Resizing an A4 Folder Design into A5 Golf Course Leaflets

Propeller’s Senior Designer created the original A4 folder template, which Sarahjane was tasked with adapting into a series of A5 leaflets.

What is an Artworker?

An Artworker Is the Designer’s Mechanic

A car designer creates the vision, but it’s the mechanic who builds, fine-tunes, and keeps the vehicle running smoothly. The relationship between a graphic designer and an artworker is much the same.

While designers focus on creativity and visual concepts, a professional artworker specialises in production, using Adobe InDesign to its full potential with master pages, paragraph and character styles, tables of contents, GREP where appropriate, and efficient keyboard shortcuts. This expertise makes artworkers faster and more accurate when producing large documents such as catalogues, brochures, reports, tenders, and other complex publications.

An artworker creates clean, well-structured layouts that maintain consistency, follow corporate branding guidelines, and are easy to update when client amendments arrive. By anticipating future changes and organising studio files including images, Word documents, PDFs, and version-controlled artwork projects remain efficient and accessible for the whole team.

Ultimately, an artworker takes care of the technical production, allowing designers to focus on what they do best: creating outstanding design.
