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 was very professional and adaptable during the entire process. He offered solid creative options and listened well to any changes in direction. While I never met him (obviously), I sensed a bit of calmness in his approach, which was especially appreciated since I am a new author.

David was great to work with. He was a great collaborator, which resulted in an excellently crafted book, and he was a great shepherd for a novice in the (self-) publishing space. Highly recommend working with David for your book design needs.

This is the second book of mine for which David has done the cover and interior design, and I couldn't be more pleased.

David was flexible and collaborative from the outset. He delivered four outstanding options for a front cover, and delivered on all aspects of our collaboration

David was terrific. He provided four concepts for my cover, and it was hard to choose between them because they all looked so great. He also did a wonderful job with the typography on my interior and cover. I highly recommend David.
