Leisure Publishing Company maintains a vast software library that is always being updated to ensure that we have the latest software with the power and features needed to ensure maximum creativity, design impact and productivity. Some of the many software titles we use are Adobe Photoshop for custom color correction, Adobe Illustrator for free-hand logo and graphic design, QuarkXPress for page layout & prepress color separations and Flight Check Pro to make sure our files pass rigorous prepress standards before going to our off-premise printer. We use all of this software and more on a daily basis, to ensure a quality product.

No project can be completed without high-quality images. We use the industry's best sources; Comstock Images, Getty Images and PhotoDisc. However, not every project lends itself to stock images. A lot projects require a professional photographer to capture a specific shot. That's when we tap our database of nearly 300 nationwide professional freelance photographers for job-specific photography that meets our high standards.
