Book Design



We have always enjoyed the enthusiasm of every new author, their passion for their subject, and assisting them in bringing their project to fruition. Often beginning with a face-to-face meeting, authors will frequently ask, what does a book designer actually do? In answer to that question I offer The Book Design Process

  • Design Brief. The overall project is discussed including a review of the subject matter and the proposed physical characteristics of your book or cover.
  • Concept Development. Verbal concepts are developed to focus on the direction you wish to pursue visually.
  • Design Research. Design research is done for the selected concepts. Graphic elements are introduced.
  • Thumbnail Sketches. An exploration on paper of possible design solutions, the best of which are selected for further development.
  • Rough Layout. Generally composed on a computer in actual size, refined and then evaluated, the best of which are selected for even further development.
  • Comprehensive Layout. Rendered with enhanced detail and precision and presented to you for final approval. Color selection occurs at this stage.
  • Art Production and Proofreading. A final proof is prepared incorporating any revisions or corrections.
  • Preparation for Printing and Electronic File Submission. Files are ‘pre-flighted’ to assure that all images and fonts are present before outputting. A full-color interim proof of your cover would be advisable.
  • Matchprint and Bluelines. An Online SoftProof (OSP) or Digital Blueline Hardcopy (DBL) is obtained from the printer to assure that prepress was completed to your specifications.

Each book is unique and in the context of this process it remains the task of our designer to create the look of the cover and/or interior of your book; along with developing its personality, driven by a meaningful, imaginative style and visual flow.



Annual reports



Annual reports are formal financial statements that are published yearly and sent to company stockholders and various other interested parties. The reports assess the year's operations and discuss the companies' view of the upcoming year and the companies' place and prospects. Both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations produce annual reports. Companies meet this requirement in many ways. At its most basic, an annual report includes: General description of the industry or industries in which the company is involved.Audited statements of income, financial position, cash flow, and notes to the statements providing details for various line items.A management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) of the business's financial condition and the results that the company has posted over the previous two years.A brief description of the company's business in the most recent year.Information related to the company's various business segments.Listing of the company's directors and executive officers, as well as their principal occupations, and, if a director, the principal business of the company that employs him or her.Market price of the company's stock and dividends paid.
