I'm very comfortable and experienced in designing every aspect of a book project, from producing initial presentation spreads to the printed book. I can commission photographers, illustrators, food stylists or picture researchers for the project.  I can liase with the author, editor and production dept as necessary. I have the technical expertise with page layout software usually in Indesign or maybe Jacket designs in Photoshop. And finally sending print-ready pdfs to the repro house, checking proofs or liasing with printers.

 

I've designed illustrated books on a huge range of subjects: food and drink; gardening; sport such as cycling, fishing and sailing; health and fitness; hobbies; parenting and for children.

 

I've art directed studio and location photography e.g 'Complete Bike Book', 'World Food Cafe', 'Better Back'. I've commissioned illustrations  

e.g 'Bonding with your Bump',  'Better Back', 'Gluten-free Cookbook'.
