Book and Publication Design

Books are very fine tuned pieces of art. From the cover and blurb to the subtle way the text is displayed across the pages. From the feel of the paper to the weight of the book in your hand. 

Books and publications are beautiful collections of knowledge and wondrous stories for us to delve into. I have a great love for this art form and I am dedicated to creating the best platform for you to share your voice.

Book design includes the typesetting of your book as well as the cover design, illustrations, content organisation and print setting. It is a delicate process to create the perfect book. Each book holds its own personality and this comes through the subtle nuances of its design as well as it’s words.
