Traditional book publishers have been timid when it comes to working with graphic novels. Why the hesitation? Perhaps it is because the process and presentation is different from what they are used to dealing with. So many pictures! So few words! Where to start?? Who does what?? The important thing to remember is that as with all books, a team is available to make the project the finest it can be.

The pictures and words in a graphic novel are equally important and as such, both should be treated with the same amount of attention and care. Not used to working with images or artists? That’s where your friendly neighbourhood Graphic Designer can lend a hand. Designers have a deep appreciation for the language that is created through the relationship between carefully selected images and minimal text. Our ability to analyze and communicate with other visual thinkers makes Designers valuable assets when it comes to graphic publishing.
