Darlene Swanson – Designer

We have been designing and producing books, ebooks, magazines, promo sheets, and collateral items for over 35 years, with specializing in books and covers for the last 22 years. We "learned the ropes" of book and cover design while working with a project manager on projects for American Philosophical Society, Johns Hopkins University Press, Smithsonian Books, and others. The "Fishes of Alabama" in the gallery is one of the books we designed and laid out for Smithsonian Books. After working for the large publishers, we decided that we wanted to help smaller publishers and self-publishers with making their books and covers eye-catching and professional. This has been our goal for more than two decades.
