I'm a Graphic Designer, Book Layout Artist, Book Cover Designer, Web designer, UI and UX Design with more than 12 years of experience. My work has focused on working with authors: doing book layout and formatting for print, converting and adapting those printed books to electronic formats (ePub eBook, Apple iBooks and fixed-format PDFs), designing book covers, and designing websites mainly for authors. The purpose is to offer authors a full set of designs to create a very professional book and a great website to promote the book and the writer. Your book needs and expert and caring hand to take shape and come to be. The other aspect of my work is in interactive design, interface design (UI, defining the look and feel) and user experience (UX, defining the interaction and navigation) of such things as websites, apps for cellphones or tablets, and software for desktop computers. I also work parttime as a bookseller in a local independent bookstore in Northern California. Services: BOOK FORMATTING: Expert book layout and formatting for print. As a Bookseller, I know the parameters, standards, and rules of professional book layout for print distribution that most people that do book formatting don't seem to know. I can format books using such software as Adobe InDesign and Microsoft word to produce a print-ready document to send to a printer or to upload to print-on-demand services such as Amazons KDP and Ingram Spark. I adapt the design and layout of books made for print to electronic formats adhering to professional epub standards. I can also adapt graphic layouts such as Children's books, Comics or Graphic Novels to such platforms as Apple iBooks and Amazon's Kindle. I create interactive books, educational or children's, that can be played on tablets or desktop computers and that can integrate animations, sound, video and interactivity. COVER DESIGN: I design professional book covers that follow the publishing industry guidelines and standards. As a Bookseller, I understand what makes a book cover looks professional and is appropriate to the different book genres. Many self-published books can be easily spotted and disparaged because they are done without a proper knowledge of design and book publishing. Typography is a big element of any cover design as it is any image used on it. Spines and back covers are also important and many book printing standards are just not known by most graphic designers. I can ensure that your book cover will good looking and professional. WEB DESIGN: I design websites that communicate the spirit, message and personality of an author and its books A website is a window into the author's world and a channel to connect with his or her readers. An author website should be much more than a simple template with some pictures of book covers and buttons to Amazon. GRAPHIC DESIGN: I other types of Graphic Design pieces such as logos, icons, business cards, bookmarks, postcards, brochures, banner ads and the like and marketing and promotional material.
