“Todd was great to work with. When our project started he took time to discuss our book, who our target audience was and the vibe and feel we were hoping to achieve. Those thoughts and goals were then mixed with his own stylings that meshed really well with ours. In less than a month he developed three potential covers that were all worthy of being winners. My team reviewed them and we selected our favorite. We than asked for some tweaks; Todd was patient, accommodating and very responsive. We were enormously pleased with the final product. We have received strong reviews for his design and plan to use him again with our upcoming books. He is a perfect mix of artistic talent, reliable business practices and affordability, We strongly recommend him.”

“We hired Todd Bates after interviewing several designers. We wanted a hard-cover, full color coffee table book for our 100th Anniversary of the Morean Arts Center. Todd came to the interview with research and ideas already done. He had the most passion for the project. He was very detailed and educated us about so many things we did not know about publishing. He did not miss deadlines or try to talk us out of ideas but always offered multiple ideas and solutions. We wanted a timeless design that honored the past but would also look forward. He helped is craft a voice for the project and kept us on budget and also loving the project. The book is gifted to new members, teachers, first time visitors and special guests. They are always impressed with the quality and can’t believe we are giving it to them.”
