Corporate magazine design
A corporate magazine is the publication a company sends when a brochure would be too thin and an annual report too narrow. It carries the brand story, the leadership voice, the customer work and the numbers, in one object that people keep.
Most companies have the raw material for one already — case studies, a photo library, a founder who writes. What they do not have is a designer with the time to turn eighty loose assets into a publication. That is the whole of what we do.

Questions we get asked
- We do not have a writer. Can you write it?
- We design; we do not write from scratch. We will edit for length and fit, rewrite headings and captions so they work in the layout, and tell you exactly what copy is missing. If you need original writing, we will say so up front rather than pad the issue.
- Can you match our brand guidelines?
- Yes. Send the guidelines and the fonts you are licensed to use. Where guidelines cover stationery but not editorial — which is most of them — we extend them into a magazine system and show you the reasoning.
- Do we own the files afterwards?
- Yes, outright. There is no platform to stay subscribed to and nothing to log into. You receive the finished PDFs and the cover images to keep.
