Yale came to me and said there isn't an overarching book about the history of printmaking; they wanted it to be about the printed image. There are a lot of books about printing-about the history of journalism or the history of books, the printing press and the printed word-but not so much about the printed image and its processes. So that was my challenge.

I'm a midweight designer looking to step into another job elsewhere but I keep hearing so many conflicting things about portfolio formats and I don't want to have to recreate three versions all on different platforms just to apply for a job.
