Copy Writing and Editing

Words are an integral part of most graphic design projects. The Designer Next Door can help make sure your copy is doing its job. Some visually-oriented people lack an aptitude for written communication, but my creative writing background gives me (and you!) an advantage when combining words and images into unified concepts. Whether you're second-guessing a certain phrase or need an entire brochure written from scratch, The Designer Next Door is a valuable resource.

Proofreading

It's not only important to say it well, but to say it correctly. Proofreading can spare you the embarrassment of spelling, grammatical or other errors. The Designer Next Door's policy is to proofread ALL copy unless otherwise requested. I know the difference between an apostrophe and a foot mark, a hyphen and a dash -- and when to use them. (See?)

The Designer Next Door typically refers to the Associated Press Stylebook and Libel Manual's rules for grammar, spelling, punctuation and word usage.
