I worked with area event photographers on individual projects, which consisted mainly of designing digital photo albums for Bar Mitzvah and Wedding clients. I worked mostly from my home office while communicating with the studio via e-mail and telephone, and I relied on DropBox to transfer client files. I also provided photographers with production information and assisted with the initial in-studio setup so that they were able to offer digitally designed print products to their clients. The album design process consisted of initial photo-retouching, album layout design, and a series of design proofs and revisions to be sent to the client for approval. Once the process was completed I was able to submit the final design for printing.
