Not every question needs a full study. Sometimes the series is already agreed, the neighbour is already chosen, and what is missing is a plate a printer can set beside a paragraph.

What is included

One chart or one comparison table, drawn to the size of the page you name, with a caption, a source line, and a footnote if the series breaks. A paper proof is sent before the final file. One round of correction is included, provided the figures themselves do not change.

What is excluded

We do not redraw the plate because a chairperson prefers a different neighbour after seeing the first proof. That is a new commission. We do not decorate the chart with pictorial flourishes that hide the scale. We do not supply a plate without a source line.

Process

You send the series, the page size, and the sentence the plate must support. We return a pencil layout in two working days, then the proof. The final pages follow after your mark-up.

Fee and next step

Smaller plates for an internal pack start lower than a yearbook spread. See fees and name the page size when you write.
