In the 1990s, Bear wrote, designed, and published a small desktop publishing magazine and co-founded two graphic design groups. Her personal portfolio includes design and writing credits for a history book, a software manual, logos, club and marketing newsletters, postcards, brochures, and other marketing materials for small businesses and individuals.
She is an artist who loves to combine traditional and digital craft and page layout techniques to create greeting cards, books, decorations and other creative print projects.
In addition to her formal business education in college, Bear’s continuing education has included trying out online classes, watching videos, and doing many of the tutorials she recommends to others, and teaching herself new techniques before writing her own tutorials. Teaching desktop publishing is an educational experience in itself and enhances her ability to continue writing on the subject.
