Sprung Formal is an award-winning literary and arts journal produced by the Kansas City Art Institute. Through intentional identity and premium print production, the publication has been elevated from a student project to a formally recognized professional arts journal.

Serving as the Editorial Manager, the role directed the technical assembly and end-to-end workflow for this edition. Responsibilities involved overseeing the master page formatting and texture pairing while managing the rigorous proofing of poetry for print-readiness. The process concluded with a final production review at Alpine-Litho Graphics to ensure physical integrity and color accuracy.
