Very basically, desktop publishing refers to the creation of various types of documents and marketing materials with the use of a computer and related software.


These materials can be stored and used electronically or printed. Printing can be done in-house or outsourced to a professional printing company or virtual assistance company such as Virtual Assistance Today.


The term ‘desktop publishing’ includes various elements such as content drafting and/or strategizing, layout planning, design, the insertion of graphs and images as well as the printing of such materials, if required.


Text can be manipulated into various fonts, sizes and justifications and images can be designed, inserted and transformed or manipulated. It is the duty of the Desktop Publisher to produce an end result, such as a newsletter, a brochure, a pamphlet or a book, that looks professional and inviting so as to grab the attention of potential readers or clients.
