Print design and layout for polygraphy

I will design and lay out print materials that are truly ready for the press, so the printing house accepts your files without a single question and the result on paper matches what you saw on screen. I work with booklets, catalogs, restaurant menus, leaflets and folders, building each layout on a proper grid with consistent margins, typography and a clear visual hierarchy that guides the reader from the cover to the call to action.

Much more than looks, I handle the technical side that most designs fail on. I prepare files in the correct color space for printing, convert and check images to the required resolution, add bleeds and safety margins so nothing important is cut off, and set up trim marks and imposition where the job needs it. Fonts are outlined or embedded, overprint and knockout are checked, and a preflight pass catches thin lines, low-resolution images and objects sitting outside the safe area before anything reaches the press.

You receive print-ready files in the format your printing house asks for, along with a soft-proof preview for approval and, if you like, editable source files for future changes. Tell me the format, page count, paper and the printer's technical requirements, and I will confirm the specification and propose a layout direction before production begins, so there are no costly surprises after the run is printed.
