PORTFOLIO

Book Interior Layout (Typesetting)

The heart of every book lies within its pages. Through expert typesetting and interior layout design, I ensure your content flows seamlessly, enhancing readability and visual appeal. From font choices to spacing and alignment, every detail is meticulously tailored to reflect the tone and style of your book. Let’s transform your manuscript into a polished, professional masterpiece that invites readers in and keeps them engaged.

Book Cover Design

A book cover is more than just a design—it's your story’s introduction to the world. With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of narrative, I create striking covers that not only grab attention but also convey the essence of your book. Let’s work together to craft a cover that speaks volumes and draws readers in at first glance.

PROFILE

I’m Olivier Darbonville.

I’ve always been a passionate bookworm, drawn to the worlds found within pages. For the past 20 years, I’ve channeled that love into my work as a freelance book designer.

My journey began in 1996, when I created my first "design" using Microsoft Word for a school magazine. Since then, much has changed—technology, software, trends—but my passion for design has remained constant, continually shaping my career.

I specialize in book interiors because of my deep love for books. It’s no coincidence that I became a book designer; as a lifelong reader, books are where I find inspiration and creativity. Just as an author brings a story to life, it’s my job to present it beautifully. After all, no one wants to see a stunning creation dressed poorly. A well-designed book doesn’t just hold a story—it invites readers in with elegance and style.

I began designing as a hobby, now it is a passion for me.
