MAKER GIRL AND PROFESSOR SMARTS: BOOK 1 BY JASMINE FLORENTINE
art direction for middle-grade graphic novel series
Graphic novels are inherently huge projects and the MAKER GIRL AND PROFESSOR SMARTS series was no exception. In addition to art directing such a large endeavor with a debut author/illustrator, I needed to be in constant discussion with editorial, production, and sales to ensure we had schedule that worked for everyone. The end result is the start of a wonderfully engaging and accessible STEM series with fantastic DIY activities and helpful backmatter.
