Pain Points (Public)

Independent authors creating early-childhood picture books (ages 3–11) struggle to maintain character consistency and visual pacing across multi-page storyboards (typically 15–24 pages plus covers), often lacking the technical expertise to prepare print-ready 300 DPI CMYK files with proper bleed and gutter margins.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Deliver an end-to-end picture book illustration and formatting workflow using Procreate and Adobe InDesign, starting with character model sheets and storyboard thumbnails, proceeding to vibrant cartoon spreads, and delivering pre-flighted print-ready PDFs optimized for Amazon KDP and IngramSpark trim sizes.
