Desktop Publisher Jobs in Lansing, IL

A Desktop Publisher plays a vital role in the publishing industry by using computer software to design page layouts for newspapers, books, brochures, and other items that are printed or published online. They often work with other design and media professionals to produce final copies of texts. They ensure that printed materials are attractive and engaging, with clear and compelling layouts and typographic quality. Desktop Publishers need to have excellent computer skills, be detailed-oriented, and have a good eye for visually appealing layouts. Additionally, they should have strong communication skills to accurately interpret and execute the vision of the design team.

Typically, some important skills and certifications a Desktop Publisher should have include proficiency in desktop publishing tools like Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, QuarkXPress, and Photoshop, as well as a thorough understanding of design principles. Knowledge in digital file formats (PDF, EPUB, and interactive PDF) and print production processes is also essential. Certification in graphic design or a related field from a technical school or community college could be highly beneficial. Prior roles that an individual may have before becoming a Desktop Publisher can include a Graphic Designer, Production Artist, or a Prepress Technician, as these positions provide a strong foundation and understanding of the design industry.
