Editorial Designer (Canva) for Premium Children's Keepsake Journal

Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are looking for a talented editorial designer to bring a fully written children's founder journal to life in Canva. This is not a writing project and it is not a project that requires inventing the educational content. The manuscript is already complete and includes detailed creative direction for every page. The goal is to transform the manuscript into a premium keepsake journal that feels beautiful, timeless, and professionally published. About the Project Saltwater Sisters is a premium children's lifestyle brand inspired by creativity, entrepreneurship, nature, and sisterhood. The journal teaches children how to become thoughtful young entrepreneurs through storytelling, reflection, workbook activities, and real founder stories. The finished journal will be approximately 38 pages. However, it has intentionally been designed around a small number of reusable page templates. Examples include: Chapter opener Editorial article Founder story Workbook page Reflection page The goal is consistency and elegance rather than creating a brand-new layout for every page. Design Style Looking for someone who can create something that feels: • Premium • Boutique • Whimsical but elevated • Colorful but timeless • Editorial rather than cartoon • Lots of white space • Children's publishing quality The journal should feel more like a beautifully designed boutique lifestyle brand than a traditional classroom workbook. Deliverables • Fully designed Canva document • Print-ready PDF • Editable Canva file • Reusable page templates throughout • Consistent typography and page hierarchy • Light decorative illustrations and graphic elements (Not looking for a fully hand-illustrated children's picture book.)
