Our UK and USA-based artwork designers help you with everything from simple redrawing assignments to complex figurative projects. We have the expertise and resources to deliver all kinds of work, ranging from simple charts to intricate scientific illustrations.

In a digital-first world, visual content is just as important as the written word. High-quality graphics improve reader engagement and help explain complex ideas. Whether you are an academic publishing company or a trade publisher, our digital content creation services ensure your visuals are accurate, clear, and aesthetically pleasing.

Integration with Publishing Workflows

Our graphics services do not exist in isolation. We integrate our artwork production with the rest of our end to end publishing services to ensure a smooth transition to the layout stage.

Seamless Typesetting Integration

Graphics are designed to work perfectly with our professional book formatting and pagination services.

  • InDesign and LaTeX Compatibility: We provide graphics in the exact formats required for Adobe InDesign or LaTeX workflows.

  • Dynamic Sizing: We ensure that all artwork is created to the specific dimensions of your page layout, preventing distortion or resolution issues during the typesetting phase.

  • Text Flow: We design graphics with clear boundaries to ensure text wraps correctly in your final digital or print output.

Digital-First and Accessible Artwork

Modern publishing requires graphics that work on every screen. Our digital publishing solutions prioritise accessibility and multi-platform compatibility.

  • Accessible Graphics (Alt-Text): We help publishers meet accessibility standards by providing descriptive alt-text for every image. This ensures your content is inclusive for visually impaired readers.

  • Web-Optimised Formats: We provide graphics in formats like SVG and high-resolution PNG for seamless use in eBooks and online journals.

  • Colour Management: We manage colour profiles for both CMYK (print) and RGB (digital) to ensure your artwork looks consistent across all media.

Our Comprehensive Graphics and Artwork Services

We provide a wide range of artwork solutions to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our team handles every project with precision, ensuring that all graphics align with your specific house style and technical requirements.

1. Professional Artwork Redrawing and Standardisation

Professional Artwork Redrawing and Standardisation

Many authors submit sketches or low-resolution images that are not suitable for high-quality print or digital display. Our artwork redrawing services transform these initial drafts into professional, scalable vector graphics.

  • Vectorization: We convert raster images (like JPEGs or scans) into high-quality vector files. This ensures your graphics remain sharp at any size.

  • Style Standardisation: We ensure all graphics within a book or journal follow a consistent style. This includes uniform line weights, font types, and colour palettes.

  • Label Correction: We check and update all text labels within graphics to ensure they match the edited manuscript exactly.

  • Accuracy Checks: Our designers verify that redrawn graphics maintain the integrity of the original data or concept provided by the author.

2. Specialist STEM Publishing Services and Technical Graphics

  • Mathematical Graphics: We produce precise geometric shapes and coordinate graphs that complement our LaTeX typesetting services.
