Services
Everything the studio makes
Thirty service pages grouped into six areas of work. Each one explains the scope, the process, the files you receive and what it costs you to change your mind halfway through.
Book design
Covers designed to work as a printed object and as a retail thumbnail, from single titles to full series systems.
- Book cover designA cover has about two seconds to work.
- Book cover design servicesIf you are comparing cover design suppliers, the differences that matter are rarely visual.
- Book cover page designThe cover page is the first thing a reader sees after the jacket, and it is where a lot of books quietly fall apart.
- Professional book cover designSome titles carry more weight than others: a lead release, a prize submission, a relaunch, a book the whole year's marketing hangs on.
- Book cover designer in ChennaiThe studio is in Chennai.
- Book design companyThere is a difference between hiring a freelancer for one cover and appointing a studio to look after a list.
Book illustration
Character-led artwork for picture books, illustrated non-fiction and trade titles, produced to a consistent style across a whole book.
- Book illustrationIllustration inside a book has a harder job than a single striking image.
- Illustration servicesNot every illustration commission is a book.
- Illustrated book projectsAn illustrated book is a different animal from a novel with a nice cover.
- Old book illustrationsScanned engravings and antique plates rarely survive a reprint unaided.
- Book illustration designer in ChennaiOur illustrators work from the Chennai studio.
- Illustration outsourcing from IndiaOutsourcing works when it is boring: predictable capacity, files that arrive in the right format, and no surprises the week before your deadline.
Publishing
Interior typesetting and production support that carries a manuscript through to press-ready files.
Specialised illustration
Accurate artwork for medicine, science, engineering and education, drawn from references and checked before rendering.
- Medical illustrationMedical illustration has one requirement above every other: it has to be correct.
- Scientific illustrationReviewers and readers form an impression of a paper from its figures before they read the methods.
- Technical drawingA good technical drawing removes questions.
- Educational infographic redesignMost textbook figures fail for the same reasons: too much on the page, no visual hierarchy, colour used decoratively rather than meaningfully, and labels set too small to read after reduction.
- Product illustrationsIllustration beats photography for products more often than people expect: when the range is too large to shoot, when the product does not exist yet, when the interior matters more than the surface, or when every item has to look identical in treatment.
- CAD image colorizationCAD output is made for engineers.
Creative illustration
Cartooning, storyboards, fashion and campaign illustration for teams that need a distinctive drawn voice.
- Digital cartooningCartooning does a specific job.
- E-learning illustrationCourse artwork gets consumed at speed on screens of every size.
- Fashion illustrationsFashion illustration covers two very different jobs.
- Storyboard illustrationsStoryboards exist to find problems before they get expensive.
- Sports illustrationsSports artwork lives or dies on the pose.
- Sticker designsStickers look like the simplest design job and are full of small traps: cut lines that clip the artwork, detail too fine to survive die-cutting, and colours that shift on vinyl.
- Print illustrationsArtwork made for a screen frequently disappoints on paper.
- Freehand artistryVector work is precise, repeatable and often exactly right.
