The difference professional graphic design and layout makes

 

These days it is easy for just about anyone to create their own print layouts on their home computer. Programs like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher and Adobe Photoshop make it simple for everyday users to create their own designs, sometimes even to a standard high enough for printing. Unfortunately, most people cannot output the kind of file that results in excellent printing, a high impact, professional-looking layout with attractive, copyright-safe images and, perhaps most importantly, readable text. When you have spent hours writing a book, or when you are about to invest thousands of dollars in printing and distributing a flyer, it is logical to ensure your budget covers the cost of a good designer to set out your print project.

I am an experienced graphic designer with excellent knowledge of image copyrights and places to find attractive, royalty free photos. Using Adobe InDesign, I will typeset your book's interior or cover, brochure or other layout project with creativity, originality, speed and brand awareness.

I have worked on many layout projects and some examples of what I can do are:

• Book cover design, including ISBN barcode graphics
• Book layout, including children's books, novel typesetting, e-book layout, non-fiction book design
• DVD cover design (slicks/jackets, disk art, menu and program graphics for television viewing)
• Newsletter layout
• Brochure layout and flyer design (DL, A5, A4—whatever size you need)
• Business card design
• Catalogue layout
• Manual typesetting and procedural document setup
• Magazine design and newspaper article layout
• PowerPoint presentation design
• Report layout
• Script layout (television, film and plays)
• Business plan design
• Website designs
