Sandrock Press
Professional book design & production
Book design is a unique process that requires specific training and experience. Many graphic designers specialise in digital media and have less knowledge of design for print in general, and the specialist world of books in particular. Alongside my branding, marketing and design businesses I have worked in book and journal production for over thirty years, including pre-press management at several printers.
I have created Sandrock Press as a one-stop-shop for book design and production. I can advise on manuscript preparation, editing & sub-editing, addition of illustration & photography, cover design and all steps of the process.
Studio 618
Graphic design, branding, creative marketing
Design is a process. There can be no flash of a lightbulb moment without the diligence that comes first. Asking the right questions, listening carefully, carrying out thorough research, adopting different perspectives, making strategic choices… all of these things come before making the bold design decisions which lead to winning results.
Studio 618 is a consultancy with bags of experience and a comprehensive approach. Because of the breadth and depth of our experience we can take care of every part of the process. Brand positioning and strategy, original design, copy writing, sourcing and creating images… ultimately we deliver refined finished websites, printed literature, advertising and all kinds of marketing material.
