Kishan Rajani told Blk + Brwn Designers what he loves about being a book cover designer:
“In short, the variety. There are so many brilliant, different books that come across our design desks and just as many different ways we can tackle designing for each book. I can get my hands dirty getting the paint out one day, setting up a photography shoot another, or producing a custom type face for a project. You learn to be a bit of a jack of all trades as a book designer and that keeps you on your toes, keeping the enjoyment in learning and exploring along the way.”
