Freelance Design

Role: Graphic Designer
Skills: Graphic Design, Photoshop
The Challenge: To design cover art that conveyed the author’s vision for novels.
Results: The author loves the work I’ve produced for his novels.
“Marc Bonasso designed covers for all four of the books I self-published. He worked diligently with me to fully realize the mostly vague concepts I had floating around in my head. He was prompt in sending me proofs and flexible in making alterations based on my feedback. My books’ cover art has received universal praise from readers and that is all due to Marc’s artistic vision and keen sense of design. He is the only graphic designer I will use for any of my media needs.”
-Self-Published Author

While working at Austin Community College, in my small amount of free time, I designed production-ready cover art for 3 novels and one collection of short stories for a client that is a very talented self-published author.

This particular client knows what he wants to convey through the cover art. So my challenge was to understand what that vision was for each book, which I had not read, and design artwork that matched his imagination.

I’m happy to report that this author loves the work I’ve produced.
