COMD 4900 Internship, Fall 2020: The Formatting Project

Journal Entry #7

I got another project recently that involved me learning how to do book formatting which basically means changing things like type, size, or visuals to help the books read better. Here is the thing, I mostly work within areas like photo manipulation, video editing, and motion graphics. Not to mention that I also had to do this job using Apple Pages, but I did not have a working Mac. So, while I was not able to fully do this job Mr. R had told me about this program called Scribner, essentially it helps to do book formatting. Rather than just wait for a new project or potentially lose similar projects I sat down and took the time to learn about Scribner and the process of book formatting. Despite how interesting it sounds I did not find it as glamorous or as exciting as let us say animation or motion design, however, it is best to take every experience as a learning experience.
