Books, reports, packaging and signage — design that has to be manufactured.
Print is unforgiving in a way screens are not: it goes to press once. Every engagement includes a proofing stage on the actual stock, and I go on press for anything that matters.
Who it is for — Books, reports, packaging and signage — design that has to be manufactured.
Process
Four stages, with something real handed over at the end of each one.
A week of interviews, an audit of what exists, and a written position you can disagree with. Nothing is drawn yet.
One direction, developed properly, presented with its reasoning. Alternatives exist and get shown as workings, not as a menu.
The system gets made: components, templates, artwork, tokens. Tested against the ugliest real content you have.
Guidelines a non-designer can follow, a decision record for every system-level choice, and two weeks of questions included.
Who I work with
Send a paragraph about the problem — not a brief. I will tell you honestly whether it is a job for this studio, and roughly what it would take.
