In addition to producing videos for the Counterdrug Program and the State Headquarters, I was involved in writing, photography and editing of the Counterdrug Program internal newsletter, "The D.R.I.L.", which was distributed to Federal and State policy-makers and elected representatives, as well as to all members of the Counterdrug Program.
In order to use the headquarters' printing facilities, The Counterdrug program had to supply manpower (ME) to the printshop to help with the actual printing and production of the newsletter
I received hands-on training in offset print 'the finished layouts to the pressroom proofing printer via LAN. I produced the camera negatives and exposed and developed the offset plates. I managed the presses, operated the collating/folding/stapling 'finisher' machine, and packed the finished newsletters for distribution. I also produced "proof" prints of specialty items, such as the Conference Book Cover or the design for the portfolios.
