Who we work for

Our publishing experience enables us to produce publications for a wide range of sectors. We tailor the content, design and graphic elements to the needs of businesses, publishers, institutions and museums.

05Method

How we handle each project

We organise the work in stages, with clear planning and continuous follow-up. Our experience in periodicals and long-running partworks enables us to coordinate specialist teams and meet demanding schedules.

  1. 01

    Project plan

    We define the content, format, timetable and budget with you. We set out the stages of work and a single contact person who coordinates the whole process.

  2. 02

    Documentation and texts

    We select authors and specialists according to the subject. We coordinate the research, writing and review of the content, paying particular attention to data and sources.

  3. 03

    Illustration and 3D

    Our team develops the illustrations and 3D renders each publication needs. We also select and manage photographs and other graphic material, taking account of their usage rights.

  4. 04

    Design and layout

    We develop the graphic design and lay out the content, with reviews organised by stage, signature or instalment, depending on the project.

  5. 05

    Languages and printing

    We coordinate translations and adaptations into other languages, proofread the laid-out versions and prepare the final files for printing.

Experience that inspires confidence

  • Experience in periodicals

    We are used to demanding schedules and successive deliveries, while maintaining the editorial and graphic continuity of each publication.

  • Phased review and approval

    We organise the review process into defined stages to facilitate project monitoring and the approval of content before proceeding.

  • Licensed projects

    We have experience with publications subject to official licences, involving processes for the review and approval of content, images and designs by the rights holders.

  • Confidentiality

    We treat each client’s information and materials with discretion and work under confidentiality agreements where the project requires it.
