Book By Its Cover » Sketchbook Series: Danielle Kroll

12.9.11

review by Leah

Danielle Kroll is a designer and illustrator living in Philadelphia, PA. She attended Tyler School of Art and is currently an in-house designer for Anthropologie. Danielle’s design and typography work is highly illustrative, and her sketchbook is a beautiful indication of this. Her paintings are bright and whimsical; an alphabet wears hats and shoes, plates are adorned with intricate decorations, and even the pickle jar rests on a pretty pink backdrop. Danielle’s blog often features more of the dresses and shoes seen in her sketchbook. Illustrated “What I Wore” posts are a wonderful part of her blog, as are other bits of illustration and typography projects.
