Formatting/designing 6 print ready Math books

Dear Freelancers, We require a graphic designer to work on formatting and layout of 6 Math books and create a front cover and back cover for these books (Similar cover / 6 variations). The content to be put in the books will be given in pdf format along with the source files. Each book is about 150 pages long. What we need to get done is in 2 parts: A. Cover Design: Design a front and back cover for these books. This is a series of books on math problems for students in Grades 1 to 6. The cover has to reflect the intent of the book plus the target audience (children in the specific grades) and the decision maker (parents) who will decide to buy the book. The cover for all these books need to reflect that they are part of a series. More ideas will be discussed later. B.: Making a standard template for content Layout and Formatting of 6 books. Specific tasks are: 1. Preparing the standard template of the book to 8.5" x 11" with 0.5" margin on top, bottom and side and 0.75" gutter. There will be one question per page. More specific details will be discussed prior to the project commencement. 2. A logo has to be added to each page 3. Page numbering will have to be done 4. An index has to be created. 5. Preface/ Introduction pages will need to be added (will be provided) 6. Solutions of questions have to be put in the end. (Will be provided) The final output will need to be in print ready PDF format, 300 dpi and must be ready to print with all the necessary technical printing specifications in place. You should be willing to accept feedback if we require any changes to your output prior to submission of the final file. In case any specific things have been left out in this description you should be ready to accommodate those as we work along the project. After submission of the final file, it’ll take about 4 days to process the last milestone payment as we’ll need to verify by proofreading/printing that you followed all the formatting requirements. You will be requested to sign non-disclosure form as all discussions/emails regarding the book are confidential. You will not be entitled to any copyright rights, royalties, claim or privileges to the book. You will release total and complete rights to the book, images and illustrations. Please send samples so we can see your design work to assess suitability for cover design. You may also prepare a template of the pages attached with this description. A prior experience with book publishing would certainly be preferred. This is very urgent work and we need high quality output with a fast turnaround. Thanks for your interest and Best Regards
