Latte Goldstein

Latte Goldstein – Designer

Book designer and interior designer/typesetter, I work with international publishers, university presses and independent authors.

Overview

“Good design is like a refrigerator—when it works, no one notices, but when it doesn’t, it sure stinks.” — Irene Au

The cover is your books’ shop window. I meld craft and technology to create cover designs that are engaging and memorable — typesetting & page layout designs that deliver an enjoyable and enhanced reading experience.

I'm a New Yorker living and working in the scenic Berwickshire Coast area of Scotland. I have 30 years professional experience designing cover artwork for publishers world-wide. I design interiors for both fiction and non-fiction books and have also worked on several dual-language publications.

Recent award winning publications:

Old Ireland in Colour — Winner of the Best Irish Published Book Award 2020.

The Presidents' Letters — Shortlisted for the Best Irish Published Book Award 2021.

For both of these titles I designed the covers as well as the interior pages (see examples below)

As a professional book designer I will bring:

• Skilfulness to unravel a brief to find key creative concepts

• Impactful and dynamic design solutions

• Swift response to amendments and alterations

• Expert technical knowledge of printing guidelines and POD requirements

• Friendly, responsive and creative service throughout the entire process

• Help and guidance for all your self publishing questions

Latte demonstrates much patience in dealing with erratic authors! I am using him for the hard cover of my book as he was so good with the paperback version.

Latte is not only a very capable pro, he is wonderful to work with. He created my book cover using my crude mock-up as a guide, and then he brought it to life—better than I had imagined it. I highly recommend Latte, and look forward to working with again on my next project.

Appreciate it, Mark, thanks very much. All the best for the book launch! — Latte
