"Dino Marino is hands down, a design genius. He’s talented and creative and thoughtful. He’s designed websites, logos, book covers and interiors, and most recently, a PowerPoint presentation with two dozen different slides (each one better than the last). There’s no design challenge he can’t meet with a thoughtful and brilliant result. Oh, and he’s nice. He’s my go-to designer for every graphic design need I have–and I am lucky to have him on my team. You would be lucky to have him on yours, too!"
"Every once in a while you are introduced to someone in business and you just feel lucky for having been connected with them. Dino Marino is one of those people for me. I hired Dino to design the cover of my third book, Hidden Jewels of Happiness, and I will have to say that he took the quality to a level which I consider extraordinary—the bar is raised and there’s no going back. Additionally, I chose to spend a little more and have him do the interior design – and I’m so glad I did. It was money well spent and it took my book to an even a higher level. Working with Dino you get the feeling you’re working with a true partner—one who is fully invested in your success and who won’t stop until you’re 100 percent satisfied with the result.

Covers are critical to an author’s success so do yourself a favor and get on Dino’s schedule for your next book. Like me, I bet you’ll wish you had known about him sooner."
"My book looks fantastic inside and out! I can’t tell you how many people have been surprised to hear that it’s self-published and have commented that it’s impossible to differentiate between mine and a traditionally published book. I couldn’t be more pleased with Dino’s work. And I have to mention how incredibly patient he was even when I kept making last-minute copy tweaks right in the middle of the interior design process. Highly recommend him if you need a designer."
"I’m a designer with a high quality bar and a discerning eye. Dino patiently collaborated with me throughout the process of creating my book cover and interior design. Especially for the book cover, we went through multiple rounds with him listening to what I wanted and being extremely open to feedback. The collaboration was amazing and I am extremely happy with how it turned out. Actually… I love my book cover. He was a meticulous expert with the interior design and fluidly adjusted to my tight schedule. I would highly recommend Dino as your book designer."
"Dino is brilliant at what he does and I do not say that often. My book design was not the conventional – we used multiple formats, fonts and so many different designs. Without a doubt my book Lessons From A Clown would not be the success it is without Dino’s brilliance. He listened to everything I wanted to achieve and he delivered on it in every way. I can not recommend him enough."
"I’m so glad to have been referred to Dino to help design my latest book. Working with him was a great experience because he’s responsive to questions and provides great feedback. Even more important, he came up with the best cover idea that blends with the book content that helps it stand out in positive way."
"Dino was an absolute pleasure to work with. His eye for design is amazing. He helped me to create an incredible custom book interior with beautifully designed custom charts and tables throughout. He was so patient and encouraging in the face of multiple updates and revisions, and he made sure the final version was flawless! Thank you so much Dino! I couldn’t have done it without you!"
"Dino is the platinum standard of graphic designers for authors. He is a dream to work with. He not only creates gripping art, he is also friendly, responsive, flexible, patient and hard-working."
"Dino was an essential part of my book team. When it came to designing First Year Of Grief Club, a book that people will keep for a year, it was so important to work with someone who championed me in creating a relationship and experience for the readers. With trust, communication, and alignment around the impact I was trying to make- Dino was an MVP working with grace and integrity through the process, the unexpected, and beyond. Truly grateful and could not recommend him more when looking for someone to help bring your vision to reality."
"I cannot say enough great things about working with Dino. He went above and beyond many times throughout my book project. I had a vision of what I wanted the interior and covers to be and Dino took my suggestions and not only made them come to life but he also made them better. He was so responsive and perfectly creative at times that often I felt like he was sitting next to me throughout the whole process. He created something special for my book. Not only did he do great work but I enjoyed my time with Dino. I will definitely look to Dino for my next project. Thank you for everything you have done Dino."
Writing a book was a challenge. Getting it designed, formatted and ready to go live to the world wasn’t!!! Dino did an incredible job for me. Starting with the book cover (which is AWESOME) to the design/layout of the book all the way through the creation of social media graphics for the launch, Dino made the process easy. I couldn’t imagine working with someone who knew more. I would highly recommend him to anyone for the graphic needs in support of their book."
"Working with Dino was the best part of writing my first book. Although I was surrounded by a great team at each stage of the writing, editing and design process, Dino’s attention to detail and patience while we went through cover after cover, font after font and update after update was greatly appreciated. As a first time author, I did things somewhat out of order which, I assume, caused more work for Dino. Never once did he make me feel uncomfortable approaching him with questions, even the ones that I probably asked more than once. He made himself available throughout this entire process and the finished product is one I feel very proud of. Looking forward to working together on future projects!"
"Dino is one of the calmest and patient people I’ve ever worked with. I had a crazy, non-standard vision for my book’s interior design, and he worked with me tirelessly (often through weekends and nights) to make all the adjustments I requested. The most common feedback I get from readers is that they read the book in just a few days and made notes all over it. I truly believe a lot of that is due to the unique and aesthetically pleasing design of the book. I highly recommend working with Dino!"
