Sunny Duran - Designer

I’m a freelance children's book designer and illustrator with 9 years experience. I'm currently taking a hiatus from illustrating and focusing more on book design. Because I am an illustrator and a graphic designer I can provide a unique perspective when it comes to designing your book. I know how to plan your book as well as adjust the artwork to fit with your story. I try very hard to maintain the original artwork as much as possible and keep it within the illusrtators original vision.

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. I can start before the illustrations are complete and help you plan out your page count and book dimensions. I can also start after the illustrations are complete and add your text to the artwork. However if I join at this stage the artwork may need to be modified to fit the text.
Standard turnaround time for a 32-36 page picture book is 2-3 weeks. Depending on how much editing is required and if cover design is included.

Services I provide:
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.
