Effective April 22, Vaughn Andrews is joining Workman Publishing as creative director. He was most recently head of Vaughn Andrews Design, a book cover and jacket graphic design firm in San Diego, Calif. Earlier he worked for 26 years at Harcourt (and then Houghton Mifflin Harcourt), holding several positions, including executive art director and creative director.
"Since the Workman list is relatively small, our expectations for each title are huge, which places a tremendous responsibility on the shoulders of our creative director," said Susan Bolotin, acting publisher for the Workman imprint. "Each cover has to be a bull's-eye; every interior page has to work overtime. Vaughn's experience--both running a large art department and creating iconic covers--makes him perfect for the task at hand."
Raquel Jaramillo, who has been acting creative director of Workman for the past two years while continuing as director of children's publishing, will now focus fully again on Workman children's list.
