Hello from Mr Pre-Press!

Mr Pre-Press · 01-18-2008, 11:22 AM

I write the blog "Mr Pre-Press Speaks!", which examines print production issues from the standpoint of an educated brain. I've examined education, page layout, workplace follies and other topics that might be of interest to you.

Here's some typical noir-lite reading matter:
--------
Earlier I mentioned that late one night in 1997, I got fed up with being fed up, and that eventually led me to Mike Whitlow’s Bookshop. It took a lot more than a casual “gee, I think I’ll, like, go to night school, and…like, you know, work on my book…?

I had crashed into the side of the professional mountain. Completely. My Dick-n-Jane book was a symphony of tin cans tied to my tail. Every piece screamed AMATEUR BARNEY. Not surprisingly, I wasn’t getting any art direction work. I was getting a lot of horrifed looks.
--------

Some background info:

I am a freelance design/ad agency Mac-based pre-press expert. In other words, I am a digital plumber. Before the Mac, it was a blood-sport with sharp knives, hot wax and various toluene sprays and solvents.

When not doing this cheez, I live outdoors. Additionally, I keep a stable of near-vintage film cameras in steady rotation with various projects.

Finally— I read widely, and am interested in everything except television and professional sports.

Thanks!
