Publication identity and page systems
A repeatable visual system, not a different design on every page. Masthead or logo, editorial grid, typography, section openers, department templates, cover direction and sample spreads.
Print & Editorial
Print & Editorial Design for the Adult Industry
Adult magazines, catalogs, buyer guides, event programs, special editions and product lookbooks — from visual system and page design through press-ready production.
Design to press
From publication system to press-ready files.
AdultDesign can establish the publication design, lay out the complete issue and prepare final files for print.
Scope can begin with a masthead, cover or prepress audit, or extend across grids, templates, complete issues, catalogs, image preparation and printer-proof corrections. Every quote is based on the page map, asset condition and production specification.
View the flagship magazine case ↗Complete issue and catalog production
Structured long-form design for publications that must present products clearly, support sales and remain easy to navigate. Complete issues, catalogs, buyer guides, programs, special editions and product lookbooks.
Image preparation and production
Resolution and color checks, basic image preparation, clipping and cleanup when included in the project, CMYK conversion, bleed and safe-area control, ad placement and packaged working files.
Prepress and printer handoff
Preflight, technical correction, press-ready PDF, printer specification checks and one technical correction cycle after printer feedback within the agreed scope.
Process
A clear path from page map to press.
Each step reflects the publication, assets, stakeholders and production specification.
Scope the publication: page count, trim, binding, printer specification, deadline and decision-makers.
Audit the assets: copy status, image quality, product data, advertising, pagination and licensing responsibility.
Set the system: masthead/refinement, grid, type hierarchy, departments, cover direction and sample pages.
Build and proof: layout from supplied final content with consolidated review rounds.
Prepare for press: CMYK, bleed, resolution, fonts, links, preflight and press-ready PDF.
Close the loop: correct printer-proof issues within the approved specification and deliver final files.
Planning bands
Pricing based on page count, content and production requirements.
Final page count, publication design requirements, page types, content readiness, image work, languages and printer handoff determine the quote.
