Redesign Business Book Figures for Readability
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Freelancer Job Post: Redesign 31 Figures for Business Book (Print + Ebook, KDP) — 1 Week Turnaround
Project
Self-published business book on AI and M&A, going to print via Amazon KDP in hardcover, paperback, and ebook. Manuscript is final and KDP-validated. Trim is 6×9 inches, figures display at 3.90 inches wide.
The problem
The 31 existing figures look fine on screen but text inside them renders at 5–7pt at print size — too small to read. I need them redesigned so all text is legible at the 3.90-inch print width, with a clean, executive-grade visual style suitable for a Wall Street / PE / corp dev audience.
Scope
Redesign 30 existing figures + create 1 new figure (Fig 6.2, currently a duplicate of Fig 6.1) showing sector groupings by M&A activity and agentic uplift.
Mix of infographics, timelines, charts, quadrant matrices, architecture diagrams, comparison tables, and process flows.
Priority breakdown: 8 CRITICAL, 18 HIGH, 4 MEDIUM, 1 LOW.
Preserve all original content — no summarizing or omissions.
Unified style across all figures (palette, typography, layout conventions).
Specs
PNG, 300 DPI minimum (1170px wide minimum, 1400–1600px preferred), sRGB, no transparency.
Minimum 8pt effective text size at 3.90-inch display width.
Must work in both color (ebook) and grayscale (print) — no color-only meaning.
Background: off-white (#F5F0EB) or white.
Suggested palette: navy #1B3A4B, teal #0F7173, gold #9A7D0A, muted red #C0392B, warm gray #8D8D8D — open to your proposal.
Sans-serif typeface for figures (Inter or Source Sans Pro preferred).
Deliverables
31 redesigned PNG files, named to match originals for direct drop-in.
Editable source files (Figma or Illustrator).
One-page visual style guide (palette, fonts, layout conventions).
One round of revisions.
Timeline — 7 days or less, firm
This is a hard deadline. Suggested milestones:
Day 1–2: 3–5 sample figures (mix of CRITICAL + HIGH) for approval
Day 3–6: Remaining figures delivered in batches
Day 7: Revisions, source files, and style guide complete
Only bid if you can commit to this timeline. If you have a team or can dedicate full-time hours this week, say so explicitly.
Budget
Please bid your fixed price for the full project, with a milestone structure tied to the timeline above. Strong portfolios and proven ability to hit tight deadlines will be weighted more heavily than the lowest bid — quality on the CRITICAL figures matters more than saving a few dollars.
To apply, send:
3–5 portfolio samples of infographics, report figures, or book illustrations
Your approach to print legibility at small display sizes
Per-figure and total project pricing
Confirmation you can deliver in 7 days, with daily milestone commitments
Tools you'll use (Figma, Illustrator, etc.)
Whether you're working solo or with a team
