    paper Children's Book Layout & Typesetting

    Client already had the illustrations and copy for their book, and needed the two combined into a print-ready format and file that they could then take to a print shop for production. Using the clients provided files I created a page by page spread, adding page numbers, selecting fonts, formatting the copy and artwork together so they are not only legible and look good, but also are appropriate for printing guidelines by accounting for gutters, margins, and bleeds, etc. The client received a print-ready PDF of the cover spread and interior pages.
