Layout Design
Editorial design has been a major part of my work experience. Doing art direction and graphic design on several magazine titles for two-plus decades. Including the design of publication mastheads, departments, and main features, as well as the template for the production of each title. All projects are produced for print and several have also recently become digital releases. Additionally, I was responsible for processing client-supplied ad artwork to ensure files met specifications and quality control.
In my role as the production department manager, I set production schedules for all titles with company and external partners. Working with sales, sponsorship, and editorial departments to keep content on time and delivering final work to printers and clients on deadline. Signing off and approving final proofs for each publication issue. With titles the company-owned I also designed any publication specific ads, and marketing or sales materials.
