Daniela Bertua – Designer

Hello, I am a creative Designer with more than 10 years of freelance experience working from London to the publishing market worldwide.

Overview

Daniela is passionate about creating eye-catching designs for books that give Authors and Publishers peace of mind and confidence to always expect high-quality and a unique vision for every project.

Since 2009 Daniela has created hundreds of beautiful book cover and jacket designs for major Publishers around the world, also in collaboration with her husband, a renowned illustrator.


The thematic range of her production is wide and varied: Thrillers, young adult topics, self-help books, historical novels, fantasy, science fiction, and horror. Even movie posters and album covers.

Her experience and skills cover the entire graphic creative process from the beginning of an idea for a complete cover design to the technical realization and delivery of the final files for printing or digital publishing.

I specialize in graphic design for publishing, with a particular emphasis on book cover design.

Together, we’ve had the privilege of working with many of the leading publishing houses in both the USA and Europe.

Daniela and Alejandro produced a stunning and artistically brilliant cover for my novel 'The Bodleian Sequence'.
