Illustrator and graphic designer

I work on graphic design, making FB and Instagram posts, logos, event invitations, banners, gifs, stickers for shop windows and posters for marketing and branding. I create illustrations for covers and layouts of children, teen and adult books and novels (so far i am the author of visuals of twenty books). I create book layouts, working with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, PremierePro and AfterEffects. Books I illustrate are of various genres: fantasy, adventure, horror, fairy tale, mystery, anecdotes, everyday life and growing up, school life, falling in love. In terms of writing form, they are novels or collections of short stories. Some of them are in cute, soft, pastel style, some are realistic or cartoonish, and some are surreal, whimsical, macabre and gothic. I enormously enjoyed creating them.
