Premium Executive Workbook Redesign

# UKRBA REGIONAL DIRECTOR WORKBOOK DESIGN PROJECT

## Overview

I am looking for an experienced publication designer with strong Adobe InDesign skills to transform an existing 34-page operating manual into a premium executive workshop workbook.

This is not a simple formatting job.

The goal is to create a professionally designed workbook that feels comparable to a high-end corporate training manual or executive education workbook.

The finished document should look as though it has been produced by a professional design agency.

---

## Existing Material Provided

The successful freelancer will receive:

• Existing PDF workbook/manual (34 pages)

• UKRBA branding assets

• UKRBA illustrations and graphics

• Existing logos and brand colours

• Design examples showing the style I am aiming for

---

## Important

The content is already written.

I am NOT looking for a copywriter.

I am NOT looking for somebody to rewrite the document.

I am NOT looking for somebody to shorten or summarise the content.

The wording should remain substantially unchanged.

Your role is to redesign the document, improve the layout, improve usability and create a premium workbook experience.

---

## Project Objective

Transform the current document from a basic operating manual into an engaging executive workshop workbook.

The workbook should:

• Feel professional and premium

• Encourage note taking

• Encourage planning

• Encourage participation

• Encourage action

• Feel interactive rather than passive

Delegates should leave the workshop with a completed workbook containing their own notes, plans and actions.

---

## Design Expectations

The finished workbook should include:

• Professional typography

• Strong visual hierarchy

• Premium page layouts

• Consistent branding

• Professional use of colour

• Call-out boxes

• Key takeaway sections

• Planning areas

• Notes sections

• Action planning worksheets

• Reflection sections

• Business planning templates where appropriate

---

## White Space

One of the biggest issues with the current document is excessive unused space.

Where appropriate, unused space should be converted into:

• Notes sections

• Planning sections

• Action areas

• Reflection boxes

• Brainstorming areas

• Target-setting sections

Every page should feel intentional and useful.

---

## Illustration Use

I have a library of UKRBA illustrations.

These should be integrated into the workbook professionally and used throughout the document where relevant.

I do not want illustrations simply dropped onto pages.

They should form part of the overall page design.

---

## Software Requirements

Adobe InDesign is preferred.

Please confirm:

• Your preferred software

• Whether Adobe InDesign will be used

• Whether editable source files will be supplied

• Whether print-ready PDF files will be supplied

---

## Deliverables

I expect:

• Fully redesigned workbook

• Print-ready PDF

• Editable source files

• All linked assets packaged correctly

• Fonts identified and supplied where licensing permits

---

## To Apply

Please provide:

1. Examples of similar workbook, training manual, report or publication design projects.

2. Confirmation that you can work in Adobe InDesign.

3. Estimated turnaround time.

4. Fixed project price.

5. A short explanation of how you would improve a document like this.

Applications without examples of professional publication design work are unlikely to be considered.

## Ideal Candidate

The ideal freelancer will have experience designing:

• Executive workbooks

• Training manuals

• Corporate publications

• Workshop materials

• Annual reports

• Business guides

I am looking for somebody who can think like a designer, not somebody who simply formats documents.
