Graphic design and illustration: Using the text and images you've supplied on disc or via email - we'll produce an appropriate design, supply a proof, amend and refine the design incorporating any reasonable amendments free of charge, produce 'print-ready' artwork and supply you with a final proof for approval prior to printing.
