Melbourne Girls’ College “Upstream” yearbook for 2005
Design and desktop publishing of an 80 page magazine, combination of colour and black & white.
After meeting with the magazine committee students, I decided on a “journal” background for most of the pages, and included elements you might see in a diary or journal, such as pressed flowers and handwritten scribbles.
Much Photoshop work of scanned and provided photos was required, and I also subedited the content.

Talking Kids
Design and desktop publishing of a 100 page bi-monthly publication with a 20,000 print run, distributed via newsagencies. Three issues produced.

Frontier,

Motorvate www.motorvate.net.au
Motorvate is a book that is intended to help change driver attitudes, or set the correct attitude in the case of the younger drivers at which it is aimed. It provides positive, practical information to parents anxious to set their children on the right track in their driving. It explains why young drivers are unsafe drivers and how to change this.
I designed and typeset the internals, and took over and completed the design of the cover.
Essentials
of Business Law
Published
by Tertiary Press.
A
hefty tome at over 1300 pages, this project took over a year
from start to finish, with numerous drafts, and then further
alterations due to laws changing while the textbook was being
put together.
The
designer I worked with created the initial overall “look” to the book, and I took the project from there to pre-press,
doing all the page layout, styling and editorial amendments.

Victorian School News
Published
by the Victorian Education Department and sent to every government

was the desktop publisher and sub-editor, also scanning and
correcting pictures. I worked closely with the editor from
the Victorian Education Department, and took the paper right
through to sending the print-ready files to the printers.
Fiji
Islands Tourism Newsletter
I
took over this publication for a number of issues, working
within the constraints of the existing design and concentrating
on tweaking it to maximise the use of available pictures despite
the required amounts of text.
