Natalie Schmidt

Cover and interior layout designer/typesetter. I have over 30 years of experience in a variety of art, design, marketing and publishing environments, primarily working in design for print. For the past 15 years as a freelance designer, I have specialised in independent/freelance design solutions for magazines and publishers of licensed activity books/annuals for children and co-edition illustrated non-fiction books. I can create the layout of covers and internal pages from your brief through to print-ready files using Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. I have worked alongside editors and project managers creating brand licensed children's activity books and annuals for brands belonging to Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Marvel. I have also worked on co-edition illustrated non-fiction books, so I am well aware of how to set up complicated black text files for translation purposes.**Please note that I am a layout designer and not an illustrator. I can use your images in the layout or source some.** Important: © Copyright in all materials and/or works comprising or contained in my portfolio images on this profile remains with the copyright owner(s).
