Newsletters
A newsletter is an invaluable tool to update your customers about what's going
on in your company, to inform them of special deals, personnel or policy changes,
etc. It's an unobtrusive way to remind your customers that you're "out there"
and can build on thier relationship with you. At Design Solutions, we can design
you a master newsletter template that your company can then publish and update,
or for the companies that are too busy to do it themselves… we can take on the
entire project for you! Give us an outline (and a little education into your product
line/service) and we can write the entire newsletter for you. Our extensive library
of stock illustration
and photography
are a real asset to newsletter production. We can handle the distribution/mailing
of your completed newsletter and will maintain your mail list for you.

Book Design / Magazines / Journals
 Long
publications such as books, textbooks, magazines and journals require certain
knowledge that other forms of design do not. Bindery methods, signatures, and
creep are just some of the technical issues the designer must know and compensate
for. Other concerns include choosing the right typefaces that both fit the publication's
character while still being easy to read. We have designed complete books, manipulated
pagination for set signatures and know how to adjust for page creep. Book design
is one of the many long publication design services we offer. We can design utilizing
the rules from the Chicago Manual of Style, and we are experts at choosing the
right typefaces to set the proper mood while still being as readable as possible
Book Jackets and Covers
 The
book jacket sells your book. Period. It helps your book get the potential buyer's
attention, hints at what's inside, and piques interest. It's the first thing a
book shopper encounters, and you need it to "tell the story" all by itself, especially
if the writer's name is not yet well-known. It's a tough job - you don't want
your book lost in the jumble. We'll work with the author and publisher to develop
a design concept, use photography or illustration, or both as needed, to create
a book jacket design that book buyers will notice. We've got the experience. Design
Solutions can do all color retouching and proofing in house utilizing our digital
color proofing system. Plus, we can generate all book cover bar codes for different
venues.
