About these Projects

An often overlooked, but important piece of event collateral is the program book. When done correctly, a program book should present all important information in an easily navigable format. For these projects, I used stock and provided images along with prepared copy. I did some editing down of copy and a lot of formatting. Program books can be really fun projects for getting into the organization of style sheets and master pages.
