Print-Ready Dear Diary Journal
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
The manuscript, page order, and all written content for “Dear Diary” are finalized; what remains is a polished, production-ready design. I want a clean, minimalist aesthetic set on B5 pages (176 × 250 mm) in a strict monochrome palette, but with tasteful holographic accents for titles, edging, or other small highlights.
The scope covers the entire book package: a hardcover wrap (front, back, and 20 mm spine) plus every interior spread. I’ll supply copy, section breaks, and any reference sketches the moment the project kicks off. You’ll establish a consistent grid, typography hierarchy, and any iconography needed, then deliver press-ready files to my printer’s exact specifications—CMYK PDFs with separate spot-color layers for the holographic foil, plus all open, editable source files (InDesign, Illustrator, or equivalent).
Key deliverables
• Full-bleed cover design (front, back, spine) with trim, bleed, and foil layers
• Interior layout for ±200 pages, including section openers, ruled or dotted writing pages, teaser quotes, and index placeholders
• Print-ready PDFs meeting the manufacturer’s template, margins, and color profile
• Live, layered source files and linked assets
Acceptance criteria: every file must pass the printer’s pre-flight check without modification, all fonts outlined or licensed, and visual consistency maintained across spreads.
If you have recent examples of minimalist book or journal work—especially where foil or specialty finishes were involved—I’d love to see them when you respond.
