DVD/CD Packaging (mock-up)

During the summer of 2009, I was an extra in a movie about the Mormon Battalion.  I used a cellphone to take the picture to the right while trekking from one shot to another with several other extras.

On one of the last days of the shoot someone brought in copies of a self-published disc containing several out-of-print books about the Battalion.  Since the packaging was very rudimentary, I had the idea of using my picture as one element of an improved packaging design.  (I'll update this post if the project develops further.)

Set of Brochures and Flyers

Some marketing materials:

• On the left: my rates for creating a digital manuscript of a family or personal history.
• In the middle: the kind of digitization that I can do.
• On the right: a combination brochure and order form for custom calendars (the full PDF of this document is linked below, and finished calendar examples can be seen here and here).

   

Manuscript and Covers for Print-on-Demand Title

This was something of a technical work, with hundreds of footnotes and images.  I received the manuscript as a roughly formed MS Word document, and returned it as a ready-to-print PDF.  The scope of this job included basic copy editing, standardizing citations and usage, correcting layout, correcting formatting, and updating or creating images where needed.

I also created covers for hard-bound and soft-bound editions, and created some basic marketing materials (pictured after the break).
