Print & illustration

Print design and illustration you can hold

Posters, editorial pieces, and illustrated objects — designed for paper, ink, and the moments people actually look twice.

Screen-first habits make weak print

Layouts that only work on a glowing rectangle often fall apart on paper: weak hierarchy, soft contrast, no sense of scale. Print needs craft — margins, type that sits, and images that survive ink.

What I provide

  • Poster and campaign print design
  • Editorial and small-publication layouts
  • Illustration for print and brand use
  • Prep for print production (specs, bleeds, colour notes)
  • Coordination with photography when images lead the piece

Who it is for

  • Cultural venues, festivals, and independent publishers
  • Brands that still need physical presence — posters, flyers, booklets
  • Studios looking for a partner who thinks in both pixels and paper

How the process works

  1. Format & message

    Size, print method, and what a stranger should understand in three seconds.

  2. Concept

    Type, image, and illustration directions that fit the brief — not decoration for decoration’s sake.

  3. Design

    Compositions that hold at distance and up close, with production constraints in mind from the start.

  4. Files for press

    Print-ready deliverables and clear notes so the printer (or you) can finish without surprises.

Why work with me

I still care about objects. A poster on a wall or a booklet in a hand has different rules than a feed. That tactile bias shows up in my web and brand work too — hierarchy first, ornament second.

Questions

  • I design and prepare files. Printing is usually with your chosen printer; I can advise on specs and review proofs when helpful.

  • Copy (or a clear outline), any mandatory logos or photography, format and quantity, and how the piece will be used.

  • Yes, when illustration is part of the brief. Style follows the project rather than a single signature look forced onto everything.
