Desktop publishing is very well suited to telecommuting, and with low overhead and start-up costs, it can be developed into a home business very easily. Desktop publishing provides services that all businesses need at some point in time, as well as nearly all individuals.
Desktop publishing is really a wide category, and you can choose to specialize in any one of a number of niche areas. It is also possible to combine closely related services without stretching yourself too thin, because so many areas overlap.
My degree is in Graphic Imaging and Desktop Publishing, and my services and consultations have included all of the following at one time or another:
Create Letterheads and Business Cards
Fliers, Posters
Brochures
Invitations
Greeting Cards
Newsletters
Catalogues
Menus
