Publication Design
Starts at $750
Publications vary widely in size, scope, and delivery. We can work through the number of pages, the stakeholders, the content requirements, concept, stories, data, and other needs. Some organizations will be happy to hand over the creation of the publication so they can focus on other work, while other organizations may want to work closely to generate content. I can work in different ways to help you produce the publication and take on as much or as little work as you need.
Pricing can vary dramatically depending on the size and complexity of the publication, so let’s talk about the scope together!

Photography or Writing Add Ons
Starts at $500
Does your team or board need new headshots to go in the publication? Do you need data analysis, interviews, and content writing? I’ve done all of it for years in newspapers and magazine publications. Let’s make sure your book looks and sounds consistent, with great content throughout.
Pricing starts with producing small team headshots and can be as comprehensive as photographing scenes and products for the whole publication. The best part is, you get to keep all the images for use elsewhere. Contact me for more details so we can customize your product plan.

How it works
Designing a publication is a structured process that balances clarity, brand identity, and reader engagement. Here’s how I approach it:
- Discovery & Planning – I begin by understanding the client’s goals, target audience, and branding requirements. We discuss content structure, key messages, and any design preferences.
- Concept Development – I create initial design concepts, including typography, color schemes, and layout styles, ensuring a cohesive visual direction. Or use previously established designs that you would like to use.
- Content Layout & Design – Once the concept is approved, I design the full report, carefully laying out text, images, and data visuals for readability and impact. Alignment, spacing, and hierarchy are meticulously refined.
- Review & Revisions – The draft is shared for feedback, and I make necessary adjustments to ensure accuracy and alignment with your vision.
- Finalization & Delivery – After final approval, I prepare print-ready and digital-friendly files, ensuring all elements meet production specifications.
This process ensures a polished, professional publication that effectively communicates your organization’s story. Let’s create a report that makes an impact!
