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.
