My name is Tim Underwood and I’m a book designer. By this I mean I’m a graphic designer specialising in book layout and production. I have two decades experience working in print and I have a master’s degree in book design from the Department of Typography and Graphic Communication at the University of Reading.
The books I’ve designed vary from biographies through to coffee-table art books, via volumes of poetry and even a cookery book. I’m more than happy to scan and edit photographs if required and as a photographer myself, I understand the power of the image and how to integrate it into the text. When I’m not working I’m usually found behind the lens of a camera, or as a qualified mountain bike guide, riding bikes in remote places.
Design is communication, My aim is to make the design process as simple and as understandable as possible. I’ll work with you to achieve the aesthetic and layout that you’re looking for.
