Accidental Career, Lasting Passion

- She has stayed in book design for nearly ten years and loves the work.
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.
