Editorial Design
Texts Have Meaning,
Books Have Soul
Making statements. We bring your content and our expertise together to create compelling new publications. We give your stories, ideas and values an effective format. With over 1000 publications already realized, we know the subtle nuances that make the difference. Through eye-catching covers, coherent design and an appealing feel, we invite your target audience to get excited about your work.
Publications
We design coherent publications and support you from the initial idea through to punctual delivery. Whether as a complete package or through individual partial services.
For us, design means understanding. We immerse ourselves in the projects and find an authentic solution tailored to your target audience and individual requirements. Simple or elaborate, museum-like or playful, discreet, or impressive – we draw from a large repertoire of design melodies and can use them effortlessly. With an understanding of rhythm, information hierarchy and emotion, we create arcs of suspense and support your message. Our credo is: not too quiet, not too loud; timeless and modern without being fashionable.
We pay particular attention to the precision of details in the design. We attach great importance to haptics and materiality, typesetting quality and fine typography as well as excellent repro and print results. Efficiency and accuracy go hand in hand in our well-coordinated workflow and are accompanied by comprehensive quality control.
We work with a large network of proven service partners and routinely coordinate a large number of authors, editors and proofreaders. Additionally, we conduct photo shoots and image research or take on the entire image editing process. Our central project management team always keeps a close eye on your timelines and budget plans.

Cover design
We create eye-catching covers that lend identity and develop scalable concepts for series of titles.
You can judge us by our covers. With authentic design and subtlety, we create covers that not only arouse emotions, but also effectively convey content.. From portraits, multi-pictures and running gags to typography and illustration – with inspiration and great ingenuity, we stage a variety of topics for you. Focused on your target audience, we design the right approach, minimalist and reduced or detailed and complex. We juggle with design principles and trends, with creative image ideas and compositions.
This applies to both individual titles and your cover series. With well thought-out design systems and imagery, we develop a common thread, a uniform visual concept that shapes an independent character and strengthens brand recognition.
We support you in giving your work a visual identity, arousing the interest of your customers and positioning yourself on the market in the long term.
