Mischief Management produces multiple fan conventions per year, and having a highly automated program book insures critical detail accuracy and creates a quality keepsake for their thousands of participants.
Specialized styles and linked data not only fully populate each page with text and images, but also properly annotate book and movie titles, avoid line breaks in names, email and web addresses, and keep session information together on a single page. Errors are minimized by allowing design to work independently from content.

Each year I collaborate with another designer to automatically generate nearly 100 pages of fan convention book content, using carefully created spreadsheets and even more carefully crafted master pages and stylesheets. This allows flexibility in both design and content, completing the book in a fraction of the time as traditional layout, and also grants the client flexibility to update schedule information until the last minute.
