Episode notes
Design Work Comes In Seasons
- Kerri designs by season and typically handles about 15 books per season, roughly 45 a year.
- High output demands designers to move quickly and manage many projects concurrently.
Use Your Strongest Tools
- Use the tools you know best: Kerri relies on Photoshop and Illustrator and mixes hand lettering with digital assembly.
- Lean on stock photos and digital techniques if you're not a traditional illustrator.
Ask For Early Author Input
- Invite author input early to save time and avoid dead-end directions.
- Ask for mood boards or Pinterest links to quickly understand author tastes without slavishly copying them.
