Hi there!

I'm looking for a reliable designer to create both the cover and interior layout for a 105-page "Would You Rather" book for new couples. This book will be published on Amazon KDP. The project is fully planned out with all content written. Your job will be to execute the design based on a detailed brief.

Project Scope:
- Total Pages: 105 (interior) + full cover design
- Interior Size: 6" x 9"
- Interior: Black & White (with one accent color if desired)

- Target Audience: Adults (couples ages 18-35)

Book Cover Requirements:

- Title: "Would You Rather for New Couples: Getting to Know You Edition"
- Subtitle: "200 Fun Questions for Date Nights & Lazy Sundays"
- Back cover with book description space and design elements
- Spine text (if applicable based on page count)
- Modern, appealing design for gift-giving market
- Must stand out in Valentine's/relationship book category

Book Content Summary:

The 105-page book consists of:
- Front Matter: Title page, Instructions page, Table of contents (3 pages)
- Main Content: 10 sections with 20 questions each (100 pages total)
   - Each section has 1 intro divider page
   - Each page displays 2 questions with simple checkboxes
- Back Matter: Create Your Own template, Copyright page (2 pages)

Design Requirements:
- ONE consistent page template for all question pages
- Simple checkbox format (Me, You, Same) for each question
- Clean, readable typography
- Minimal decorative elements (can reuse throughout)
- Section dividers with section name and simple graphic
- No complex illustrations needed - this is primarily text layout

Ideal Freelancer:
- Proven KDP Experience: You understand KDP formatting requirements and can create print-ready PDFs
- Portfolio with Book Covers: Experience designing covers that sell on Amazon
- Typography Skills: Experience with clean, readable book layouts
- Efficient Worker: Since this uses one repeating template, you can work quickly

- Reliable & Communicative: Can meet deadlines and provide updates

Deliverables:

- Interior PDF: Complete 105-page PDF, correctly formatted for KDP (6x9, B&W)
- Source Files: Original, editable files for both cover and interior
- Template File: The master template for question pages

What I Will Provide:
Upon hiring, you will receive:
- Complete list of all 200 Would You Rather questions
- Exact text for all front and back matter
- Section names and order
- Sample layout reference
- Any specific font or style preferences

Budget Note:
This is a simple, template-based project. Once you create the main question page template, it repeats 90 times with different text. I'm looking for efficient, quality work at a reasonable rate.
