Publication Design

I design books, exhibition catalogs, and printed publications with clarity, balance, and long-term permanence. My work combines typographic mastery with disciplined layout systems developed across major museum and gallery projects.

Summary

Publication design shapes how content is read, understood, and preserved.

I have designed thousands of pages across exhibition catalogs, books, and institutional publications for museums, galleries, and publishers. Each project is treated as a lasting object, with careful attention to typographic rhythm, pacing, and production integrity.

My work balances visual restraint with narrative clarity, ensuring publications remain readable, authoritative, and timeless across both print and digital formats.

Service Overview

I design books, exhibition catalogs, reports, and printed editions with clarity, balance, and precision. My work combines typographic mastery with narrative rhythm — building layouts that feel alive, organized, and timeless.

Across thousands of pages and numerous major projects for galleries, museums, and publishers, I’ve developed a deep sensitivity to how design shapes reading. Every publication is treated as an object of permanence — a work that communicates both content and care.

Elegant, Functional Layouts

My background in fine art and typographic systems ensures every spread feels deliberate. I design around pacing, visual hierarchy, and negative space to make reading effortless and memorable.

Each element — from caption to margin — contributes to the flow of thought rather than distraction.

Project Management & Production

I manage publication projects from concept to delivery, coordinating every step from manuscript to print. My experience with color profiles, materials, and production workflows ensures accuracy and consistency across editions.

Whether producing a one-off monograph or a 300-page catalog, the process keeps design, content, and logistics aligned.

Fine Art Publications

A major portion of my work focuses on fine art and exhibition catalogs.

These projects require sensitivity — the design must support the artwork without overshadowing it. I have collaborated with leading galleries and museums across the United States, designing publications for artists such as Mary Cassatt, John Singer Sargent, and Pablo Picasso.

My experience also extends to academic and nonprofit institutions, where designs can be adapted to meet budget constraints without compromising quality.

Comprehensive Publishing Services

I design publications of all kinds. Every project receives the same level of technical care and typographic refinement, regardless of scale or purpose.Common publication types include:

  • Exhibition and gallery catalogs
  • Corporate and institutional reports
  • Magazines, newsletters, and annuals
  • Educational and reference materials
  • Product guides and sales presentations

Digital & Hybrid Editions

I also design publications for digital distribution — including PDF, EPUB, and integrated web-based formats. These editions preserve the integrity of the layout while allowing flexible, accessible delivery.

Whether print, digital, or hybrid, the same standards of consistency and precision are maintained across all formats.

Technical Expertise

I maintain complete control over production files, ensuring fidelity from screen to print. Layouts are prepared with precise alignment, calibrated color management, and output profiles tailored for major printing houses.

I can provide comprehensive print-ready packages or manage prepress directly to guarantee accurate, professional reproduction.

Colors in the Sky

Colors in the Sky is my visual arts and design studio — the umbrella for my work across art, design, layout, and modern presentation, including the growing convergence of visual culture and technology.I’ve worked extensively with top-tier museums and galleries across the United States, contributing to projects involving artists such as Mary Cassatt, John Singer Sargent, and Pablo Picasso. My production experience includes over 10,000 pages of book and exhibition layouts for leading publishers, distributed internationally.

Alongside this institutional work, I maintain a hands-on practice as an illustrator and concept artist, and as a web developer delivering close to one hundred professional websites for businesses, cultural organizations, and public institutions. The studio reflects a commitment to visual clarity, production rigor, and designs that hold up under real-world constraints.
