Posted 4 weeks ago

Summary

I am looking for an elite, detail-oriented layout designer to build the print-ready interior PDF for a 31-day tactical execution workbook titled "The Trench Code." This is an intense, raw, and minimalist manual. The aesthetic needs to be heavy, industrial, and aggressive. No soft styles, no corporate planner filler. Project & Technical Specifications: Final Trim Size: Crown Quarto (7.44 x 9.68 inches) Binding Type: Coil Bound / Spiral (Lulu print specs) Margin Rules: Margins must handle the mechanical spiral punch. Top/Bottom/Outer at 0.5 or 0.75 inches; Inner Margin (Gutter) must be set to a safe 0.75 inches minimum so text and fields are never pierced by the coil. Typography Vibe: High-contrast, sharp, and commanding. Heavy sans-serif display fonts for headers (e.g., Bebas Neue, Impact, or Inter Black) and a crisp, high-visibility sans-serif for body text. Layout Structure: Strict Two-Page Spread per Day. Page 1 is the daily blueprint/commands. Page 2 is "The Recon" (interactive handwritten logging). Text must never awkwardly bleed over to a third page. Interactive Fields: No generic blank underlines. All response fields must use clean, single-cell grid/table boxes with thin charcoal borders so the user has dedicated space to write with a pen. Milestone & Delivery Structure: To ensure our visual alignment is locked in, this project will be split into two milestones: 1 Milestone 1 (The Concept Proof): Design and format Days 1–3 only. We will review the grids, fonts, spacing, and tone. We will tweak until it hits perfectly. 2 Milestone 2 (The Full Deployment): Apply the approved style across the remaining days of the manuscript and deliver the final print-ready PDF. To Apply, Please Reply With: 1 A brief line showing you understand the Crown Quarto coil binding margin requirements. 2 One or two samples from your portfolio that feature clean grid boxes, interactive workbooks, or a sharp, minimalist design. 3 Your flat rate for a completed manuscript of this scope (under 100 total pages)
