Designer workbook

PROJECT PENELOPE WORKBOOK DESIGN BRIEF Hello, I'm looking for a designer to partner with me on a very special project called Project Penelope. Project Penelope began as a college philosophy project in 2001 centered around personal transformation and has evolved into a reinvention framework that I have personally used throughout different seasons of my life for more than two decades. I am now developing it into a guided workbook, coaching program, and future book called The Art of Reinvention. ABOUT THE WORKBOOK Project Penelope™ is a guided reinvention journal designed to help women: • Reflect on who they are today • Explore who they have been • Clarify who they are becoming • Create a vision for their future • Build an intentional reinvention plan This is not a traditional coaching workbook. I want it to feel like a beautiful coffee-table journal, personal retreat guide, and self-discovery experience. DESIGN DIRECTION The aesthetic should feel: • Editorial • Elevated • Warm and inviting • Minimalist • Sophisticated • Thoughtful • Timeless Visual inspiration: • Kinfolk • Magnolia Journal • The Class • To Be Magnetic • Modern wellness brands • European lifestyle books • Quiet luxury COLOR PALETTE • Warm cream • Bone • Soft white • Oatmeal • Camel • Walnut • Olive • Muted gold accents TYPOGRAPHY Elegant serif headings paired with clean modern sans-serif body text. DELIVERABLES I am looking for help with: • Interior workbook design • Page layout • Section divider pages • Reflection pages • Journal pages • Custom worksheets • Visual diagrams • Cover design • Print-ready PDF • Amazon KDP-ready version • Canva-editable source files WORKBOOK CONTENT The workbook is expected to be approximately 80–120 pages and will include sections such as: Part 1: The Woman I Am Part 2: The Woman I Have Been Part 3: The Penelope Map Part 4: The Woman I Am Becoming Part 5: The Alter Ego Project Part 6: Reinvention Plan IDEAL DESIGNER I am looking for someone who has experience designing: • Guided journals • Personal development workbooks • Wellness publications • Editorial layouts • High-end PDF products • Books or journals for print Please send examples of similar projects you have completed, along with your process, timeline, and pricing. My goal is to create something women will not only use, but treasure and return to for years. Thank you, and I look forward to learning more about your work.
