Graphic Design

I offer you a creative arsenal for building successful brands, from nationally recognized book cover designs and interiors for authors, coaches and small businesses, to large-scale identity programs and media kits. You get a single quoted fee for your print media project or product cover where other designers charge a-la-carte prices that can leave your project costing hundreds of dollars more than it should. There are no hidden charges and any additions are discussed with you up front so you feel confident and knowledgeable about what goes into your project.

Together we can create the image that will work best for catching your audience’s attention and get noticed!

Here are a few items that are important for your print design to be effective. It should:

• Invoke desire in the viewer. Does the design make a person want to pick up a book and buy it? Invest in your service? Identify with your music?
• Incorporate the theme of your product, service, or business (your brand). Does the design effectively convey your “voice” and style?
• Be creative. Is the design a different and unique expression? Is it tasteful?
• Continue to express, throughout additional materials and your website, like and trust with you and your subject matter. Is it created with benefits in mind?
• Utilize beautiful typography, appropriate line spacing, margins and photo placement that enhance the over all product experience. Will the viewer want to preserve the item?

Book Cover Design

My services offer you the expertise of a professional designer that respects your input.  My goal is to give you a dynamic, lasting and stunning book cover, cd cover, identity package, flyer or press kit that will motivate your audience. Best of all, I offer you an appropriate price based on the actual time I spend on your project.

Why me?

I care about your project and I walk you through the process and answer your questions.
I offer competitive rates and respond promptly to all calls and emails. This is a design service business and I treat all projects with the greatest attention.

As a professional designer I am proficient and experienced in a wide variety of software including Adobe Photoshop and InDesign, which make all the difference to the final look of your product! Creating  something that looks wonderful from the inside out requires skill, time, and careful attention to detail to get it that way, but due to my experience and organization, I am able to complete projects efficiently which translates to the cost save for you.

In addition to creating a design that combines the necessary elements and your content together in joyous harmony, I make sure your final product is print-ready and adheres to the requirements of your printer or publisher. I am always available beyond the end of the project to ensure your first print run is problem-free and support your print provider in any way I can.

The Process

Every design project I take on includes consultation, research, pre-proofing or concepts, revisions and constant communication with you.  Projects typically take as little as 5 days or as many as 30 depending on the scope and deadline; the timeline is discussed with you in depth at the start of the project, or detailed in your proposal.

The average print project or identity package consists of 1-3 items which are quoted between $140 – $600, however your budget is important to me and I do whatever I can to help you achieve excellent results that won’t strain you financially.
