Demonstrations of my formatting and layout skills

First I'll revisit some items from the Writing page but with a focus on presentation rather than content. Then, I'll talk about something completely different.

Important equations are numbered, and essential definitions are boxed and shaded so that they can be easily found and referenced.
Publication-quality graphs illustrate the concepts described in the text.

Boxes highlight the important definitions and equations. Furthermore, the equations actually look good, which takes some effort in Microsoft Word.
Sections are numbered automatically, and the table of contents updates itself to reflect modifications in the sections.
Figures are also automatically numbered, and references to sections and figures update themselves if the numbers of the referent objects change.

Compline (Night Prayer) View Full PDF

This is a prayer book for which I did all of the typesetting, including the music (both Gregorian and modern-notation). I also did the Latin-to-English translation of two verses of the opening hymn and wrote the lyrics to one of the hymns in the back.

Psalms are presented with their proper Gregorian tones and are marked in italic at the flex.
All of the standard Marian antiphons are included, all with a variety of tones and most in both English and Latin.
The Ordinary parts are repeated for every day in English, and they are also included at the end in Latin (there is also a separate PDF of just the Ordinary in Latin which can be printed and used as a bookmark).
A variety of extra hymns and chants are included at the end, for those who get tired of Te lucis ante terminum.
