The visual layout and formatting of books published on Amazon in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle formats
I was responsible for the visual layout and formatting of books published on Amazon in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle formats.
My key contributions included:
This project demonstrates the ability to merge UX/UI design principles with editorial and print workflows, delivering high-quality publishing outcomes across multiple formats.
Book design sits at the intersection of two things I care about — illustration and structure. This project was a chance to take a full book, cover to cover, from the author's manuscript and illustrations to a finished, publish-ready product across three formats: paperback, hardcover, and Kindle. It's less about a single visual and more about making an entire reading experience feel considered, from the typography down to how the pages sit in your hands.
Hiring someone who handles both the design and the publishing-format logistics means one point of contact for the whole book — no back-and-forth between a designer and a separate formatter, no risk of a beautiful layout getting rejected by KDP for a technical spec issue. The result is a book that looks intentional in every format a reader might buy it in, delivered ready to publish with no extra fixes needed.
