Back to original languageAbout Alvaro
I am Álvaro López, a freelance professional layout designer with over 20 years of experience in the editorial and graphic arts sector.
My specialties are the composition of graphic design publications, layout, and pre-press (design and layout of books, magazines, brochures, catalogs, advertising posters; image retouching; creation and editing of ePub 2.0 and 3.0 ebooks; interactive PDFs; development and management of virtual libraries, XML/HTML layout, CSS ...).
Throughout this time, I have acquired a global vision of the editorial process from the reception of the manuscript in Word to the production of the book in physical format and its subsequent editing in digital format, interactive PDF, and ePub, and I have participated in all of them, which has enriched me professionally and personally.
I continue to develop my professional career and seek collaborations to work with different editorial teams.
I currently work as a freelancer and my goal is to establish new professional commitments, collaborations, etc., and continue learning in this ancient yet constantly evolving sector, contributing my knowledge to new projects that help me continue to evolve.
