Desktop publishers typically work in the publishing industry and collaborate with other design and media professionals such as graphic designers, illustrators, writers, and editors. They collect graphics and other materials they will need and format them into a finished product. Computers are used to design various layouts for print or online publications. Things like font, spacing, text, background colour and illustration size have to be considered in order to make each page look as good as possible.
Desktop publishers are often responsible for correcting spelling errors and punctuation and occasionally write their own original content. After they are satisfied with the finished project, they will send it to the official publisher for review. Final layouts can be seen in magazines, books, brochures, webpages, and newspapers.
