A studio service
One collection, one visual system.
Flashcard decks, classroom posters, activity booklets, bookmarks and sticker sheets — designed as a set rather than a pile of separate files. Same character logic, same type scale, same margins, so the collection reads as one product line on a shelf and prints correctly on the first run.
N° 01The formats
Every piece in the same family.
A collection fails when each piece was designed on its own — the poster uses a heavier weight than the cards, the booklet margins are tighter, the stickers were sized last. These are built from one set of rules.
01
Flashcards & card decks
Front and back templates, consistent bleed on every card, rounded-corner safe zones, and a back design that works whichever way the deck is shuffled.
02
Posters
Sized to standard classroom formats and checked at the distance they are actually read from — legible across a room, not just on screen.
03
Activity & colouring booklets
Interior spreads with the gutter accounted for, line weights that survive a photocopier, and page counts that work in multiples of four for saddle stitch.
04
Bookmarks
Narrow formats where the trim tolerance matters most; artwork positioned so a 2mm shift never clips a face or a word.
05
Sticker sheets
Kiss-cut layouts with the cut line supplied as its own path, spacing that survives a real cutter, and no artwork crossing a cut.
06
The system underneath
One type scale, one colour set, one icon language, one spacing rhythm — documented, so the next twenty pieces still match.
N° 02Working from what exists
We extend your system. We don't replace it.
Most briefs of this kind arrive with real work already done — characters drawn, content written, categories decided, first drafts built. The job is rarely to start again. It is to find the rules already implicit in that work, make them explicit and consistent, and carry them across every remaining piece without the collection losing what made it yours.
N° 03Made to print
Bleed, trim, and the 2mm that ruins it.
Children's products are printed on real presses with real tolerances, and most files that arrive at a printer are not ready. Every deliverable leaves here at 300 DPI with bleed on all four edges, trim and safe areas marked, CMYK where the printer asks for it, fonts outlined or supplied, and a spec sheet listing dimensions, colours, typefaces and the licence covering any third-party asset used.
01
Editable templates
Canva files set up so a non-designer can add the next card without breaking the grid — locked layers, defined styles, real placeholders.
02
Print-ready PDFs
One press-ready file per product, bleed and marks included, checked before it goes anywhere near a quote.
03
Individual assets
High-resolution PNG or JPG per piece where you need them for listings, social, or a print-on-demand upload.
04
A spec sheet
Fonts, colour values, dimensions, and every third-party asset with its licence — so nothing about the collection lives only in someone's head.
N° 04Peek inside
A collection, piece by piece.
Examples produced to show format, system and print set-up — flashcards, poster, activity spread, bookmarks and stickers built to one set of rules.
N° 05Questions
The answers we give most often.
- I already have characters and artwork. Will you redraw everything?
- No, and we would usually advise against it. If the characters and content exist, the work is to build a consistent system around them — type, colour, spacing, hierarchy, format set-up — and extend it across the remaining pieces. Redrawing is a separate decision, taken deliberately, not a side effect of hiring a designer.
- Do you deliver editable Canva files?
- Yes, and set up properly: styles defined, layers locked where they should be, real placeholders rather than pasted text, so someone can add the next card or poster without the grid falling apart. Print-ready PDFs and individual high-resolution images come alongside them.
- How do I know this is design and not just arranging things in Canva?
- The difference shows in the parts nobody sees in a preview: a type scale that holds across five formats, optical spacing rather than equal spacing, artwork positioned for real trim tolerance, cut lines supplied as their own path, and a documented spec sheet. Ask for the spec sheet from any designer — it is the fastest way to tell the two apart.
- Is the collection ready for commercial printing?
- That is the delivery standard: 300 DPI, bleed on all four edges, trim and safe areas marked, CMYK on request, fonts outlined or supplied, and dimensions confirmed against your printer's own template before final files are cut.
- Who actually does the work?
- The studio, directly. If any part of a project would be handled by someone else, we say so before it starts and name who.
- Can you do a small paid sample first?
- Yes. A single flashcard front and back, or one poster, is usually enough to judge system thinking, type and print set-up — and it is a fair way for both sides to test the working relationship before a full collection.
