I’m preparing a children’s book for physical release and need a professional layout that looks perfect on the printed page. The book is in Arabic and another version in Englsih. The final trim size is 8 × 10 inches, so every spread must respect that dimension along with the correct margins, bleeds, and gutter. Here’s what I will supply: the manuscript, the full-resolution illustrations, and any front- or back-matter text. What I’m looking for in return is a press-ready PDF (and the native file, ideally produced in Adobe InDesign or an equivalent professional tool) that a print-on-demand service can accept without further tweaks. Please flow the text, place the images, make page numbers and headers consistent, and ensure colour profiles remain vibrant for children’s market printing standards. If you’ve formatted print books for kids before—and understand how to balance playful design with readability—I’d love to see samples. # Job Title Children’s STEM Book Designer Needed for English and Arabic Editions # Job Description We are looking for an experienced children’s book designer and layout specialist to design a STEM book for readers aged 8–12. The book will be published in both English and Arabic, so the ideal freelancer should have experience designing bilingual or multilingual publications and should understand both left-to-right and right-to-left layouts. ## Scope of Work The selected designer will be responsible for: * Creating an engaging and professional interior layout for a children’s STEM book * Designing both the English and Arabic editions * Applying a clear and consistent typography system * Formatting chapters, headings, body text, activities, captions, side notes, and diagram labels * Designing activity pages, experiments, educational callout boxes, and STEM-related content * Ensuring Arabic text is correctly formatted from right to left * Handling mixed Arabic and English text, numbers, units, scientific terms, and equations * Creating a consistent visual style across both language editions * Preparing print-ready files according to the required printer or publishing specifications * Providing editable source files A typography and formatting guide will be provided, including recommended font sizes, line spacing, heading hierarchy, and readability requirements for children aged 8–12. ## Design Style The book should feel: * Modern * Educational * Imaginative * Child-friendly without appearing too young * Clear and easy to navigate * Suitable for parents, schools, and young readers The layout should balance text, illustrations, diagrams, activities, and white space.
