Hi
#portfolioday
! I'm Anna Stenger, an author/illustrator looking for work in children's books. Having worked as a graphic designer, I love composing images based on shape and contrast, then sprinkling in details to bring the story to life.

I love the idea of this piece but I think itās time to put this color palette to rest⦠The saturation distracts me. Thoughts?

The clipping of this image has got a great response from, I assume, fellow parent-illustrators, so Iām sharing the entire image here for the full effect :)

With the extreme volume of books that I oversee I'm sometimes able to triangulate subtle shifts in the design zeitgeist. This will be obtuse, so do with it what you will, but my gut is telling me: gradients are out. Perhaps because within this era of gray areas, concrete positions are required.
