man with two teenage sons ( and everything that goes with that!), I love music, especially Tamla Motown, Northern Soul and early reggae.

I can provide a ton of samples if you're interested in seeing more - so please contact me if you have a publishing project you want to see realised!
