Finalize a 14-Page Corporate Editorial Design

Graphic Designer Needed: Final Polish of 14-Page Corporate Editorial PDF (90% Complete) **Project Type:** Editorial Design / Corporate Brochure / PDF Refinement **Scope:** 14 pages, existing layout provided **Industry:** International Recruitment & Immigration / Hospitality **Deliverables:** Final print-ready and digital PDFs, plus editable source files ### Project Overview We are looking for a talented graphic designer with strong editorial design experience to take an existing 14-page corporate publication through its final stage of design refinement. The document, **"Our Success Stories & Placement Record,"** is part of our International Workforce Program, developed for hospitality employers across Western Canada. We have already completed approximately 90% of the work using Claude AI, including the written content, overall editorial structure, page layouts, image placements, tables, and visual direction. **We are not looking for a complete redesign.** We need an experienced designer with a strong eye for detail, typography, composition, and corporate branding to elevate the existing mockup into a polished, professionally finished publication. ### Design References We will provide two PDFs: 1. **P04: Our Success Stories & Placement Record (14 pages)** – The existing mockup requiring final design refinement. 2. **International Workforce Program – Summary (4 pages)** – A companion publication establishing the visual identity and design language that P04 must complement. Both documents are part of the same marketing package and need to look like they were produced by the same professional design team. The Summary document is the primary branding reference for colour, typography, visual treatments, and overall corporate presentation. ### What We Need The existing mockup is substantially complete, but needs professional attention in several areas: - **Typography:** Refine font choices, sizing, weights, spacing, hierarchy, and consistency throughout. - **Layout and Composition:** Improve alignment, margins, whitespace, visual balance, and page-to-page consistency. - **Brand Continuity:** Bring P04 into closer alignment with the accompanying International Workforce Program Summary document. - **Photography:** Refine image cropping, positioning, sizing, and presentation. Improve photo-heavy pages where necessary. - **Editorial Design:** Polish the success story spreads, testimonial section, employer logos, and photo galleries. - **Tables and Data Presentation:** Improve the readability, alignment, spacing, and visual consistency of the multi-page placement records, while preserving all information. - **Finishing Details:** Address any awkward page breaks, inconsistent visual elements, cramped text, or other design issues that make the document feel unfinished. We welcome thoughtful design improvements where appropriate. The mockup should provide the foundation, not restrict a talented designer from making better visual decisions. ### Document Structure The 14-page document includes: - Cover and introductory photo collage - Individual success stories featuring internationally recruited hospitality professionals - Employer testimonials, Google rating, and trusted-client logos - Photo gallery of successful placements - Detailed placement records covering culinary, management, housekeeping, and maintenance roles The latter portion contains several pages of structured placement data, so strong typography and information-design skills are especially important. ### Important Expectations **This is a design refinement project, not a content development project.** All written content is provided and should remain unchanged unless we approve an adjustment. We are looking for someone who can independently assess what needs improving, make professional design decisions, and deliver a cohesive finished product without requiring detailed instructions for every page. Please do not simply run the document through an automated template, apply superficial formatting, or subcontract the work to another designer without approval. ### Final Deliverables - Professionally finished 14-page publication - High-resolution, print-ready PDF - Optimized PDF for digital distribution - Fully editable design source files (Adobe InDesign preferred, or equivalent professional software) - All linked assets and fonts properly packaged or identified - Final proofreading of layout integrity, with no missing text, clipped images, or formatting errors ### Ideal Freelancer We are particularly interested in designers with demonstrated experience producing: - Corporate brochures and capability statements - Editorial publications and magazines - Annual reports and company profiles - Recruitment, hospitality, or professional-services marketing materials - Information-dense publications with tables and structured content **Please include examples of similar multi-page editorial work in your proposal.** Generic social media design portfolios are not what we are looking for. ### Budget and Timeline We prefer a fixed-price project. Please quote based on the actual scope: refining and professionally finishing an existing 14-page mockup that is already approximately 90% developed, rather than creating an entirely new publication. We are ready to provide all materials immediately and would prefer a quick turnaround. **Our objective is simple: take a very good working mockup and give it the final 10% of professional design quality that makes the entire publication look exceptional.**
