Comprehensive Book Design & Production
Budget: €250 – €750 EUR
BOOK DESIGN & PRODUCTION BRIEF
(Interior + Cover | Print & EPUB)
Project Overview
This project covers the full design and production of a high-density nonfiction book focused on skin health through the skin–gut–brain axis. The book is written for attentive, linear reading and is intentionally structured to support comprehension, regulation, and pattern recognition. It is not a lifestyle book, textbook, or decorative object.
The primary format is print, with a secondary reflowable ebook (EPUB / Kindle) edition designed to preserve structure, hierarchy, and teaching rhythm across devices.
The design philosophy is calm, authoritative, structured, and reader-first.
