Page Design

A successful Page Design and the subsequent Typesetting fulfils a range of considerations and requirements, including:

  • Audience

  • Manuscript structure and word count

  • Page extent, print cost and RRP

  • Style and aesthetic

We’re happy working to a pre-defined brief – or helping guide you through the options, and making recommendations to achieve the best outcome.
