Design Services for Writers...
...Who Would Rather Spend Their Time Writing!
Sometimes it can suck being a writer. You need to have a website, and wouldn't it be nice to have some kind of custom header? Oh, and everyone has a "book trailer" now to advertise their novel, so maybe you should learn something about video editing... And you've been dying to self-publish your own book through Lulu but you can't get the page size right and just forget trying to have custom fonts in your interior! You can't help but wish you had a custom book cover too...
Book covers, book trailers, interior layout...I'm a Jill of All Trades. First and foremost I'm a writer, though, and I know how frustrating it can be when you find yourself having to fill the shoes of a graphic designer when all you want is to just write.
That's where I can help YOU.
On these pages, you'll find samples of some of my work, as well as information on fees. Granted, this section of my site is more of a temporary thing while I get a new design site up and running, so if you have a question about something you don't see here, drop me an email at skyladawncameron@yahoo.ca Check below for some testimonials!

Testimonials
"Skyla's videos are dynamic, snappy, and eye-catching--exactly what is
needed to capture the attention of potential readers. The music and
images are edited together perfectly to make a professional
presentation. I love them!"
Elaine Corvidae, Author
"There were three reasons I asked Skyla Dawn Cameron to join the Ontario Writers' Conference organizing committee: first, she is a gifted designer and writer; second, I had witnessed her ability to generate a steady stream of creative ideas; and third, I knew her excellent team and leadership skills would serve her well as both an organizing committee member and the chair of the PR subcommittee.
Skyla's design contribution to the Ontario Writers' Conference was foundational. She truly understood the need to create an identity for the conference, and designed a logo that captured every element we were trying to get across. She carried this design through all our marketing materials as she created promotional flyers, brochures, and a standout look for our website. Skyla's promotional video brought immediate response from viewers, who were wowed by its inspirational impact.
As a team member, Skyla has found the right balance between owning responsibility for her piece of the project while welcoming feedback from the rest of the team. Public relations is a huge responsibility for the first year of a conference - it's all about drawing the public's attention and maintaining their interest. Through Skyla's dynamic communications initiatives, we have been able to take a multilayered approach to publicity and put our conference on the map! Thank you, Skyla and your subcommittee!"
Sherry Hinman, chair, Ontario Writers' Conference 2008
