A course by Manon Bucciarelli
Manon Bucciarelli studied graphic design at the École Nationale Duperré and has been working as a freelancer since 2005. Passionate about reading, she specialized in the publishing sector, looking to shake things up in cover illustration, which she found was all too often bland and overlooked. Whether it's albums, cookbooks, or novels, she likes to play with colors and typography.
She has extensive experience in publishing and has illustrated books for Hachette, Fayard, Gallimard, and 10.18 in pocket formats. She has also created collection designs for the likes of Éditions Anne Carrière, for which she received the Best Editorial Design Award from Le Club des DA.
