ABOUT
I have been an accomplished typographer and graphic arts professional since 1982, and have been working exclusively on the design and production of book covers and their interior layout since 2002.

I typeset my first book on an Alphatype system for Harbour Publishing in 1982 and have since worked in most aspects of print publishing, expanding my skills and scope and keeping abreast of the changing technology.

EXTRAS
• I design and create graphs, maps, and other graphic elements that may be required to complete and complement a text
• I can scan your continuous tone or line-art images and make the adjustments necessary for them to be print quality
• My extensive archive of photographs and image sources can provide the basis for effective and affordable cover solutions. A small selection of my work can be viewed on my flickr site
• I have a wide range of text and display fonts to effectively marry type with text

WORKING TOGETHER
Fees
Costs for design and production depend upon length, size, complexity, number of elements, pricing, and, of course, your budget. Let's discuss.

Process
If you have an in-house procedure, please advise me of that. If not, the process begins with your enquiry.

To begin, I will need to know:

Cover
Content
• a synopsis of book
• marketing profile / target audience
• a pdf or word file of manuscript is very helpful
• author's comments, guides, or suggestions
• image availability

Technical
• format (paper, perfect bound, hardcover with wrap, etc...)
• trim size / bleed
• number of colours or special consideration (e.g. varnish, emboss)
• paper stock; matte or gloss finish
• your printer's template, if preferred
• other considerations

Interior
• trim size / bleed
• estimated number of pages
• synopsis of text, design direction
• word files
• editing requirements
• text breakdown: levels of heading, notes, tables, illustrations, quotes,
  photographs, etc.
• printing method
• paper (weight/colour)

Budget, timeline, and other matters can be addressed upon consultation.
