How to become a typesetter?

A typesetter uses physical or digital printing tools to create text. To become a typesetter, get a job working with a publisher, graphic designer, or art director. Enhance your art and graphic design skills with hands-on practice in preparing fonts, importing text, and revising layouts according to client specifications. If you plan to explore other art forms in your profession, consider earning a degree in graphic design or commercial art. Demonstrate knowledge of current software applications, such as Adobe InDesign, other Adobe Creative Cloud applications, and QuarkXPress, to increase career prospects and exhibit up-to-date expertise of typesetting tools.
