Chronicle Books
Senior Graphic Designer
I design cookbooks.
Designing interior layouts and covers for upcoming books. Managing projects, including working with freelance designers and typesetters. Art directing photo shoots, working with photographers, food & prop stylists. Talking to editors about the overall vision and thinking about how to position books differently than the competition. Typesetting and text corrections.
Here's the first step for professionals
Talk to designers working in the field. Take some classes. See if you enjoy the same types of things that these designers enjoy.
