For over 40 years (until 2024) he worked in the layout department at Pelckmans Publishers. Over the years, he evolved from a print-based graphic designer to a passionate InDesign specialist. As head of the department, he placed great importance on proper training. He believes creativity should<em> <\/em>never be hindered by a lack of technical knowledge. He developed methods to design books in InDesign as accurately as possible, always keeping in mind: keep it simple. What can be done in one step, shouldn\u2019t take two or three.     <\/p>\n<p>In 1992, he completed the <em>Book Trade<\/em> program at the Higher Institute for Graphic Education in Ghent. Before that, he studied <em>Graphic Design<\/em> at the Municipal Institute for Decorative Arts and Crafts in Antwerp and <em>General Visual Arts<\/em> at the School for Expression in Roosendaal. <\/p>\n<p>Today he has his own business: <em>Herman Arnouts Typography<\/em>. Book layout and training are the focus here. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75a2957 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"75a2957\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e84df52 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e84df52\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor -
