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

David always got back to me within a reasonable time-frame. He was pleasant and professional in all of our communication.

Dave did a great job on my cover and interior design. I'm very happy with the results. And he was very patient when I made a few errors in our back and forth communication. I didn't have a set deadline and felt it did take a bit longer than expected, but the outcome was great.

David was highly professional and responsive. He can improve when doing book covers for non-fiction as my experience was that his work was good but did not reflect the exceptional design quality he has done for fiction works.
