Rose at Harvard University Press
Notes from Rose: This summer so far at Harvard University Press has been an amazing experience for me. In just a few weeks, I’ve gained so much more insight into the world of book publishing and design than I ever could have imagined. From the beginning, my mentor, Eric, and the other designers at HUP have kept me hard at work doing tasks such as paperback conversions, photo research, and archiving. I’ve also learned about color correcting, and am still amazed at the detailed attention each image in a book receives to make sure the colors in it will print just right. I love seeing the process of book cover and interior design, and again, am amazed by the detail of it. As for paperback conversion, its been a fun challenge for me to figure out how to stay true to the original jacket design, while still fitting all of the elements into a paperback format. I can’t wait to walk into a book store sometime this fall and see a book I worked with on the shelves!
