Full-Service Editorial and Production

KnowledgeWorks Global Ltd. provides the solutions and services magazine publishers need to navigate the rapidly-changing media landscape and provide timely content, balancing both print and digital, while dealing with dwindling advertising revenue and subscriptions. We provide a range of services for both print and digital production, working with media organizations to manage brand consistency.

Creative Services

• high-resolution color scanning

• color correction of photos

• image redrawing, relabeling, resizing

Design and Composition

Implementing an XML-based or InDesign workflow, we provide creative layout design as well as automated batch composition based on your requirements. Once composed, we employ a web-enabled system to mark corrections on PDFs, allowing multiple reviewers to  mark and submit corrections to the same file. Annotations are collated by the system for review by the project manager. Once approved, the master copy is sent to composition for correction.

Mobile and Digital Publication

Digital editions continue to gain traction but are not yet keeping pace with a magazine's print circulation. Online ad revenue increases but web-only advertisements have yet to supersede the revenue generated from the combined print and digital model. It's imperative to provide an online version that engages readers across devices. We help navigate this intricate landscape.

• on any mobile device as a native application

• via a web browser on any device connected online
