Fast Forward Your Makeup Book

Monday, July 18th, 2011

FF Your MakeupOn top of other types of projects, Design Workz greatly appreciates the chance to work on book layouts as it not only enables us to improve on our skill set, the book itself will also open our eyes and empower us with more knowledge.

This time, Design Workz had the opportunity to work on “Fast Forward Your Makeup – 10 Steps to Create the Winning Look at Work and at Play”. The comprehensive book on makeup written by an acclaimed aesthetics coach complete with detailed instructions and vibrant images will give even the uninitiated a good introduction to the wonders of makeup.

Design Workz is sure that this book will be useful to many women, and encourages everyone regardless of gender to pick up this book for an informative read.

My Friend-Ships Book

My Friend-Ships

Design Workz is no stranger to book layouts, and when presented with an opportunity to collaborate with a familiar publisher, we leapt at the chance.

The title, “My Friend-Ships” is indeed a clever pun – as the book’s storyline encompasses both ships and friendships. The cheerful illustrative cover is also a good indication of the target audience – children are sure to love the book with its clever explanations about ships that are usually technical and hard to understand, and the accompanying descriptive sketches inside the book make it easier for children to get a clearer picture.

Design Workz is grateful to have been given the opportunity to contribute to the book layout, and encourages everyone to pick up this book for a animated and informative read.

Fly Free Book

Fly Free

On our third time collaboration with Candid Creations Publishing LLP, Design Workz embarked once again on the overall book design and layout for our client. Success is not only made up of repeating tried-and-tested measures, but also in learning something new with each new experience. Hence, it was made sure that the typeface and overall look and feel of the book was suitable to its content. There are also lively illustrations and quotes that make the whole reading experience an easy one.

Unlike the previous two books, the book is written is a light-hearted, narrative manner than recounts the author’s life in detail. It is particularly refreshing as it acts as an self-help book, but can be devoured like a storybook which gives an refreshing perspective, instead of other books which are harder to comprehend.

A quirky combination of psychology, religion, and just general facts about life – this book manages to condense all important lessons and provide direction for those who seek. It has also provided insight to Design Workz, and for that; we are deeply grateful.

Design Workz was immensely gratified when we were approached again by Candid Creation Publishing LLP to work on the design and layout of their client’s book – Coaching In Asia. Of course, we readily acceded to their request as it was a pleasure working with them previously; and we expected this time to be no different.

Interestingly, the book is the combined literary effort of 12 authors, each well qualified with experience and wisdom gained from having lived or worked in Asia for many years. With the multiple perspectives provided, I am sure the reader would be able to find at least one suitable coaching technique that would emerge useful. 

It is evident by now that teamwork is essential in all contexts, and here at Design Workz; we are made up of a team of talented individuals melded together by passion to find out what “Workz” best for our clients. With the varied dynamics present in Design Workz, each individual will be able to tap on their best skills and together – synergy is might.

Design Workz is exceptionally heartened upon the publishing of this particular book as it marks an important milestone in the development of executive coaching in Asia, and we are very honoured to have been able to play a part in the crafting of it.

TLF Cover

Recently, Design Workz had the pleasure of working with a publisher on his client’s book “The Latent Factors”. Design Workz was put in charge of the entire layout and cover design of the book. We are very honoured to be chosen to advise on our expertise, utilize our core services and help out in publication of the book. As said by the author himself, the best business models do not necessarily equate to innovation, but in understanding the customer and what they want.

That said, we worked closely in hand with the publisher to ensure that our end product is not only of satisfaction to them, but will also accurately represent them and help in promotion. The author says that business intelligence can come from anywhere, and picking up this book would be a good start-off point in transforming good ideas into great businesses.

We wish the author and The Latent Factors all the best!
