Getting Started
Once you get in touch with our team, we will conduct a brand audit to gain a sense of your starting point, what you are hoping to achieve, and who your target audience is. As we dive deeper into the Discovery Process, we will perform research and review data that will inform us even more about critical aspects of your strategic vision, such as the accessibility needs that may come with your target audience. You can learn more about this process on our blog.
Once a direction has been established, we will move onto typesetting which includes:
– Formatting
– Headers
– Footers
– Page numbers
– Frontmatter (copyright, ISBN, etc.)
– Margins/Gutter/Bleeds
– Typography
– Page breaks
– Section breaks
– Odd & even pages
– Image placement
– Proofreading
Our team has an in-depth knowledge of the full Adobe Suite, including InDesign which is the most popular and effective design software available for typesetting. We help you determine how to best approach your text’s design based on your creative vision and professional needs. For example, if you are self-publishing a book, you will typically have more creative freedom than if you are working under a contract or submitting your work to a publisher for consideration. We can help you bridge the gap between your creative desires and any guidelines you must follow before going to print or digital distribution.
Accessibility
To meet the needs of a diverse audience, publishers must take accessibility into account. This means considering text size, color contrast, alt-text (in the case of digital publications that contain images), and other elements which can be disruptive to the visually impaired. We will help execute your creative ideas in a way that is accessible to all by performing a series of tests, checks, and proofreading.
Multiple Revisions
We always send completed designs to our clients for their review. We are happy to make alterations to ensure everything is formatted correctly and that expectations are met. We offer unlimited revisions as long as you retain a positive balance.
