Your report is ready to be published. But there’s one small thing you can add to get it noticed. Things move slowly, then quickly. The project you’ve been working on for two years now needs to be put out there, its results shared with the world. Finally, the time has come: the paper is to be published! But it was supposed to be available, like, yesterday. You’ve been tinkering with the text document. Changed the headlines, moved some footnotes around. Rewritten the introduction 12 times. Started adding in some colours. It looks alright, but could do with some touch-up. Alas, there’s no time for design. I understand. We can’t start designing this 80-page report now and put it on the website in an hour. We’ll make sure to plan for design work next time. However, here’s what a publication designer can do in a very short time: Wrap your document in an appealing cover. You’ll export your document as it is, but the designer can make a 1, 2, or 4-page cover that envelops the document, turning it from bland to striking. This way, the work will get noticed. It will invite readers into the text and create a mood for the work. The cover can then be used in social media posts, shared in e-mails, put on posters and shared anywhere. It’s simple, quick and very effective. Cover design is not mere decoration; it’s an invitation to the reader that will be well worth the investment. If you’re looking to elevate your next report or paper with an appealing cover, let’s talk

I'm Sarah from India. I'm an aspiring writer and I'm trying to learn as much as I can while getting into the writing field. So happy to be here! ⭐⭐ P S, my preferred typeface is TimesNewRoman or Georgia

Hello, I'm Erick, a graphic designer from California living in Italy. I've been a graphic designer for about 10+ years. Let's break that down: I started as a novice graphic designer in high school, a few months before graduating high school I started a freelance business and worked as a freelance designer and video editor. Went to school for Graphic Design, received a degree in 2018, and now I'm working for a start-up where I've been working as the creative director for about 5 years. My favorite font is Hitchcock, which is reminiscent of the golden age of film era when Saul Bass, my favorite graphic designer, was in his prime. My favorite typeface is a trickier answer, but Futura/Helvetica are some of my favorites.

I'm Wesley. I have a longstanding love-affair with books, but less with type, so I thought I'd join you to see if I could get some education on the topic. My favourite font is Papyrus. I would never use it, but there's something that resonates deeply with me. The writing I self-publish is all written in Markdown, translated to LaTeX and then compiled. Purists will probably be horrified, but I find it easy to get above average results with very close to no time spent on formatting.

I am Cleveland Sparrow from D.C USA and am glad to have joined this community. I haven't found my favorite typeface yet per say, however I am looking forward to learning more and finding one. I'll share an update when that moment happens haha. I have experience as a graphic designer and web developer. I've always been interested in the development of characters and create fonts or comic elements. This community really sparked my interest, and look forward to seeing it grow.
