Digital Editorial Design

We design and layout ebooks in EPUB and PDF formats, as well as digital magazines and fanzines.

Digital Editorial Design is a discipline within graphic design that focuses on the creation, development and presentation of editorial content on digital platforms. It covers aspects such as visual layout, typography, colors, interactivity and user experience (UX), optimized for electronic devices such as tablets, smartphones and computers.

Key elements of Digital Editorial Design:

  1. Interactivity: Incorporation of elements such as links, videos, animations and buttons that enrich the reader's experience.
  2. Adaptability: Responsive design that adapts to different screen sizes.
  3. Usability: Focus on clear and accessible navigation to ensure comfortable reading.
  4. Digital typography: Choice of fonts and sizes that are legible on screens.
  5. Compatibility: Creation of formats compatible with multiple devices and reading applications.

We design ebooks in EPUB and PDF format

  1. EPUB:

    • It is a standard format for electronic books (eBooks) that allows reflowed content (the text automatically adjusts to the screen size of the device).
    • Compatible with most eBook readers such as Kindle (with certain restrictions), Apple Books and Kobo.
    • Supports multimedia elements (images, audio and video) and interactive options such as links or bookmarks.
  2. PDF:

    • It is a fixed format, where the layout of the content is identical regardless of the device.
    • Ideal for ebooks that prioritize a specific graphic design, such as guides, manuals or illustrated books.

Digital Magazines and Zines
  • Digital Magazines:

    • Periodic publications designed for online distribution, often with multimedia interactivity.
    • For publication on platforms such as Issuu, Joomag, or even through custom applications.
    • The design incorporates elements such as image galleries, animations, and interactive links.
  • Digital Fanzines:

    • They are independent publications generally created by amateurs, with a creative or cultural focus.
    • They tend to have less formal designs and greater visual experimentation.
    • They are distributed in formats such as PDF or through collaborative platforms such as Tumblr or Itch.io.

Digital Editorial Design is essential to create attractive, functional reading experiences that are compatible with current technologies. Its effective implementation combines design tools with a deep understanding of the digital medium.

Our Work

Our digital editorial design process

1

Content planning

  • Define purpose and audience: Establish the goal of the ebook and who it is aimed at.
  • Structure content: Organize chapters, sections, and subtopics logically.
  • Gather materials: Gather text, images, graphics, tables, and other necessary elements.

Preparing the text

  • Editing and proofreading: Reviewing content to ensure clarity, accuracy, and quality.
  • Basic formatting: Breaking text into paragraphs, using headings and subheadings for sections.

Conversion to EPUB format

  • Use specific tools: Programs such as Calibre, Sigil or editors such as Adobe InDesign to export in EPUB.
  • EPUB file structure: We make sure that the EPUB contains the necessary files.

5

Compatibility, Testing and Final Adjustments

  • EPUB file validation: We use tools like EPUBCheck to check for technical errors.
  • Device testing: We review the ebook on different readers (Adobe Digital Editions, Kindle, Apple Books, etc.).

 

  • Bug correction: We fix problems detected in the tests.
  • Image optimization: We reduce the size of the images to minimize the file size.

Publication and distribution

  • Upload to platforms: Publish it in stores such as Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), Apple Books, or Google Play Books.
  • Marketing and promotion: Spread the word about the ebook on social media, websites, and emails to reach your audience.
