55-Page A5 Pocket Manual

This project is to transform my drafted content into a compact, 55-page A5 pocket reference manual that follows the brand style guide I’ll provide. The finished piece must read crisply in print yet stay light enough for on-the-go use, so every spread needs a balanced mix of text, tables, charts, and supporting illustrations or images. Scope of work • Lay out approximately 55 interior pages plus front and back covers. • Apply the colours, typography and spacing rules in the supplied brand guide without deviation. • Integrate the content I send (Word files, spreadsheets and image assets) into a clear hierarchy—headings, body copy, call-outs, numbered tables, and explanatory diagrams. • Create or refine simple icons or infographics when data needs extra clarity. • Prepare a press-ready PDF (CMYK, 3 mm bleed) and deliver the editable source package—Adobe InDesign preferred, but Affinity Publisher is fine if that’s your workflow. Acceptance criteria • Final trim size: 148 × 210 mm (A5) with safe margins intact. • All images 300 dpi minimum, colour-managed. • Stylesheets set up for headings, subheads, body, captions and table elements so future updates remain painless. • Two revision cycles included to tighten layout and branding details before sign-off. Timeline can be discussed once you review the material, but I’m aiming for first proofs within a week of project start and final files shortly after revisions are cleared.
