• Formatting Overview & Specs: Integrated a technical breakdown highlighting font selection, text hierarchy, white space management, illustration placement, and page numbering for client transparency[cite: 18].

TECHNICAL SPECS:
• Software: Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, Procreate
• Deliverables: Complete interior book layout template (300 DPI, CMYK), print-ready PDF/X export with bleed and trim guidelines configured for Amazon KDP and IngramSpark picture book dimensions[cite: 18].
