Digital Typesetting & Formatting

Objective: Understand client requirements and project scope.

• Discussion: The process begins with an initial consultation to discuss your project’s goals, timeline, and specific requirements.
• Project Assessment: We assess the materials you provide, including manuscripts, graphics, and any formatting guidelines.
• Quote and Agreement: Based on the assessment, we provide a detailed quote outlining the scope of work, timelines, and costs. Once approved, we finalize an agreement to proceed.

Objective: Organize and prepare the content for typesetting.

• Content Review: We review the provided content for clarity, consistency, and completeness. Any necessary edits or adjustments are discussed with the client.
• Formatting Guidelines: We ensure that we understand any specific formatting guidelines (e.g., for books, academic papers, or marketing materials) that must be adhered to during typesetting.
• File Organization: We organize all files, including text documents, images, and any reference materials, for efficient access throughout the project.

Objective: Create the initial layout and design of the document.

• Layout Design: Using professional typesetting software, we create the document layout, incorporating elements such as headings, paragraphs, images, tables, and footnotes.
• Typography Selection: We select appropriate fonts, sizes, and styles that align with the project’s theme and purpose, ensuring readability and visual appeal.
• Graphic Integration: Any graphics or images provided are integrated into the layout, ensuring they are properly positioned and formatted.

Objective: Review and refine the typeset document.

• Proofreading: The typeset document undergoes thorough proofreading to identify any typographical errors, inconsistencies, or formatting issues.
• Client Review: We send the draft to the client for feedback. This step allows the client to review the typesetting and suggest any revisions or modifications.
• Revisions: Based on client feedback, we make necessary adjustments to the layout, text, and graphics to ensure complete satisfaction.

Objective: Prepare the document for delivery.

• Final Review: A final quality check is conducted to ensure that all revisions have been implemented and that the document meets all specified guidelines.
• Formatting for Delivery: We prepare the final document in the required formats, whether for print, digital publication, or both. This may include PDF, ePub, or other formats depending on the client’s needs.
• Backup and Archiving: We create backups of the final files and related materials for future reference or potential reprints.

Objective: Ensure a smooth handover and provide ongoing support.

• Delivery: The final document is delivered to the client via their preferred method (email, file transfer service, etc.).
• Post-Production Support: We remain available for any follow-up questions or additional adjustments after delivery. If any issues arise or further edits are needed, we work with the client to resolve them promptly.
• Feedback and Testimonials: We encourage clients to provide feedback on our services, which helps us improve our processes and build stronger client relationships.
