This week at work I was showed around the office. I got to meet another intern and learn how the printer works. The printer is amazing, and it can print, copy, and even produce binded books. You have the option of using a saddle stich binding or a slight variation with a thin flat spine. The process is amazing but you have to make sure everything in your document is aligned and that your settings on the printer are making sense too. My supervisor and I messed up a few prints of a book this week because we were clumsily mixing up a few printer settings on the actual printer monitor.

Speaking of that booklet, I had to redesign a large portion of it because it was simply hideous. Some one had the audacity to design something in Microsoft word and it looked like clipart and a mess of non-aligned elements. Whats worse is that I couldn’t really edit it, even as a pdf in illustrator, so it was an arduous process. I think I spent two days on that project alone, making sure I didn’t mistakenly remove essential body text. Basically I had to remove the splash pages of each chapter in addition to reorganize the table of contents. After an exhausting process I finally finished it and never felt greater relief!!!
