FAQ
What is your experience in the comic industry?
I have managed the editorial design and layout for the Dragonero series at Sergio Bonelli Editore and led the art direction for CMON Comics, overseeing the entire graphic production process.
What software do you use for the layout?
I primarily use Adobe InDesign for professional typesetting, combined with Photoshop and Illustrator for advanced image processing and graphic assets.
Do you provide print-ready files?
Yes. I deliver all layouts in high-resolution (300 DPI) CMYK formats with proper bleed and margin settings, ensuring they are 100% ready for professional printing.
Can you work from a rough manuscript?
I require a final edited version of your text. While I oversee the entire graphic production process to publication standards, I do not provide content editing or ghostwriting services.
Do you design promotional materials for the book launch?
Yes, I can create official merchandising, flyers, and social media assets to ensure visual consistency for your brand, as I have done for international events like CMON Expo.
Can you provide 3D mockups for social media?
Yes, I can provide static 3D mockups to showcase your book or comic. To ensure the best focus on quality, this is limited to a maximum of 3 different views/assets. For larger sets of social media posts or specific marketing campaigns, we can discuss a custom offer.
