I am a graphic designer who loves books as much as you do.
When you write a book, you put yourself into it. The last thing you want is for people to overlook your book because of bad design. Everyone judges books by their covers, and here at the Virtual Paintbrush, I understand how to design book covers that will not only make your book stand out and look professional, but allow readers a glimpse into the soul of the book.
My name is Shanie Cooper, and I am an Israel-based graphic designer with over 15 years of experience in the industry, both teaching and designing. I have serviced clients all over the world, and have worked with small businesses, large corporations, independent authors, and small and large publishers. My passion is book covers and children’s book design. I look forward to working together![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1509304389571{padding-top: 55px !important;padding-bottom: 55px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}” el_class=”hm-testimonial-row” el_id=”testimonials”][vc_column el_class=”hm-testimonial-row”][vc_custom_heading text=”Clients & What They Say About Us” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:2.57em|text_align:center|color:%23333333″ google_fonts=”font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal”][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_images_carousel images=”1230,1232,1237,1249,1233,1225,1240,1246,1530″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_no” slides_per_view=”5″ autoplay=”yes” hide_pagination_control=”yes” hide_prev_next_buttons=”yes” wrap=”yes”][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]
