In addition to more than 15 years of book design experience, Dangar Design provides several value-added offerings to make your outsourcing experience a beneficial and enjoyable one:
creativity
Whether we begin the design process from specific guidelines you provide, or simply from general information about the title, Dangar Design offers highly creative design solutions which capture the essence of the book and attract the attention of its target audience.
thoughtful designs
Good design is more than just a striking image and some fancy typography. It speaks to the reader; drawing them into the book and making them want to know more. It reflects not only the subject matter of the work,
but also its tone, feel and mood. Dangar Designs do all of this and more.
error-free work
In addition to providing excellent design, we go a step further to lighten the burden on your editorial department. We know that every good editor will take every opportunity to check and re-check a proof. However, we go to great lengths to make sure everything we send out is letter-perfect; minimizing the necessity for additional corrections.
fast turnaround
Whether your project is due next month or next week, Dangar Design will work with you to meet your deadlines. We are fast and efficient, without compromising quality. Color proofs are generally submitted via
e-mail in .pdf format to further expedite the approval process. Changes can usually be made and a revised proof returned within one day. We will do everything possible to accommodate your schedule.
reliability
We deliver high-quality designs to your specifications and within your time frame. Plus, our extensive experience and long-term working relationships with numerous service bureaus, printers, and book manufacturers—including Thomson-Shore, Maple-Vail, McNaughton & Gunn, Sheridan Books, and Sheffield Press—guarantee smooth interactions and beautiful finished products every time.
pricing
Our rates are extremely competitive and there are no extra or hidden costs for changes or assistance in procuring the perfect piece of artwork or photography for your jacket or cover. We are happy to provide a free project evaluation and cost estimate. All it takes is a phone call or e-mail, and there's no obligation.
Please do keep in mind that offering such valuable services at such reasonable prices keeps us very busy. If you happen to reach our voicemail, please leave a detailed message so that we may return your call promptly and give the same undivided attention to your project.
We would welcome the opportunity to work for you. Please contact us to discuss your design needs.
