The five things a designer needs before the first layout, and what each one costs you in days when it arrives late.
Why the studio deleted a machine-translation proxy, what it cost, and what a hand-written dictionary actually holds.
The six stages the studio runs in a week, laid out day by day, with the decisions that belong to you and the ones that do not.
Bleed, colour mode, resolution, fonts and the one printed proof — what a printer has to settle before they touch your file.
Send the size, the date it is needed and whatever you already have. The studio reads every enquiry itself and replies the day it arrives.
