Summary

My passion is to create publications from the ground up. Done that for the last 13 years. Always seeing content and form as one: visual journalism. Through out my career I have been lucky enough to work on some fabulous print projects on all positions in publishing design industry. From designer to design editor, to art director and as creative director. I take real joy in designing publications not only telling others how to do it.
Through out my design process I especially take care about, architecture and content, section architecture and pacing, page hierarchy and typography, story structures, editorial tone and image usage.
It's a process with a simple goal: to create design solutions that produce results for your company. And, if you're like most of my clients, you'll like the results so much you'll be proud about it.

Detailed Service Description

I provide design services specialized in:
magazine,
book and
newspaper design.

From concept ideas, design to layout services.

I provide consultancy services for everyone involved in magazine publishing.

Also I provide design services for all other sorts of publications, from annual reports through booklets to brochures.

Pls read my service description on major subjects in publishing industry:

_Design_
Design process is not derived from any formula or particular style. Each publication must have its own identity and personality. My comprehensive design services range from analysis to concept development to prototype production to extensive post-launch review. Final model pages are devised in close cooperation with our clients in-house project teams. I supervise the creation of a comprehensive design stylebook and help train for the implementation of the design into your daily production.

_Editorial_
Editorial content must evolve and adjust their editorial strategy to keep pace with these changes, or face declining readership. I believe it starts with knowing who you are, or who you want to be, then understanding who your readers are and what they want. From there I can help craft a mission statement for your publication that can guide all aspects, from content, to design, to marketing.

_Consultancy_
The competitive nature of today's marketplace puts an increasing emphasis on branding - that is, how professional, identifiable, and direct your company's graphic design is across the board, from typographic treatments to logos to colors.
I will work with your marketing department or an outside agency to suggest the most effective approaches to sell a new look to your audiences. Any major change needs to be explained carefully to both readers and advertisers alike.
