Welcome to the website of bowmangraphics. ‘Bowmangraphics’ is is a convenient single-word term for the wide variety of freelance work I do, using InDesign and other Adobe Creative Cloud applications. My name is Jeremy Bowman, and I work from my home in Cork city, Ireland. It involves preparing a wide range of different kinds of publication for print and the web, creating ebooks, and general problem-solving in publishing.
This script compares raw GMT tide table figures with figures that have been adjusted for summer time. It displays them in a visually striking way to making checking more intuitive.
At the moment, most of my work involves typesetting academic books and creating EPUBs which can be read as standalone publications themselves, and can be quickly converted into online web resources. I specialize in automating and streamlining publishing workflows, from writing JavaScript for InDesign, to harnessing the power of XML (typically, to present the contents of a database in more than one way). Automation doesn’t just speed things up: it avoids the human errors that inevitably creep in when people perform tedious, repetitive tasks. It also enables much higher standards of precision.
If you are a user of InDesign, I can write a script to help improve the quality your own work. Or you might prefer me to do the work for you, knowing that my wide range of technical skills will ensure that the project is completed with efficiency and precision.
You can contact me using the form on this website. Tell me a little about what you are trying to achieve. At no cost to you, I will tell you whether or not I can help. We may have to exchange a few emails, again at no cost to you. Once I have enough information, I will tell you how much the finished product will cost. This is not an estimate but a precise figure which you are free to accept or reject, and if you choose to reject it you pay absolutely nothing.
