Great design sensibilities, fast, responsive, easy to work with, and fairly priced.  I can’t imagine anything else I could want from a designer that Peri doesn’t provide. Peri has done my cover, my interior, my logo, my business cards and stationery, my flyers and posters, and most recently, a round of revisions for a second printing.  Every one of these projects was done with skill and professionalism.

Working with Peri on the design of my first book was a wonderful and successful experience. She understood what I wanted to achieve and she exceeded my expectations. Plus, she was fun and professional — my favorite combination in business.

Peri instinctively knew what imagery would best capture the essence of my book. I was amazed since all the suggestions I had for her were nothing like what she came up with. But, I am glad she did not listen to me, because I think the imagery she selected was perfect for the book and gave it a sharp, professional looking appearance for a very reasonable rate.

Peri extraordinarily talented. She has designed three books and covers for me and I’m always delighted to work with her. She’s fast, easy to work with, and a terrific designer!

When we opened Franklin Mason Press, one of our top priorities was finding a designer that was not only talented, but would be able to hold our hands through the numerous uncharted territories. Peri was not only extremely talented and creative, she was such a great source of information and ideas. She is professional, punctual, clear, and the fact that we have never even considered using another designer in 10 years speaks volumes.  Her design work is of the highest quality, her guidance is dead on, managing the process is seamless.  If you are a first-time self-publisher, you have stumbled upon the exact kind of designer you need. At the end of the day, you need someone that is talented, that you can trust, and will work as if they were a partner in your project...that’s Peri.

Peri has come through for us every time – with beautiful designs that make our materials stand out from the crowd. Her work is consistently world class and yet affordable, with turnaround times that satisfy even the most impatient of us. People do judge our books and DVDs by their covers, so I’m very glad that we have Peri to help us make our case.

My book is getting rave reviews and people LOVE the cover design and inside layout. Your design really made the book. I already have two distributors interested in me and lots of television stations. It is very exciting. Thanks so much for your creative genius.

When I first started writing my book I had many ideas about what the cover might look like. Never did I imagine what would happen when a person like Peri would first listen to my vision and then, use her own creative instinct to bring it alive. It became more than what I hoped for, in fact, it brought my words into image. Peri Gabriel is a consummate creative partner. She trusts her client’s vision and she trusts her own ability to create. This is a powerful combination that can make stunning covers and interior designs that live on the page.

Peri combines the art of listening with her own keen imagination and technical skill. She adds to these assets a sense of humor and a willingness to try almost anything. She is patient with last minute changes, again and again and hardly pauses for a deep breath when we have to start all over again.  She created four successful covers for us and is a joy to work with.

In a few words, Peri is fabulous. I could not have asked for a more responsive designer of my first book.  Her wealth of experience, not to mention her graphic design ability, gave me great confidence in the process — from start to finish. She took my rough concept of a book cover and interior layout and turned it into a work of art. I’ve received lots of compliments on how the book presents visually. Everybody wants to know who my designer was. As an added bonus, I was able to avail myself of her expertise even though I live on the East coast and she lives in the Midwest, thanks to the wonders of technology. Most certainly I will be calling Peri when I start gearing up for my next book.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with Peri Gabriel since 2000. Her cover designs are beautiful, professional, and always seem to capture the particular book’s theme. Authors and publishers can be completely confident in her work and know that their book is off to a great start! As an editor, illustrator, and publisher I have the utmost respect for Peri as a person, a businesswoman and as a designer.

Without a doubt, Peri is our choice of cover designers when we need fresh, innovative and creative covers that successfully sell books. Whether she creates a simple booklet or a fully-designed, award-winning hardcover design and layout, Peri epitomizes grace and humor under fire – especially when our schedules require a quick response and flexibility.  I highly recommend Peri Gabriel to anyone looking for a truly gifted book designer.

It is such a pleasure working with Peri on our publications.  Her designs for our California Journal of Science Education are always captivating and creative, and the journal absolutely exudes the professionalism that we want our members to feel. The work she’s done for us over the past eight-plus years has been extraordinary, and we receive overwhelmingly positive comments about the quality of our publications, thanks in large part to the effort she makes to give then a professional look and feel.

Like the best museum curators, choosing just the right setting and presentation for a work of art, or collection, Peri has the rare ability to take something perfect and make it better. Each book finds a unique frame in her hands, showcasing the art and story without overpowering them, or altering the publisher’s intention.

I have had many, many compliments on the cover design for After the Diagnosis. Just thought you might want to let people know your cover design is doing well on Amazon! Thanks to some really good timing and the famous “O” factor You: The Smart Patient went from a ranking of around #850 to #2 on Tuesday. After the Diagnosis went from #376,800 to less than #3000! It is beautiful and sends an emotion packed message. Thank you again!
