Graphic Designer for Tribute Book

We are seeking a graphic designer to create a polished tribute/dedication book for a teacher who is leaving after many years. The book will include about 30 pages of personal letters from students, families, and friends, plus photographs. We will provide all content. The designer should create an elegant, warm, and professional layout, format the letters consistently, design the front and back cover, incorporate photos thoughtfully, and create a few special opening or dedication pages. The final product should feel timeless, dignified, and meaningful, with the letters as the main focus. Please include examples of book layouts, tribute books, yearbooks, photo books, magazines, or other multi-page editorial projects. When applying, please also share your experience with print-ready PDFs and editable source files.
