Mostly working onsite at the Kennametal headquarters in Latrobe to plan,

architect and produce 1,000 page+ Tooling Systems catalogs. From large

databases we began linking template regions, assigning style sheets and

packaging up Quark layouts to export in order to print these publications

in multiple languages with both Metric and English conversions. We

leveraged the client's brand identity to design covers, indexes, and tables

of contents, pagination, templates, styles and more. Products were

illustrated or photographed, edited and added to databases.
