Sylvain Lorgeou – Designer

If you are looking for the best possible visuals for your book's cover, I can bring my 20+ years working on AAA movies to the table!

Overview

Hi!

I'm here to help you with my expertise: creating stunning visuals to attract the eyes of potential readers!

But how to attract the eye on the shelves amongst so many book covers, while giving a strong visual impact that communicates the essence of a novel, all just in one illustration?

That is where my 20+ years of experience in Matte painting, Concept Art, Illustration and graphic design will come in handy!

Working in the Film industry as a Visual Development artist since 7 years now and before that 13 years as a CG generalit and Matte Painter, it is my day to day routine to get Directors ideas on "paper", I worked on over 50 movies, provided hundreds of frames including work on vistas establishers, vehicles creatures, effects for the final movie or as early conceptual ideas.

As all Directors and clients in general are different, I can adjust my style from realistic imagery to more stylized treatments, depending on your needs.

Since I started working in the Vfx industry, I always wanted to work on book covers, as an avid reader myself and a sci-fi fan ;)

If you are looking for a visually stunning cover for your book that will go smoothly from a very experienced professional, no need to go further:

let's catchup and tell me about your project,

Talk to you soon!

Working with Sylvain was a fantastic experience. He is a designer of remarkable talent, but his greatest strength is his intuitive grasp of a brief. I described the concept and the specific emotion the illustration needed to portray, and he translated it perfectly. He also handled the complete ty...
