Case Study — Publication Design & Print Production
End-to-end production of a 52-page English and Urdu magazine — distributed nationwide to 3,000 readers, every two months, issue after issue.
The Brief
Producing a bilingual publication is considerably more complex than a standard magazine. Two language editions must coexist within a single design system — each with its own typographic requirements, reading direction and editorial content — while the publication as a whole maintains a consistent, professional standard throughout.
The client needed a reliable creative partner to manage the full production cycle, issue after issue — from content coordination and layout through to print management and distribution. Not a one-off project, but an ongoing commitment to quality every two months.
The Approach
The English edition was designed and laid out in full — cover, editorial spreads, photography placement and typographic hierarchy — creating a publication that could sit alongside any professional national magazine.
Alongside this, artwork management and pre-press preparation for the Urdu edition was handled to the same standard, ensuring both language versions were print-ready and visually coherent before going to press.
The challenge of a recurring publication is not producing the first issue well — it's maintaining that standard consistently. Every bi-monthly cycle was managed with the same level of care as the first, with editorial deadlines, supplier liaison and distribution handled as a complete package.
How it worked
Coordinated editorial contributions, photography and written content from multiple sources within the organisation.
Full design and layout of the English edition — cover through to final page — with consistent typographic standards throughout.
Artwork preparation and pre-press checks across both editions. All files supplied print-ready to correct specifications.
