I am looking for an experienced designer to create a professional, visually appealing Visitors Guide booklet. I already have: All written content A clear design concept (colours, fonts, template ideas, overall style and brochure size) Guidance on structure and layout A selection of photos to be included What I need is someone to professionally design and format everything into a beautiful, easy-to-read booklet that flows well and looks excellent both digitally and in print. Print quality is very important, so attention to detail (layout, spacing, image resolution, margins, bleed, etc.) is essential. Ideally, I would like the guide to be created in Canva, unless you would strongly recommend a better platform for achieving a more professional printed result. My preference for Canva is so that I can access the file later and make minor edits if needed. However, I am open to expert advice on the best solution. Please include in your proposal: Your total price for the full project Estimated turnaround time Examples of similar booklet or brochure work you have completed if possible Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Luxury Minimal Planner
EDITORIAL LAYOUT DESIGNER NEEDED FOR LUXURY MINIMAL PLANNER (PRINT-READY) I am seeking an experienced editorial layout designer to create the interior and cover of a high-end, minimal lifestyle planner. This is not a productivity worksheet or template-style planner. The aesthetic must feel elevated, refined, spacious, and intentionally understated. Designs relying on heavy boxes, standard grids, or template-style layouts will not be considered. The attached reference image reflects the editorial direction I am drawn to — asymmetrical balance, generous white space, light rule lines, and typography-led hierarchy. DESIGN DIRECTION • Editorial, not corporate • Visually softened structure (implied through spacing, not boxed sections) • Very light line weights • Generous white space • Deconstructed modern script for titles (similar in spirit to my logo, but not identical) • Clean, refined sans serif for body text (Optima-style tone) • Subtle gold accent areas (minimal, not decorative) • Cream or soft white page background Typography and spacing should carry the design. The planner should feel like a refined lifestyle brand piece — not a functional worksheet. SCOPE Total: 120 pages (12 individual page designs) + cover Designer will provide fully print-ready files with bleed and safe margins. COVER Front: Title centered (gold foil stamped) Back: Logo centered at bottom INTERIOR (high-level guidance) Includes intro page, monthly overview, guided structured pages, weekly double spread (intentions + daily sections), checklist page, note pages, and interior pockets. Designer has creative freedom to interpret structure as long as it remains visually softened and editorial. PRINT PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS Applicants must have experience preparing files for professional print production, including: • CMYK color setup • 3mm bleed • Safe margin considerations • Separate spot layer for foil stamping • High-resolution print-ready PDF export Please confirm familiarity with these requirements in your proposal. PORTFOLIO REQUIREMENTS Please provide examples of: • Editorial layouts • Magazine spreads • Luxury minimal branding • High-end print projects Template-style planners will not be considered. This project requires refined aesthetic judgment. Please only apply if you are confident in delivering a design-led, editorial result.

Illustrator needed for children's picture book.
I am creating a heart-warming children’s picture book that follows three siblings through an entire day with their grandpa—gardening, baking, exploring, start watching, and plenty of small, tender moments in between. The manuscript is locked; now I need an illustrator who can bring more than twenty interior spreads to life and design a captivating front (and optional back) cover that ties everything together. Scope • Twenty-plus full-bleed, full-color spreads that flow naturally with the text. • A cover that leaves room for title, author name, and spine text, formatted for both print (CMYK, bleed) and eBook. Style & Tone I am wide open on artistic approach—cartoon, semi-realistic, watercolor, digital painting—so long as the final art feels warm, joyful, and age-appropriate (target readers: 2-8). Consistency across characters, settings, and palettes is crucial, and the images must communicate the loving bond between children and grandparent at first glance. Deliverables 1. Rough character sketches for approval. 2. Storyboard or thumbnail layout of all spreads. 3. Final high-resolution artwork (minimum 300 dpi) in layered PSD or AI plus flattened TIFF/PNG for print. 4. Print-ready PDF of the entire book, including cover, with bleed and crop marks. 5. Web-optimized JPEG/PNG set for eBook conversion. Timeline is flexible within reason, but please outline realistic milestones for sketches, line art, color, and final files. If you have a portfolio piece that captures warmth, family connection, or lively kid scenes, I’d love to see it when you respond.
