I am looking for an exceptional editorial designer / publication designer / art director to professionally rebuild and produce a premium illustrated book called THE WORLD, part of a Christian boxed experience called YAVO — WHO IS JESUS. This is a 60-page book consisting of 30 two-page spreads. Each spread visually immerses the reader in the historical world surrounding a biblical passage through cinematic imagery, archaeology, architecture, geography, maps, artifacts, cultural context, and sophisticated editorial storytelling. This is not a traditional devotional, workbook, novel layout, or simple book-formatting project. The finished book should feel closer to a combination of a: museum publication archaeological field guide premium historical coffee-table book luxury editorial publication The visual direction is already highly developed. IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING For each spread, I will provide a highly developed flattened visual mockup that acts as the primary blueprint for the design. The mockup will show: overall composition intended hero imagery supporting images maps or archaeological elements text placement hierarchy colors overlays visual storytelling general cropping and scale overall mood and direction I will also provide the final written copy separately. However, I will NOT be supplying all of the visual elements from the mockup as separate source files. There are no pre-existing images for the spreads. The designer will be responsible for professionally recreating the spread from the mockup, including sourcing, generating, rebuilding, or otherwise creating the individual visual assets required for the final production layout. I do not expect you to cut images out of the flattened mockup. Think of the mockup as an extremely detailed art direction blueprint. Your job is to take that blueprint and rebuild it properly using high-resolution, commercially usable assets and professional editorial design techniques. For example, a mockup may contain: a cinematic reconstruction of a biblical location an archaeological artifact a historical map architectural details texture or atmospheric elements small supporting images labels and editorial callouts You would recreate or source those elements independently and assemble the final spread as a fully editable professional publication. Your Role Your job is to take each supplied mockup and preserve its visual concept and narrative while elevating the execution. That includes: recreating the visual composition sourcing or creating suitable high-resolution imagery recreating maps, diagrams, artifacts, or supporting graphics when necessary improving typography refining spacing and alignment improving image integration refining masks, crops, fades, overlays, and layering maintaining consistent visual quality throughout the book preparing every spread properly in Adobe InDesign ensuring all imagery meets professional print-resolution standards handling bleed, color, linked assets, and prepress correctly I am not looking for someone to completely reinterpret every spread. The creative direction will already be established. I want someone capable of taking a strong mockup and turning it into a world-class, production-ready version of that concept.

Hi, I’m Steve from Pixel Inq, a Melbourne-based graphic and web design business with more than 14 years of experience in editorial design, long-document production, InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. THE WORLD is not a standard formatting job. Each of the 30 spreads must preserve the supplied narrative blueprint while being rebuilt as a publication using high-resolution, commercially usable imagery, maps, artefacts and supporting graphics. This is where senior design judgement and disciplined production matter. I can translate each flattened mockup into an organised, editable InDesign spread, refining typography, hierarchy, spacing, masks, overlays and image integration while maintaining consistency across this 60-page book. I’ll also manage linked assets, bleed, colour and print resolution carefully so the work holds up as a museum-quality coffee-table publication. What you get • Faithful reconstruction of the established art direction • Consistent editorial systems across all 30 spreads • Professionally sourced or rebuilt visual elements • Organised InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator files • Thorough prepress preparation and packaged handover My combination of publication design, image production and prepress knowledge makes Pixel Inq a reliable choice for a project of this scale and ambition. Relevant samples are available on my Freelancer profile and at https://pixelinq.net.au. I’d be pleased to help bring YAVO to production at the standard it deserves. Steve

THE WORLD's scope, 30 two-page spreads built from your flattened mockups with fully rebuilt/sourced imagery, is exactly the kind of complex, blueprint-driven editorial production I specialize in. I've spent years as an editorial and packaging designer for leading multinational consumer brands (under NDA), building layouts in InDesign that hold up at print quality across long, image-heavy documents while staying strictly on-brief. My approach: I'd start with 2-3 sample spreads for your sign-off on asset sourcing/recreation style and print specs, then move in batches of about 8-10 spreads through the remaining book, with a final prepress pass (bleed, color, linked files, preflight). Deliverables: fully packaged InDesign files, print-ready PDF/X, and organized source assets per spread. Could you share 2-3 of the developed mockups so I can gauge the asset-sourcing effort and confirm your target print size and paper spec before I finalize the milestone plan?

Hello!⚡ Rebuilding THE WORLD book spreads from detailed flattened mockups is a complex editorial design challenge. The hard part is sourcing or recreating high-res, print-ready visual assets to match the cinematic and archaeological style without original source files. I will follow your Adobe InDesign workflow closely, preserving the visual concept and narrative while elevating execution. I start by analyzing each mockup’s composition and asset needs. Then I source or digitally recreate maps, artifacts, and textures with commercial licenses. Next, I refine typography, spacing, and layering for print quality. Last, I deliver fully editable InDesign spreads ready for prepress. The first deliverable will be a fully rebuilt two-page spread sample for your review. I recently completed a luxury editorial guide where I rebuilt complex layouts from concept mockups, handling sourcing and image recreation under tight print specs. This experience matches your risk of asset recreation without originals. My bid covers the full 60-page book with consistent quality and print prep. 1. Are there any preferred image sources or licenses you require for asset sourcing? 2. Should I prioritize digital recreation or licensed stock images for archaeological elements? 3. Will you provide access to any brand or style guides beyond the mockups and copy? Thanks. Hassan
