About Louise

Layout artist, graphic designer and illustrator – Publishing houses and private clients

My professional eye, due to a Master's degree in Publishing, and my experience in the editorial sector will be a real asset (knowledge of target audiences, genres, printing constraints). I can carry out an execution task (layout from a template and a pre-established graphic identity), as well as a creation task.

📖 Layout
  • Internal layout and cover design (InDesign)
  • Iconographic retouching (Photoshop)
  • Reflection on the book (format, production, and visual identity)
  • Orthotypographical standards
Delivery of a print-ready PDF.

✏️ Cover Design
  • Layout and preparation of the file for printing
  • Cover visuals, style of your choice (minimalist, graphic, illustrated, typographic)
  • Lettering (Photoshop and Illustrator)
🎨 Illustration
  • Watercolor, pencil, or digital tablet illustration
  • For your illustrated book projects, novels (fantasy, contemporary, feelgood), practical guides, albums and children's books, role-playing game books

HOW DOES IT WORK?

1. We discuss: what are your needs? your expectations? your deadlines?
2. First delivery with several graphic research options.
3. Following that, I will provide a second version incorporating your previous expectations, adding color schemes and fully defining the typography.
4. The final stage is adjustments.
5. Delivery of your project!

NICE TO MEET YOU, I'M LOUISE!

I am a 27-year-old freelance layout artist, graphic designer, and illustrator. I am passionate about pop culture (books, video games, role-playing games, board games, movies, etc.) and drawing.
Having completed a degree in education (Master's equivalent for becoming a primary school teacher), I shifted to publishing to combine teaching and creation!

Excellent work in both research and concrete proposals. It was my first time, but Louise adapted perfectly to my request while letting her creativity flow. Communication was regular and efficient.
