David Provolo – Designer

I believe that book cover design has the power to crystalize and elevate the author's intent and expression.

Overview

I'm a designer/art director with a passionate interest in the art and significance of the book cover. In exploring different modes of visual language, I always strive to shepherd the final product to a state of sophistication, dynamism and succinctness.

Additionally, I deliver all of the qualities to be expected of a professional designer:
• exceptional design/typographic skills and visual sensibility
• the ability to quickly grasp concepts
• highly-adept at incorporating feedback and modifying designs accordingly
• excellent written and verbal communication skills
• a passion and appreciation for the written word

Dave did a phenomenal job on my cover and book interior! The design is exactly what I was looking for, and he was so flexible with every change that I wanted to make. I love the essence that he captured in the cover and within the pages.
