I have an ongoing commitment as freelancer to Spot On Publications (the months of January, March, May, July, September & November) and then as required outside these months.
I produce a 176+pg bi-monthly industry magazine. The magazine involves photoshopping the cover image, laying up all the editorial, creating and editing 100+ advertisements, then putting the magazine together for print, trouble shooting, organising (and training) a Freelancer as support staff each issue.
Another ongoing project is a 324+pg bi-ennial directory, I manage the merging of the data from excel to Indesign, layout, creating advertisements and compiling for print.
Other work I produce for Spot On Publications are advertisements, DLE promotionals, calendars, newsletters, flyers, stationery, tenders, brochures, booklets as well as web banners, web ads, e-newsletters.
