Book design. Catalogues . Reports.

Since immemorial times, culture has been the representative dimension of the human imagination and printed work one of its tools.

We provide an enhanced layout service, using modern typesetting principles, for both book works and digital media and, if required, professional linguistic and stylistic editing.

Creating an  editorial design project requires extensive knowledge related to hierarchising information, communication codes, narrative structures, grids and layout creation and even a general cultural background, which is important for contextualising all the work in the most appropriate, structured and coherent way.

We provide all the necessary technical advice, so that you know, in detail, the fundamental steps of the whole process and can thus make the most informed decisions. We deliver the final arts ready for printing (if you want, we take care of the printing) or appropriate file for online digital publication.

FAQ - Editorial Design

Editorial design is the area of graphic design dedicated to creating and organising layouts for publications such as books, magazines, newspapers and digital materials, with the aim of making the content more attractive and easier to read.

The main elements include typography, visual hierarchy, the use of images, colours and the harmonious arrangement of content to make it easier to read and understand.

Good editorial design improves the reader’s experience, makes information easier to understand and makes the publication more attractive, increasing engagement with the content.

In the digital environment, editorial design incorporates interactive and responsive elements, ensuring that publications are accessible and attractive on different devices and platforms.

Some of the most widely used software includes Adobe InDesign, Affinity Publisher and Quark, which help to create professional layouts for various publications.

The stages usually include: research and planning, concept creation, layout development, revision and adjustments, and finalisation for printing or digital publication.

Graphic design is a broad area that encompasses various specialities, while editorial design focuses specifically on creating layouts for publications, prioritising the organisation of textual and visual content.

Well-executed editorial design can reinforce the brand’s visual identity, convey professionalism and credibility, and create an emotional connection with the target audience.

Some trends include minimalism, the use of personalised illustrations, interactivity in digital publications and a concern for sustainability in printed materials.

The choice of typography must take into account legibility, the tone of the publication and harmonisation with other graphic elements, with the aim of providing a pleasant reading that is consistent with the message.

If you want to take your book to print, author editing mode allows you to have full control over all editing stages. Starting with the fact that all the printed books are yours. There are no royalties to pay and no need to wait for an accounting. Of course all promotional aspects are your responsibility, but also all potential profits are yours. We have successfully helped several authors in this way. First at local level and then at national level. For those who just want to have a few copies for themselves and friends/family, this is a great option. You can have a well-executed and totally professional book where control is on your side. But it is also an excellent option for those who want to start a writing career, having at their disposal the tools to help them create their book and promote it.
