David's art & design career began in 1967 with the promotional materials for his rock band. After he was graduated in 1971 with a BFA in Printmaking from the University of Minnesota, he immediately began working in publishing, beginning as an illustrator. By 1979, he was working as a graphic designer in West Virginia. In the early 1980s in Albuquerque, he developed skills as a graphic designer, typographer, and art director in-house for a commercial printer.
Beginning in 1991, he began teaching the commercial printing program at a large technical-vocational school. By 1996, he was developing and heading up the Business Graphics digital publishing program at that school.
In 1994 he began designing fonts which he used to format his first textbook, "Printing In a Digital World", released in 1996. He began teaching online that same year as well as publishing ebooks for his curriculum. By 2002, he was publishing through Lulu, then Createspace, then Kindle, and then all the rest. He began writing and publishing full-time in 2009.
Though most of David's books are about typography, graphic design, font design, and book design, he has also been teaching scripture since 1974. Since that time he has normally taught one to three Bible studies a week. Once he began writing and publishing full-time, he started releasing verse-by-verse, and topical Bible studies. His vision is to share his experience with young authors.
Who does this book help?
This book enables you, a small niche author and publisher, to develop quality books which communicate better with your readers. You'll learn typography—defined as:
Typography is the art of communicating clearly and easily with type
As people of the Book, the Holy Spirit uses scripture as one of the most common ways He speaks to us. This book will give you tools and understanding about creating books with a focus on guiding your readers into a closer relationship with our Messiah. You can make your books places of peace and security where your readers can learn truths which can transform their lives.
These skills work whether you are writing fiction or non-fiction. The idea is that you have been led to believe by our Lord that He has called you to write. It's your ministry and a valued part of the life of anyone in the five areas of ministry found in Ephesians 4:11. For, a novel enables you to present the inner workings of your characters in a world which can be tailored to clearly teach Truth in a way that is impossible in the day to day lives we live. Because the author knows what the character is thinking, feeling, and sensing.
Typography is a powerful tool in that pursuit for pastors and teachers. That's a pastor in its original meaning as a shepherd of the sheep—who guides, teaches, counsels, and mentors them.
In addition, InDesign is also a powerful tool for graphic design. You'll learn more about producing graphics to help your message. There is no better tool for book production. Plus you'll learn how to make print books and ePUBs that are a step above what we've been seeing in publishing in the 21st century.
