Book & Magazine Design

We design book covers, lay out book interiors for print and digital publishing, and design magazines, booklets, guides and annual reports for authors, companies and organisations. You receive print-ready files with the right size and margins, plus a PDF for digital publishing.

We are based in Muscat with a branch in Sharjah, and we serve clients in the Gulf, Egypt and around the world.

What we design

Books

• Cover design: front, back and spine, with an idea that reflects the content and catches the reader's eye in a bookshop and online.
• Interior layout: fonts, headings, chapters, margins, footnotes, page numbers and the table of contents.
• E-books: a screen-friendly PDF with a clickable table of contents.
• Children's books, illustrated books, and academic books with tables and figures.

Magazines and newsletters

• A magazine identity and a consistent template for its issues.
• Layout of each issue with articles, photos and ads.
• Regular newsletters for companies and organisations.

Booklets, guides and reports

• Service and product booklets.
• Employee handbooks, policies and procedures.
• Annual and achievement reports with charts and infographics.
• Conference, event and programme booklets.

Company profiles have their own page: company profile design.

Why professional book design?

• The cover is the first thing a reader judges a book by, before reading a single line.
• A comfortable layout makes reading easier, especially for long Arabic text.
• A correctly prepared file saves you printing mistakes and the cost of reprinting: trimmed edges, low-resolution images and colour shifts.

What you receive

• A print-ready PDF with the right size, margins and bleed.
• A PDF for digital publishing.
• The cover at print size, and in sizes for the web and online bookstores.
• Source files, when agreed.

We use Adobe InDesign for book and magazine layout, and Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for covers and graphics.

How we work

1. You send the content in a Word file, with the images and the book size you want.
2. We propose a cover idea and a two-page interior sample so you can approve the style.
3. We lay out the whole book and send it for your review.
4. We make changes based on your feedback.
5. We deliver the final files and liaise with the printer if needed.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with clients outside Oman?

Yes. We are based in Muscat with a branch in Sharjah, and we work remotely with clients in the Gulf, Egypt and around the world: meetings, reviews and delivery all happen online and on WhatsApp.

How much does book design cost?

It depends on the page count, whether you need a cover only or a full layout, and the number of images and tables. Send us the page count and type of book on WhatsApp and we will send you a quote.

Do you design covers only?

Yes. We can design just the cover if the interior layout is ready.

Do you proofread the text?

Design does not include proofreading. We recommend proofreading before layout, because many changes afterwards take longer.

Will the files suit printers?

Yes. We prepare the file to the requirements of the printer you choose, and can check size and paper with them if you like.
