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 help authors hook readers instantly with high-impact, stunning book covers that will attract the eyes of potenteial readers.

But how?

Standing out in a crowded market requires an illustration that captures attention and conveys the heart of your story in a single glance.

That is where my 20+ years combining Matte painting, Concept Art, Illustration and Graphic Design experience comes in.

As a Visual Development Artist in the film industry for the past 7 years—and a CG Generalist and Matte Painter for 13 years before that—translating Directors and vfx supervisors ambitious concepts into compelling visual realities is my daily craft. Having worked on over 60 films projects, I’ve delivered hundreds of keyframes, environmental vistas, vehicles, and creature concepts for the most demanding clients.

Because every project is unique, I seamlessly adapt my technique from photorealism to more stylized, depending on your story's tone. As an avid sci-fi reader and book lover myself, bringing stories to life on a cover is one of my passion.

If you want a visually striking book cover created through a smooth, professional process, you've come to the right place.

Let's connect and discuss your project!

Best,

S.
