In other words . . . I offer the interior design and
composition of books.
I believe that each area of design
expertise (interior, covers, brochures, catalogs, etc.) requires 100% focus and devotion.
I use Adobe InDesign for design
layouts and composition. Images are handled with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. I package everything with Adobe Acrobat.
With over 2,500 books designed, I bring
together many years of traditional and innovative interior book design and exceptional technological skills, to provide quality book design for the past, present, and future.
I studied graphic design at Layton School of Art (Milwaukee, WI), and I have
had the privilege and honor of studying book design and typography under several accomplished book designers, most notably Robert Chapdu, Irving Perkins, and Yoram Mizrahi.
While the world around us continues to change, the method by which we
read and the principles of comprehension remain the same.
The designer’s role is to enable the reader to comprehend the material
easily and efficiently. Traditional and foundational book design principles are imperative in accomplishing these results.
Anyone can turn the screw . . . it’s knowing how far to turn the screw that
makes all the difference in the world.
