Book design
Book cover designer in Chennai
The studio is in Chennai. For publishers and authors in Tamil Nadu that means proofs you can look at in person, printers we already work with, and a designer in your own time zone.
Overview
What this service covers
We work regularly with Chennai and wider Tamil Nadu publishers on Tamil and English titles, academic texts, educational books and trade fiction. Local work brings advantages that remote design cannot match: press checks, paper stock decisions made with samples in hand, and meetings that do not need scheduling three days ahead.
The same studio handles overseas commissions, so a local publisher gets the benefit of an internationally practised team without the distance.
Process
Four stages, each with an approval point
Meet or call
A conversation about the list, the title and the print plan, in person if that suits you.
Concepts
Directions presented flat, and on stock samples where the finish matters.
Proofing
Physical proofs reviewed together before the file goes to press.
Press-ready delivery
Final files supplied to your printer in their required format.
