Zuza Miśko – Designer

Freelance illustrator and designer, specialising in animal illustrations, florals and beauty

Overview

I am an illustrator with a background in animated film - I graduated from the Polish National Film School in Łódź as an Animated Film Director.


For the past 15 years, I have been supplying creative ideas for a large variety of clients, including book authors and publishers, fashion brands, and magazines. I have experience in book illustration and book cover design and I can provide a full service of book layout and editing,

In my work, I use traditional techniques such as handmade linocut print and drawing and digital design tools.


My favorite subjects are women and nature.


I am also a fine artist, creating linocut prints that I sell online or through art galleries and which are available in private collections worldwide.


As an ex-filmmaker, I am curiosity-driven and each new client and project is an adventure, into which I plunge with all my heart. Please do not hesitate to contact me with all design - related questions.


In the design process, I provide

- 3 rough idea sketches for the book cover,

- sketches for book illustrations,

- finished illustrations or finished cover layout, ready for the print house

- image for use in Internet

- 3D book cover mockup

Zuza has produced the most gorgeous artwork for my book cover. Exactly what I was hoping for - she really listened to the brief and I am very pleased with the results. She also did the layout of the manuscript in paperback and epub format and was incredibly patient with all my edits. Zuza works to a very high standard to get everything perfect and I would definitely work with her again.

Zuza designed a wonderful cover for my book, "Currawong Pie". In the chapter relating to the pied currawong I quoted an ornithologist as saying that the currawong "had the furtive look of a bird about to commit a crime". Zuza captured that perfectly in the currawong on the front cover, and I couldn't be happier with the result. She was also lovely to work with.
