Illustration, cover design and publication design for stories, books and author materials.
A considered visual world shaped around the story, the reader and the final form of the book.
This is where we start. We do not create separate drawings and place them next to the text. We look at how the illustrations, the cover and the form of the book can work together with the story. This way, the visual world does not feel like an afterthought, but becomes one of the supporting elements of the finished book.
Your story may first need characters and scenes. It may need a strong book cover, or perhaps the text and images already exist, but they do not yet come together as a real publication. That is why our services are organised into four main areas: children’s book illustration, book illustration, book cover design and publication design. This makes it easier to see which step can bring your idea, manuscript or unfinished material closer to becoming a readable, considered and presentable book.
If you are creating a children’s book or storybook, we help shape the characters, scenes and visual world that fit the story, so the book is not only beautiful, but also clear and engaging for children.
For novels, poetry collections, historical books and author publications, we create interior illustrations, chapter openers and recurring motifs that support the world of the text without overpowering it.
The cover is the first decision point. We design front covers, spines, back covers and print-ready cover files that signal the genre, attract attention and help the book avoid the wrong first impression.
If the text, images and ideas are already there, but they do not yet form a book, we help with layout, page structure and print preparation, so the material becomes readable, organised and ready to deliver.
When we create illustrations, cover design or publication design, we do not focus on a single impressive image. We look at where the visual work truly needs to support the publication: the recognisability of a character, the mood of a scene, the first impression of the cover, the rhythm of page spreads or the consistency of the finished publication.
This way, the visual direction does not pull the publication apart, but helps organise and strengthen it. The goal is for the reader to understand the world more easily, recognise the mood, and feel from the first encounter what kind of story or content they are entering.
The visual life of a book does not necessarily stop at the cover or the print-ready file. If you want to present your book, author world or related content consistently across several surfaces, it is worth thinking in terms of a coherent visual presence. The visual world of the book can continue on an author website, in promotional graphics and on related platforms where the design does not feel like a separate piece, but works as a continuation of the book’s world.
If you want to build a more organised online presence around your book in the long term, an author website can serve as a strong central point. It can present your books, writings, introduction, news and related content, while helping readers see not just scattered posts, but a coherent author world.
We create promotional graphics connected to books, author projects and launches, such as bookmarks, recommendation images, posters, presentation materials or visuals for social platforms. The goal is for these materials not to feel like separate pieces, but like continuations of the book’s visual world.
A book does not reach its readers simply because it has been finished. It may need a recognisable visual world, promotional materials and places where it can actually appear. Galantusz Grafika helps shape the book’s visual presence, while Mesefarm may, in certain cases, offer an additional point of connection through an author profile, book recommendation, review or newsletter feature.
We have been working on graphic design, illustration and publication design projects for more than two decades. This experience helps us look beyond individual images and consider the complete visual function of the book, cover and publication.
The goal is for the material not to remain a collection of separate pieces, but to move forward in an organised, recognisable and deliverable form.

A good image helps the reader or viewer understand more quickly what kind of world, mood or message they are encountering. This is especially important for books, covers, publications and author materials, where the first impression often starts working before the text does.
We create illustrations, covers and graphic materials that make what you want to show clearer, more engaging and more recognisable.
Many projects do not arrive as finished plans, but as a manuscript, a book idea, a few images, a mood or a half-formed concept. That is completely fine. At the beginning of the work, we help clarify what is actually needed: illustration, cover design, publication design, promotional graphics or a coordinated combination of these.
This way, the idea does not remain an uncertain direction, but gradually becomes usable, considered and presentable visual material.
