What do I actually receive at the end?

A link that includes source files, print PDFs, web files, fonts (or outlines), and a license note. You own the rights to use it, while I retain the artist credit.

Why sketch on paper if everything ends up digital?

Paper is quicker for ideas. I can test ten drafts in ten minutes. The computer comes later for precision.

Do you design the poster and the social versions at once?

I create the master in vector format. Then, I export the sizes you need for print, web, and stories.

How do you create graphic design assets my team can reuse?

I name each layer, lock the logo versions, and add a one-page usage sheet. You’ll receive folders for AI, SVG, and PNG. This way, no one needs to sift through a messy file.

How do you make sure my colors print correctly in Switzerland?

I work in CMYK from the start and use FOGRA profiles. I’ll send you a hard proof PDF and, if needed, a printed proof from my local print partner in Mendrisio.

What’s your process for a CD cover?

I start by listening to 2–3 tracks. While I listen, I sketch, and then I create the final design as vector art. You’ll get everything, including a 3000x3000px streaming file and social media banners.

How do you start a book cover design?

I read your synopsis and check comps in your genre. Then, I sketch three different covers by hand: one typographic, one character-driven, and one symbolic. You choose, and I refine.
