Submerge Publishers is a dynamic underwater publication that requires exceptional time management and deadline-driven individuals in the team. As a layout artist, designing magazines, it was vital to have a strong understanding of magazine layout and photo editing. This included maintaining an extensive photography catalogue to source images from for future publications. In addition to traditional print media, Submerge Publishers also prioritized the creation of ePubs and online publishing, optimized for digital formats.
