Design and layout of Magazine Articles in Illustrator

We require someone who can take a word doc, jpg and png images and layout a 2 col article for our magazine.

We have an existing template design and style but welcome artistic input to the individual articles which are usually between 1500-2000 words with images.

Please provide some examples of your work, a price for an article based on the information above. There is the prospect of regular work for the successful contractor.
