Editorial Design

Editorial Design is more than randomly placing images and text on a page.

It’s chunking information so the reader can easily understand it, using typeface styles and images to tell a more meaningful story, and causing an emotional response in the reader.

Designs for Growth will work with you to determine the words and images to tell your story. First we will determine whether illustration or photography tells a clearer story. Then we can either work with your existing photographer or illustrator or select one whose style achieves your desired look. You will find we clearly communicate the desired results to a photographer or illustrator, including a shot list, and the process flows smoothly. Or if your budget is tight, we can research existing photography or illustration to find the perfect image.

These images and type will be combined to create a visually compelling article that enhances your connection with the reader. Creating a publication that stands apart from the others.
