“Guido Caroti served as my graphic designer and art director at HarperAudio, the audiobook imprint at HarperCollins Publishers where he was responsible for adapting book jackets to digital audio covers, designing compact disc mechanicals, creating supplemental material PDFs and designing new covers. I found Guido to be both incredibly talented and creative as a designer and conscientious when it came to meeting deadlines. Guido would be an asset to any art department and I would highly recommend his services!”

"I have known Guido for a number of years now, as he designed several covers for Lincoln Square Books. Most recently, he was instrumental in the design of an illustrated children's book, laying out each page imaginatively, and helping to make the illustrations really do the work they were intended to do. He was swift and accurate, and his help in getting the book ready for publication was invaluable. He is generous with his time and flexibility, and his work is first rate. When it comes to book design, I would recommend him wholeheartedly as the man for the job. Hiring Guido is like having money in the bank!"
