Books are our first love, but there's more to our story than that.

Posters, brochures, large and small promotional campaigns, print and web advertisements, catalogs, web sites or simply art for web banners—good design, professional production standards, and thoughtful communication make a difference in every project we create.

Testimonials...

Laura’s interior and exterior ideas have been fresh and creative for each of our books. She comes up with fonts and art that are original and inspired by the content. I am consistently impressed by her designs and concepts.  She is a delight to work with and has incredible patience with editing, re-editing and re-editing again. I highly recommend her services. ​--Lisa Hagan, Lisa Hagan Books

Smythtype Design was amazing to work with, creating a beautiful, professional-looking conference program that was easy to read and impressed attendees.  Their work was superlative, despite the challenges of complicated text, tables, and graphics; tight deadlines; and multiple layers of changes.  I highly recommend them and will always use them for future projects. 
​—Kathy Halvorsen, Michigan Technological University
