Summary

I’m creating a premium hardcover recipe journal in Adobe InDesign for chefs, bakers, culinary students, and home cooks. The journal is already designed and laid out—I am NOT looking for a complete redesign. I’m looking for an experienced editorial designer to professionally refine and polish my existing InDesign file. This is not a novel, Kindle, or eBook project. Most of the journal consists of repeated template pages (100 identical recipe spreads, photo index pages, and notes pages). The unique pages include the ownership page, welcome page, kitchen reference pages, how-to page, and an example recipe. I’m looking for someone to: * Improve typography and recommend premium font pairings * Refine spacing, margins, alignment, and overall visual hierarchy * Create consistent paragraph and character styles * Polish the layout while preserving my design concept * Proofread for spelling, grammar, and consistency * Prepare the file for professional printing (print-ready PDF and packaged InDesign files) The style should be minimal, timeless, clean, and premium, similar to Moleskine or other luxury journals.
