Layout/design inside pages and cover

For years you have worked on your PhD thesis. The end is in sight and that also means that there is a very busy period ahead. Not a period where you want to worry about the design of your dissertation. We can also help you in this phase.

 

We have an internal design department, which makes the lines shorter and faster. We would like to discuss the options with you.

Inside Pages

For designing the inside pages of your dissertation, we offer three options.

  1. Design via grids (basic);
  2. Design according to your own needs and wishes (advanced);
  3. Design help

Both layout packages, basic and advanced, include a cover design.

1. Design via grids

The firs option is the regular design by predetermined grids. We design your dissertation according to a chosen grid. Then you still have one correction round to put the finishing touches on the design and make it as desired. Curious about the grids? Take a look at the grids below.

2. Design according to your own needs and wishes

Of course you can also choose for your own design. We are happy to talk with you about your wishes and requirements to adjust the design according to your needs.

In this package, the layout of the PhD thesis can be completed according to your wishes. The document is formatted according to the delivered document. After the design of the first chapter, there will be one correction round in which eventually changes can be made. After the entire design there follows another correction round. You are always welcome to discuss the layout with us.

3. Design help

Finally, we have the option of design help. This means that you do the design all by yourself and let us make the final touch.
