IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM
Museum publications must be entertaining, up to date, perceived value for money and an integral part of a visit to the museum.
Over ten years' experience of working with the Imperial War Museum means an instinctive grasp of what is required, an ability to pre-empt problems, and a sensitivity to the needs of such an outstanding institution.
Guides, catalogues and handbooks inevitably require tight schedules where the co-ordination of text, pictures, editing and design demands experienced project control.

Public expectation today of a catalogue or handbook is of a stand-alone guide that can serve as a memento of the visit, absorb the reader and compete in price with a vast range of merchandise offered in competition.

Whether the guide is for an international exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum, a gallery in Bond Street or a mass-market W H Smith own-brand book on Ireland, the fundamental requirements are the same as for the Imperial War Museum. Perceptive editing of an involving text, a design that is conscious of being innovative without overwhelming the subject and the possible production values.
