Andy Meaden – Designer

I’m a graphic designer, with over 25 years experience who specialises in book design. I spent 15 years designing covers and text designs for science, medical and academic titles for Oxford University Press, between 1995 and 2010. Since July 2010, I've continued to independently design book covers and text designs for companies such as Wiley-Blackwell, Cambridge University Press, The National Trust, Routledge Taylor-Francis, The Lancet, Radcliffe Medical Press, Polity Press, MacKeith Press and Hans Reitzels Forlag, based in Denmark. As well as publishing, I also design business logos and associated branding, websites, marketing materials and large scale conference materials.I can turn around cover and text designs on a tight timescale and always to budget. I like to work closely with authors in order to achieve the results they are after.I've designed covers for all manners of subjects over the years from Agriculture, Art, Business, Economics, Computers and IT, Education, Engineering, Children's Cooking, Fashion, Finance, Health and Sports, History, Law, Maths, Music, Nature, Philosophy, Biographies, Technology, Environment, Culture, Politics and Transport.Some comments from clients I've worked with:'I have worked with Andy on a number of projects in a variety of contexts, from publishing, product branding to corporate promotional materials. He is always flexible and willing to put that extra effort in no matter what challenges I put to him. His work is consistently good and always easy to approach. I have full confidence in recommending him.' (Angela Francis, Freelance Social Media and Marketing Consultant)'Andy is a great designer and I worked with him on numerous cover designs for medical books.
