FAQs
What services do you offer?
North Type specialises in publication and report design, editorial layout, infographics, illustration and poster design. I also take on smaller one-off jobs, from flyers and one-pagers to existing artwork that needs a proper tidy-up.
1
How do I get started?
Head to the Start a Job page and send through what you know so far. You don’t need a perfect brief. I’ll come back with any questions, then provide a clear quote and timeline before work begins.
2
What makes you different?
North Type is deliberately small, so you deal directly with the person designing the work. I’m particularly good at taking dense, information-heavy content and turning it into something clear, considered and genuinely easy to read.
3
How can I contact you?
You can reach me through the Start a Job page or by email. I usually reply within 1–2 business days.

Do you take small jobs?
Absolutely. Not every project needs to be a 60-page report. Posters, flyers, one-pagers, small brochures and existing artwork that needs rescuing are all welcome.
5
How much does a project cost?
Most North Type work is quoted as a fixed project fee based on the scope, page count and level of design involved. Once I’ve seen the brief, I’ll give you a clear price before anything starts, so there are no surprises later.
6
How many revisions are included?
Most projects include two rounds of revisions. If anything falls outside the agreed scope or needs additional rounds, I’ll flag it with you before doing any extra work.
7
Ideally, final copy, images, logos and any existing brand guidelines. If you’re not quite there yet, that’s fine too. Send through what you have and I can let you know what’s missing before we begin.
8
What do you need from me before we start?
Yes. I can work within an established brand system, refresh an existing visual direction, or create a simple design language for a publication that needs its own feel while still sitting comfortably within your organisation.
9
Can you work with our existing branding?
What files will I receive?
10
That depends on the project, but usually you’ll receive a final digital PDF and, where required, print-ready files prepared to general industry standards or supplied printer specifications. Printer liaison isn’t included as standard, but can be arranged separately if needed.
Do you offer ongoing design support?
11
Yes. If you publish regularly or need design support throughout the year, I’m happy to discuss an ongoing arrangement rather than quoting every small job from scratch.
Where are you based?
12
North Type is based in Sydney, NSW, and works with clients across Australia. Most projects can be managed easily by email, with calls arranged when useful.
