• Restoration of dithered lines for improved vectors of poor-quality images
• Raster clean-up options like collapsing multi-page pictures, into a single layout

Cover Design

Modern publishing has rendered the old adage "Don't judge a book by its cover!" meaningless. A well-designed cover will improve impulse purchases and increase sales through retail channels.

Our graphic design team studies the content thoroughly to understand the key theme/concept of the book, and develops cover templates. Then the cover page design follows 4 distinct stages:

• Understanding the central theme/concept of the book
• Developing multiple templates using our creative team; fine-tuned with feedback/suggestions from the author
• Get final approval with a template
• Develop the final design

Imaging

Applying a range of image conversion tools / workflow processes and industry-leading imaging applications, we offer a wide variety of imaging services and solutions.

• Scan source documents to electronic image forms (Slides, Tiff, PDF, JPEG, Positives, 16mm/35mm Roll Film and Microfiche)
• Scan and generate high-quality and properly formatted outputs
• Preserve sequence between physical page numbers, image keys within multi-page documents
• Enhancements with proprietary imaging tools

Photo Manipulation & Permission Research

If your project requires incorporating images to support the content, our graphic experts can search through many photo and image archives to locate the perfect images. We can also research copyright issues and secure permission for use. This service can save you valuable time, besides assuring you of content-specific images and copyright compliance.
