Creativity and Careers in Publishing
By Anita North
A job is a necessity, but having a job doesn't have to be a burden. Many people find jobs that allow them to express their creativity while still paying the bills. Publishing is an interesting industry that offers opportunities for rewarding careers. All parts of a book, from the jacket to the interior, require the work of dedicated professionals. Illustrators create drawings or paintings to accompany the text. Editors make sure that the text of a book meets publishing standards. Professional designers create page layouts, design headings, and choose typography that is appropriate for the book. Others design the binding and construction of a book and see that it is properly bound.
Most books are printed in a style designated by a publisher, known as a house style. However, there is still room for creativity in publishing. Even books that have already been published may be published in another format, such as a trade paperback. Since mass-market paperbacks are produced in such high volume, there is always a demand for designers to work on them. Even though it's the same book, it requires the same level of design needed on the original edition. Specialized industries also offer opportunities to work on professional books and textbooks.
