Fine Design for the Fine Arts

McCall Associates specializes in graphic design for the art world. With decades of expertise in editorial design, we produce projects for the most discerning eyes in the business.

With our thorough knowledge of the publishing process, we design books around the client's goals, budget, and the art being presented. We provide detailed management of a book's production: research and recommendations of papers and cloths, review and revisions of color proofs, and direct supervision of printing and binding. From small gallery catalogues to museum books and multivolume catalogue raisonné projects, we give shape to publications of every form and size.

We also create graphic identities, websites, and advertising campaigns, as well as related print and digital ephemera such as announcements, posters, and newsletters. With the same editorial focus that we apply to book design, these projects successfully engage the culturally sophisticated audiences our clients rely on.
