Latte Goldstein – Designer

30yrs exp. Book designer and interior design/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 was simply a pleasure to work with and I'm delighted with the results. I enjoyed collaborating with him on the cover for my book as well as the typesetting and ePUB file. He was solicitous of my ideas and then provided a number of book covers for me to choose from. I had a difficult time deciding which one I wanted because they were all amazing! The typesetting is gorgeous and I fell in ...
