Desktop publishing & graphic design

APS have operated an in-house desktop publishing and graphic design service since 1995. This has grown from a means to produce leaflets and marketing materials to our own specification, to a fully formed service which provides a wide range of clients with design solutions from books to information panels and from logos to adverts.

We have a successful track record of producing quality products and appreciate the need to create material which is informative, striking and well designed. Quality design can be an essential element in producing a successful advert, book, publication, leaflet or flyer to communicate your message as part of marketing, promotion or publicity or simply to disseminate information.  If your project is of an academic nature we also produce the 'Lincolnshire Archaeology and Heritage Reports Series'.

Whether you wish to provide your own content or leave it up to us, we can cater for your needs. Here are some examples of our work, from Desktop Publishing to Graphic Design:

Interpretative Leaflets:
Lincoln Cathedral

APS was commissioned by Lincoln Cathedral to produce a number of leaflets on the interpretation of different aspects of the cathedral for members of the general public.  The example represented here was a guide to Katherine Swynford’s Medieval Garden.

 

 

Additionally, many of our Publications are also designed and produced in-house.

If you have some archaeological or heritage-related material you’d be interested in professionally publishing, then contact us.  We would be happy to discuss any particular specifications you would require.
