Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
Estimated project duration: 3 - 4 weeks
Information for the business: Ageing issues
Industry: Lifestyle/Travel
Design details: I want a 53 A4 page book (14,000 words) designed and layed out in an attractive format ready for self publishing (hard copy and ebook options). It is a personal development handbook so has a number of introductory texts with associated exercises for people to follow. These need to be well layed out. It is well referenced throughout and has about 40 references which will need to be included in superscript. It will require some creative thinking about images / photographs to use to illustrate some of the main points and ideas.
Target audience: Target audience are 'baby boomers' - people in late 50's through to early 70's who have a history of personal development
Number of pages needed: Depends on layout.
Ideas for the visual style: Open to suggestions. Want it to be clean and attractive to the target audience
Things to avoid: Stereotyped images of older people
Where the design will be used: I aim to self publish some hard copies and for it to be available as on ebook on Kindle etc
Extra notes: A sample from the document is attached below. The handbook is essentially in two sections - section one explodes a number of myths about ageing; section two sets out 'ten steps to ageing positively' which each have some introductory text and then a series of exercises for people to follow. I will want an image/photo for each of the four myths and ten steps. The book cover will need to be very well designed to make it attractive. Working title is "How to age positively: a handbook for personal change in later life".
