Outsourcing Your Magazine Layout Design

Why it makes sense to let Design Wizards handle your magazine layouts...

 

If you've got an existing magazine publication or a new business magazine, one of your first choices is how you're going to handle layouts. Is this something you plan to do IN HOUSE, or are you planning on outsourcing ? These are all logical questions you must ask yourself. But the biggest hurdle to outsourcing is COST. Sure you can save a bundle going overseas, but will the language barrier cause an issue with your layouts? This is a very common problem magazine companies are facing today.

If you plan on outsourcing, you do have A LOT of options. But the key to a quality magazine layout is
consistency , every issue, every page, every time. The best magazine layout designers work as a TEAM, allowing each team member to play to his or her strengths. And you need to outsource to a magazine design company that will be around in the future. NOBODY wants to switch designers mid-issue, and that can happen if you choose individuals. And can you trust a deadline with an overseas company???

The good news, is that you DO have options for
magazine layout design in the United States ...and without breaking the bank. Welcome to Design Wizards. We've got over 20 years in the print layout industry, and we're based in the United States (good old North Dakota, actually). The reason we've got over 225 publications each year under our belt is TRUST . Our team does not compromise on quality, and we see the magazine through from layout to print. From cover design to body text, we do it all!

The reason we can compete with overseas is our pricing...and we're affordable on any publication's budget. Not only will we meet deadlines, every time, but with a finished product that you'll be proud of!

So if you're looking into magazine design companies, then you owe it to yourself to give the
Design Wizards a call. We'll provide a FREE QUOTE and in a timely fashion. So what are you waiting for?
