What You Will Do


Build structurally stable, print-ready book layouts from raw manuscripts, artwork, and style briefs.


Create production-safe templates from design drafts—translating sample pages or design intentions into scalable, correction-resistant InDesign systems.


Establish and maintain typographic rhythm, spacing logic, grid systems, and page architecture across multi-chapter documents.


Solve real production issues such as reflow failures, image–text conflicts, baseline inconsistencies, and layout stability problems.


Ensure prepress-clean output that behaves predictably during export, colour conversion, and print workflows.


Apply an advanced understanding of colour—using palettes, contrast, and tonal hierarchy intelligently for clarity and aesthetics.


Work closely with editors, QA, illustrators, and project managers to ensure design integrity and consistent quality.


Deliver files that can withstand multiple editorial rounds without breaking structure.


---


What You Must Bring


4+ years of proven experience in book layout and long-document production.


Ability to engineer InDesign files that remain stable through corrections, artwork updates, and multi-stage reviews.


Strong grasp of typography, visual hierarchy, white space, and page balance for both text-heavy and illustrated books.


Expertise in diagnosing and resolving structural layout issues at the root (not with cosmetic fixes).


High accuracy, production discipline, and understanding of global publishing expectations.


---


Nice to Have


Illustrator (diagram cleanup, vector refinement)


Photoshop (image optimisation, tonal corrections)


EPUB / Accessible PDF experience


InDesign automation or GREP-based efficiency techniques


---


Who Will Succeed Here


Designers who treat books as systems, not individual pages


Production specialists who value precision, consistency, and stability


Professionals who can justify layout decisions based on design principles, not guesswork
