Writing & Design
The term ‘writing & design’ covers a broad range of writing services from describing in lay terms what to do in an emergency when flying a helicopter to designing graphics that represent a specific concept, and the difference lies with the expertise in extreme editing and specialize in organizing information from a multitude of sources into a reader-friendly cohesive presentation.
Articles, Reviews & BlogsOne important lesson to learn in life comes from the restaurant industry, which says the best way for a server to sell the Soup of the Day is to sample it and have that taste on their tongue when they talk to patrons. |
As well, curiosity is the writer’s best friend in this world, as there is much to see and learn about, and many angles from which to view things when you have an open mind. Imagine a repertoire that ranges from burlesque to politics to spiritualism to express all of the body appreciation, environmental activism and quantum wisdom that one can experience through thought-provoking wordsmith skills.
Brochures & NewslettersThe main goal in this business is always to make conceptual data reader-friendly no matter the medium, which can either mean letting the white space do the work or alternatively the color harmony. It can sometimes help to have a simple cartoon character or representational figure to connect the reader. |
When it comes to managing mail-outs, Mail Chimp has proven best for professional newsletters over the years with its friendly interface and distribution options that include a free service up to a certain number of respondents, so which makes it also very cost-effective for small businesses.
Creative, Poetry & StorytellingThe creative non-fiction genre is probably the easiest to write, because it’s about real life, observations and opinions that can be presented in an entertaining way to share enthusiasm with others…even when it seems mundane. |
Instructional & ReferenceTechnical writing skills can go beyond the ordinary and no textbook comes close to revealing the secrets to extreme editing that we’ve been taught. With years of designing field guides in a specialized infoflip format that is of a very structured and limited print size, we know how to optimize for minimal space.

When it comes to safety on the job the worker needs the meat without the fat of verbiage on any written instruction. One of the best ways to show clear and concise instruction is to use tables, flowcharts, and colour-coding wherever possible for quick and easy access, especially for emergency situations.
