See that cool image in the sidebar? That is the new 2010 Free Library Festival theme art created by Philadelphia designer Eleanor Grosch!

Eleanor earned early attention from clients with her rock posters for bands like Death Cab for Cutie, Bright Eyes, and Sleater Kinney. She has gone on to design pillows for Urban Outfitters, skateboard decks for Alien Workshop, sneakers for Keds, cards and calendars for Chronicle Books, and a multitude of other illustration and design projects. Her distinctive work combines bold, beautiful color combinations and simple geometric shapes inspired by the natural world. Recognized as one of Print magazine’s New Visual Artists of 2008, Eleanor has lived in Philadelphia since 2005, where she runs Pushmepullyou Design.
