EDITORIAL PRODUCTION & DESIGN

In recent years we have seen a growing interest from publishers looking to out-source their editorial production recognising the fact that many business to business titles are predominately template driven.

CCM can design and layout editorial pages from supplied images and text documents, or work from existing customer templates, to create final print ready pdfs using QuarkXpress or Adobe InDesign. Our aim is to provide all pages as near to completion as possible to minimise further amendments.

Lewis Business Media uses the above editorial workflow on its newly acquired Wholesale News and Pig World titles, relying on CCM to complete all of the remaining advertisement pages enabling each issue to be delivered in complete press sections.

Another recent project included the design and print of a complete 84 page promotional publication on behalf of Balfour Beatty for a successful multi-million pound construction tender. Our in-house print capability allowed us to quickly provide Balfour Beatty with mock-up editions to give them the look and feel of the final product before committing to a full print run.
