Big document, book & report design

This is where you need to be if you want something designing and printing. Print design, report design, book design, illustration work and graphic art are all things we’ve been doing for years, love working on and taking to completion. The service includes:

What do we design?

We make books, academic or AGM reports (both with illustration and artwork included), big documents, leaflets, flyers and a whole range of other, kinds of print products.

Designing reports

We can put together small and large reports. We can make them as creative, functional and concise as you like and the illustrations – should you need them – come as part of the service. Take a look on Instagram if you’d like to look at visuals.

We’ll manage the printing and binding for you too. If you have a preferred printer, then we can work with, as well as answering any questions you may have about the print process.

Need a quote for a funder? Feel free to ask for a quote for a funding body. It can be itemised and supplied as designed PDF.

Designing big documents

Big documents are print items that aren’t a report, aren’t a leaflet and aren’t a book. They tend to be big things that get folded down to a smaller size, or something with very few pages and some artwork. For example an A2 flyer that folds down to A5, a concertina-fold leaflet or a four-page booklet would all qualify. Art, illustration and print management is included.

There is a post about big documents available on the blog, here (it’s not too long!).

Designing & illustrating books

We’ve made and illustrated books of many types and sizes, including eBooks and old-school print books. This process tends to be quite involved and it makes more sense to discuss it over email or on the phone, rather than try to fit it all in here. Suffice to say that we can manage the art, the design and small-run printing.

What does print management mean?

It means that we’ll look after the printing for you. Either we can use your preferred printing service or we can suggest one. Once the printer is in place, the print process is managed from start to finish, whether it’s a complex third-party system (e.g. Lulu book printing) or a local printer of your choice. For books, we only provide print management for smaller runs.

Bespoke illustration, data visualisation and figures

We’ll develop these together and make sure that they fit your project. They might be simple, straight forward graphs or complex infographics designed to tell a story. Either way, they won’t come from AI; they’ll be developed by a living breathing artist and designer who is a dab hand with real-world pencils as well as digital painting techniques. See below for more details on illustration, but as a general rule, artwork (whether its technical drawings, a set of bespoke charts or a digital approximation of painting) is already priced in.

Single point of contact & quick turnaround

This means that you’ll have just one person to deal with throughout the process – most likely Fran – and they will support you with corrections and a quick completion time if you need it. Just be sure to let us know your deadlines and we’ll work towards them alongside you.
