Book Design the Book Designers can help you in every aspect of creating your book. We do it all — design (cover, jacket, interiors), concept development, visualizations, full editorial services, photography and custom illustrations. Making a beautiful book begins with the Book Designers. Design Process the Book Designers start every project with a detailed "design brief" with you to make sure we understand your vision. After that we enter a stage of research and thorough exploration of the subject and visual metaphors that would best define your vision to your target audience. Diving deep into the design process we present you with a highly refined selection of ideas, which we discuss with you and fine-tune until we get what we are all looking for. We thrive on a healthy spirit of collaboration and involvement all the way through the design process until we arrive at the desired destination: a book that exceeds all your expectations. Research In-depth exploration into your project’s market positioning and competition takes place prior to any design. We take research seriously and make sure we start every project with a well organized and structured plan to make your book successful. After we have a good understanding of what the book needs to look like we narrow our efforts to the specifics: what images best tell your story, what typeface (font) speaks your language, how pages are best designed and what colors, shapes and sizes do justice to your book’s final goal: to look good, read well, tell your story and sell well. That is only possible with a process that starts with research and mutual interest, intent and understanding. Layout Page layout is just as important to us as the book cover—after all, it’s the main thing people will experience as they read your book. From simple text-driven books to more evolved and dynamic layouts, we are your one-stop shop for getting it done on time the right way. A Full Range of Editorial Services We know words. Whether your best-seller-to-be needs copy editing or you’re struggling to put words down on paper, the Book Designers are your solution. We offer developmental editing, copy editing and proofreading by top wordsmiths. Copywriting and Developmental Editing The most important characteristic of books is that they can be read and assimilated. What good is book that lacks the ability to draw in its reader? At the Book Designers we feel that properly developed editorial structuring and well developed copy will separate you from the crowd. How your book reads and flows is equally as important as its visual appeal. Copy Editing and Proofreading A well edited book means that it can be read smoothly and has a solid, consistent voice and message. A well proofread book means that your book won’t have spelling and grammar issues. This is crucial to your book’s success in being taken seriously. We take it very seriously. Photography We can arrange it, shoot it, scan it, fix it and color-adjust it. the Book Designers will take on any photo assignment, including digitizing, color correction and touching up your photos for optimum reproduction. We also have access to photo vaults and libraries of images to fill in any gaps, and to source appropriate images. Illustration A brilliant illustration can make all the difference in a book’s design. From simple spot art to elaborate digital compositions and every medium in between, we are happy to explore the wonders of what a great piece of art can do for your book’s appeal.
