Monroe County Fair Program Booklet
Editorial Layout & Publication Design
This project involved preparing and organizing the Monroe County Fair program booklet, a publication exceeding 150 pages that served as both an event guide and sponsor advertising program. The overall structure and content of the booklet were established by the fair committee, so the work focused on organizing large volumes of submitted material within the approved format. This included integrating sponsor advertisements, arranging event schedules, and maintaining consistent layout and typography throughout the publication. A significant part of the project involved coordinating with local sponsors and vendors. Many advertisers submitted artwork that required adjustment or correction to meet print specifications. I prepared files, corrected layouts, and ensured advertisements fit properly within the publication’s grid and page structure. In addition to layout preparation, I coordinated with outside printing vendors to ensure the booklet was delivered correctly and on schedule prior to the fair. The final publication functioned as both a visitor guide and a major advertising platform for dozens of local businesses supporting the event.
In addition to editorial layout work, I coordinated the preparation of advertising artwork submitted by local sponsors. This included adjusting layouts, correcting files for print compatibility, and ensuring all advertisements met required print specifications.
The project also involved coordinating with outside printing vendors and fair organizers to ensure the publication was properly prepared for large-scale production and delivered on schedule before the fair. Booklet here
