Textbook Series Design & Layout

I’m preparing a multi-volume textbook series for Grades 3–8 and need a seasoned graphic designer to bring a polished, school-ready look to both the covers and interiors.

Visual direction
The overall tone must be formal and academic—think clean lines, structured grids, and restrained colour accents that still feel inviting to young learners without veering into “playful”. Consistency across volumes is essential so each book feels part of a coherent set.

Interior focus areas
• Chapter opening pages and headings—these should signal clear hierarchy and create strong first impressions.
• Activity boxes, tips, and key information—use subtle yet distinctive iconography or shading so teachers and students can locate supportive material at a glance.

Workflow
All text, images, and diagrams will be fully supplied before layout begins, allowing you to concentrate on typography, spacing, and graphic elements rather than content generation. I’ll deliver final manuscripts in Word and visuals as high-res files; you can work in Adobe InDesign, Affinity Publisher, or an equivalent professional tool.

Deliverables
• Print-ready PDF and native files for each cover and interior
• A packaged set of fonts and linked assets
• A brief style guide (colour, fonts, icon usage) to keep future volumes consistent

If you’ve previously handled educational publishing or large multi-book projects, I’d love to see those samples. When you message me, please include a link to your portfolio, a short note on comparable projects, and your estimated timeline. I’m ready to start as soon as we confirm scope and milestones.
