It is a great pleasure to work with Mark and he is my
number one design choice for book covers. After meeting
with him at the London Book Fair I could see instantly
that he had a passion for design and creativity and I
was impressed at the effort and research that goes into
each project. His work is unique, attractive and
appealing to the audience and his ability to stick to
briefs and deadlines, and to also be flexible when
required, makes him my first choice every time.

I worked with Mark for eleven years and, during that
time, I very rarely used another cover designer for my
scientific/technical book projects. Mark is able to
create distinctive and attractive designs, often whilst
working within specific briefs and in quite ‘dry’
subject areas. Importantly, he is willing to make
revisions to his original drafts when necessary, and is
cheerful about doing so. Mark is also a thoroughly
pleasant person to work with.

Mark is extremely professional: technically expert,
with a very good feel for design, artistic, reliable on
deadlines – altogether a pleasure to work with. He is
always sensitive to the customer’s requirements and will
go the extra mile to get the right result. Having known
and used Mark for sixteen years, I really would not want
to use anyone else.
