Neil Brideau – Designer

As a designer, cartoonist, editor & publisher, I have 20+ years experience preparing publications for print! Let's make your book a reality!

Overview

Preparing a book for print can feel scary! You've put so much work into the content, and you want the final product to feel right. You won't know exactly what it looks or feels like until it's in your hands! I can help.

I started off self-publishing comics and zines over 20 years ago, and have since prepared several books, comics, and zines for publication.

I have an eagle-eye for detail, and a commitment to projects I take on. I'm excited by the challenge of helping you turn your vision for your book into a real object. I will be there until your final files are with the printer.

I am proficient in InDesign and other Adobe products, and have communicated with many printers in the United States, Canada, and overseas. My experience is primarily with comics and graphic novels, but I enjoy laying out text-based publications as well!
