Desktop Publishing (DTP) & Medical Localization: KEYTRUDA Patient Guide (Arabic Edition)

A high-precision Desktop Publishing (DTP) and medical localization project for a critical patient education booklet for KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab) by Merck. The objective was to format, structure, and localize a complex medical guide into Arabic, strictly adhering to global pharmaceutical compliance standards and print-ready specifications.

Key Deliverables & Responsibilities:

- Medical DTP & RTL Layout: Re-engineered the complete multi-page brochure layout from LTR to RTL (Arabic), ensuring seamless reading flow, balanced column distribution, and precise margin/bleed management.

- Strict Visual Hierarchy & Typography: Selected clean, highly legible Arabic typography suited for medical literature, ensuring clear distinction between critical warnings, side effects, and dosage instructions.

- Anatomical & Symptom Mapping: Professionally formatted complex body-system symptom charts (Eyes, Respiratory, Gastrointestinal, Skin, etc.) into accessible visual grids for patient reference.

- Prepress & Quality Assurance: Prepared print-ready PDF files adhering to strict pharmaceutical review standards (PAAB/Merck branding), with CMYK color management, embedded fonts, and high-resolution asset integration.
