Hi, welcome to my website. I hope you enjoy browsing around the various pages on this site and seeing the types of typesetting work I've been doing in the past.
I have worked within the publishing industry for about thirty years, largely as a result of my husband's career as a writer, historian and documentary filmmaker. My work as a book designer, typesetter, indexer and photographic restoration specialist has grown in and around my husband's career to a stage where I have now designed and typeset some of the largest books published in Australia. You will see some of this work on various pages within this website. The last set of books I typeset included more than 800 fully restored photographs running over two huge volumes with a total of 1560 pages.
I have designed books, DVD jackets, colour brochures, CD jackets, webpage inserts, documentary montages, magazine articles, event presentations, ebooks, flyers, advertising, in-shop presentations and heaps of other elements associated with the publishing and filmmaking world.
I have extensive experience in a number of different software applications including InDesign CS4 and Photoshop; Lotus Word Pro and Lotus 123 (spreadsheets); MS Publisher; ULead Photo Express; Microsoft Word; Excel and others.
I am also an experienced indexer and have indexed publications running in excess of 850,000 words - (that's no typo!!). My indices are fully comprehensive and cross-referenced so that readers are able to find what they want quickly and easily. You will read some comments on this work in the 'references' tab above.
By the way, all the photographs you will see on the headers of this website were restored by me.
I'd love to hear from you and can be contacted through the 'contact' tab above.
Cheers for now,
Lensie
