How long does it take to design a magazine?

Flying Studios delivers a first draft within 48 hours of kickoff. A full publication typically takes 2–4 weeks from brief to print-ready files, depending on page count and revision rounds. Rush turnarounds are available for tight editorial deadlines.

Do you design magazines in Adobe InDesign?

Yes. All publication design work at Flying Studios is produced in Adobe InDesign and delivered as print-ready PDF/X files with correct bleed, crop marks, and CMYK colour profiles. Digital editions can be produced from the same source files.

Do you work with clients outside the UK?

Yes. Flying Studios works remotely with publishers, brands and agencies across the UK and internationally. All project communication is handled digitally.

Can you match our existing brand guidelines?

Yes. Flying Studios works within your existing brand guidelines, typefaces and colour palette. For new titles without guidelines, a full design system can be developed as part of the project.

What file formats do you deliver?

Flying Studios delivers print-ready PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4 files configured to your printer's specification - with correct bleed, crop marks, CMYK colour profiles and all fonts embedded. Native InDesign files and packaged assets can also be supplied on request.
