Sunny Duran – Designer

I’m a freelance children's book designer and illustrator with 9 years experience. I specialize in picture book illustration, design and formatting. Because I am an illustrator and a graphic designer I can provide a unique perspective when it comes to illustrating and designing your book. I know how to plan your book as well as adjust the artwork to fit with your story.

I’m a member of SCBWI, the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and have a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design.

Every project is different so I usually respond to requests with follow up questions asking for more detailed information. I like having an open dialogue so we can figure out what services you need and how long it will take to finish your project.

If you are looking for an illustrator please be ready to share your final edited manuscript or a detailed description of what the story is about so I can see if I'm a good fit for your project. You can see examples of my illustration work her in my profile. Standard turnaround for picture book illustrations is 5-6 months.

If you are looking for a designer please let me know where you at in the process and what your publishing date is. You can see examples of my design and layout work here in my profile as well.
Standard turnaround time for a 32-36 page picture book is 3-4 weeks. Depending on how much editing is required and if cover design is included.

Services I provide:
illustration
page layout
typesetting, font selection
cover design
cover redesign
file formatting for print and ebook
Marketing graphics (social media or kickstarter)

I look forward to hearing more about your book and hopefully we can work together.
