Grid and structure
I start with a grid and a page system: how products, headings, captions and tables repeat. One well-thought system saves time on every following edition.
Typography
I choose fonts and styles for readability in print and on screen: sizes, spacing, hierarchy. Typography is what makes a publication pleasant to read.
Print preparation
I check bleeds, colour profiles, image resolution and imposition. I deliver files that the printer accepts without rework.
Timing and price
Layout takes 2 to 6 weeks depending on the number of pages and revisions. The price is by agreement and depends on the volume of materials.
