Magazines & Catalogs

Pages people actually flip through.

Community and company magazines, newsletters with real heft, product catalogs, line cards, and price books — laid out so every page is easy to read and easy to find your way around, then delivered print-ready with a PDF for email and your website.

A magazine or catalog is a system, not a single page: the same fonts, grids, and page styles carry from the cover to the back, so readers always know where they are and products are easy to compare. I set up that system first, then flow in your articles, photos, products, and prices. Many businesses refresh a catalog every year or publish a magazine every season, so the files are kept on hand and updates only cost the pages that change.

Printed magazines and catalogs open on a wooden desk: a magazine spread of feature stories with food photography, a fashion article, and a product catalog with a clean grid of items and prices, beside a stack of magazine covers

Common questions

How much does magazine or catalog design cost?

Magazine design, 16 pages (cover + 15 inside pages): $600; catalog design, 8 pages (cover + 7 inside pages): $300; each additional page: +$35; product photo cleanup (background removal, color), per photo: +$5, plus printing. Printing is quoted by quantity, size, and paper once the page count is set.

Why do page counts come in multiples of 4?

Stapled and folded publications are printed on sheets that each hold 4 pages, so the total is always 8, 12, 16, 20, and so on. If your content lands in between, I'll suggest how to fill or trim it.

Can you update my catalog or magazine for the next issue?

Yes. The design files are kept on hand, so the next issue or a yearly price update reuses the same layout, and you only pay for the pages that change.

Do I need to provide the photos and writing?

You provide the articles, product details, and photos, and I handle the layout. Phone photos are fine for products: I can clean them up, remove backgrounds, and even out the color. Help tightening the copy is available too.

Can I get a digital version too?

Yes. Every magazine and catalog comes with a PDF sized for email and your website, alongside the print-ready files.
