roject Brief: School Newspaper Layout Update (Print)

Project: Update and recreate layout for our school newspaper
Platform: PeoplePerHour
Client: The Hall School (North London independent prep school)

We are seeking a designer to recreate the layout of our existing school newspaper with updated content for the upcoming edition.

We do not have the original InDesign files, so the publication will need to be set up from scratch, while closely matching the look and structure of previous editions. The goal is to retain the existing style and layout while replacing the copy and images with new content.

Samples of previous editions are attached for reference.

Scope of Work

Recreate current newspaper layout from supplied PDFs

Insert updated copy and images (supplied by us)

Prepare print-ready files for production

Maintain existing structure and overall design style

Format Specifications

Saddle-stitched brochure

Size: 295 × 340 mm

Approximately similar length to previous editions (see attached samples)

Timeline

We are working towards a print deadline of 19 March, with distribution planned for 27 March.

Our internal schedule aims for:

Content supplied to designer: around 5 March

First proof returned: by 12 March (midday)

Feedback and revisions: 12–16 March

Final artwork sign-off: 16 March

Please confirm whether this schedule works for you and provide your estimated turnaround time.
