Our services include:
Cover Design
Let's face it—everyone judges a book by its cover, so why not have a book jacket or magazine cover that achieves results? An MAPG cover will make your title the standout it deserves to be. Have a look at some of the great covers we have designed in the our work area.
Text Design
Verso, recto, title page, contents, chapter opener, body copy, head and subhead—MAPG knows how books are read and, more importantly, what works and what doesn't. We understand what it takes to get it right. We can give you designed and styled templates, or we can take your publication through to typesetting and layout.
Typesetting & Layout
From first designed pages to print-ready files, your book will be in the hands of the best typesetters and finishing artists available. We work on the simplest children's readers through to the most complex medical textbooks. We know that attention to detail makes all the difference, whether we are working from our own text design or yours.
Editorial Services
Our pool of in-house proofreaders and editors is ready with a light proofread or to style a manuscript from scratch. Checking your manuscript's language, grammar and structure ensures a consistent and readable style.
Photography & Illustration
We work with some amazingly creative people—illustrators, photographers and even a sculptor! They are our collaborative partners in the process of bringing your title alive. We will match your needs and requirements to a professional illustrator or photographer, to achieve your desired outcome.
Writing & Journalism
From a caption to a column to an entire book, we can help. Editorial skill and experience are essential if a book is to be readable, relevant and informative. We employ professional writers and journalists to get professional results, at any stage of the editorial process.
Pre-press and Print Management
We are highly experienced at providing print-ready files to your printer or helping you find a printer. MAPG works with the latest software and hardware to ensure that all artwork files are compatible and hassle free. Our team is highly versed with the entire Adobe suite of products, which assures the right pre-press outcomes.
INSPIRATION
Design is in everything we make, but it’s also between those things. It’s a mix of craft, science, storytelling, propaganda, and philosophy.
