Minimalist Workbook Layout Design
Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 USD
I’m looking for a print-layout specialist to transform my raw manuscript into a clean, minimalist workbook aimed at the general public. Your background in guided journals or high-end stationery will help ensure each page feels inviting and intuitive.
Scope
• Develop a cohesive visual system—grid, typography, margins, and subtle accents—that supports easy writing and reflection.
• Craft two initial style concepts; refine the chosen direction through one main revision round.
• Build out 50–70 interior pages plus cover, table of contents template, headers/footers, and page numbering.
• Prepare press-ready PDF files (CMYK, bleeds, embedded fonts) alongside fully editable source files in Adobe InDesign.
• Ensure pre-press best practices: consistent bleeds, low-ink usage for heavy writing areas, and clear safe zones.
Practical details
– Format will be US Letter or A4; we’ll confirm before layout begins.
– Include simple line icons or unobtrusive graphic elements only when they enhance usability—no visual clutter.
– Pages should feature ample whitespace, fill-in fields, check boxes, and progress trackers that align to your grid.
Please share portfolio samples of previous workbooks or guided journals, note your preferred timeline, and outline any additional support you can provide, such as printing specifications or ongoing updates.
