Katia Bligh

I’ve found engagement in working with both traditional and digital collage, particularly creating characters and placing them in situations and environments that result in a sense of fun and pleasantry. Additionally, I can work in analog mixed media and purely digital styles.

This year my projects have won the World Illustrations Awards competition in the Book Covers Category, held by the London Book Fair. Also, my project for a children's book was shortlisted in a competition called 'A Book Inside', held by the publishing company Samokat. One of my projects was a participant of a festival devoted to children illustration 'BerryWater Fest' this autumn as well.

Additionally, I have studied book layout design. In my work I always pay great attention to such details as text readability and make sure that a book is convenient and pleasant for readers. For example, the most difficult project I have worked on so far is a dictionary design, as it required coming up with structure, system and type setting for a lot of different entities. I believe that I managed to make a convenient system, which is easy to navigate. I would be happy to bring my experience to your project.
