Greek Islands Coffee Table Book

I need a designer–layout artist who can turn our recent seven-day, four-couple power-yacht adventure through the Greek Islands into a hard-bound coffee-table book worthy of a living-room display in a mega-mansion in Cabo.

Scope of the project
• Design a handsome cover (maybe using one of our photos) that instantly evokes Greece—think cerulean water, whitewashed architecture, sun-soaked cliffs, whatever best frames the story visually.
• Open the book with a warm, visually appealing thank-you page dedicated to our hosts.
• Create a clean, engaging map that pinpoints each island on our route.
• Structure the book by island: every chapter begins with an informal, engaging blurb about that stop (roughly 150–200 words), then flows into a thoughtfully curated photo sequence. I will provide image folders and captions; your job is to edit, retouch lightly as needed, and lay them out so they breathe on the page.
• Supply a print-ready PDF (CMYK, 300 dpi, full bleed) and source files (InDesign or Affinity Publisher preferred). If you can also manage or advise on short-run printing, note that in your proposal.

Acceptance criteria
1. Cover, map, thank-you page, and all chapters follow a consistent visual theme.
2. Educational blurbs read smoothly, balancing fun facts with personal tone.
3. Final PDF passes pre-press checks for a standard 11×13-inch landscape coffee-table format.

Timeline is flexible but I’d like a first draft layout within three weeks of asset delivery. Let me know your relevant portfolio pieces and any questions you have so we can start crafting this keepsake.
