"Simply Emerging Technology Facts Made Fast," the freshest addition to the series. The key challenge was the complexity of the subject and the need to interpret the author’s rough scamps. I reworked these into the established DK style while managing the intricate technical processes involved. By liaising closely with the art director, I successfully delivered my allocated pages on time, within budget, and to full satisfaction.
