InDesign editorial designer and information graphics Project: Bellringer field guides and blueprints Engagement: Freelance, Phase 1 with potential ongoing work Primary tools: Adobe InDesign (required), Illustrator (preferred), Acrobat for preflight and QC Location and time zone: Remote OK, we work on Australia east coast time About Bellringer Bellringer works at the intersection of place, people, and commercial performance. We help shape streets, precincts, and ground-plane uses such as retail, hospitality, community, cultural, and wellbeing spaces so they are both economically viable and genuinely human. We publish field guides, blueprints, and monograph-style documents that communicate our thinking clearly, credibly, and calmly. These are not marketing brochures. They are editorial publications that should read like a premium design and strategy journal. We are looking for a designer who is as disciplined about typography and document craft as they are about visual quality. Phase 1 scope 1) Information graphic for an article We need one information graphic for an article. It is a target or bullseye-style diagram, relatively simple in structure but requiring strong hierarchy, spacing, and typographic clarity. You will: * Translate our content structure and labels into a clear, professional diagram * Establish hierarchy using type size, weight, and spacing * Ensure the diagram feels native to the Bellringer publication style Deliverables: * Editable source file (.ai preferred, or InDesign-native if built there) * Exports suitable for print and PDF use (PDF plus SVG or PNG as required) 2) Refine an existing InDesign document (60 pages, image-heavy) The first InDesign project is a 60-page field guide that is highly image-led, with repeated page modules, short text blocks, captions, diagrams, and image credits. We will provide the full packaged InDesign document, including: * The working .indd file * All linked images and required assets We will also provide a PDF reference copy of the same document so you can quickly assess layout complexity and assist with accurate scoping and costing before starting. This task is not a redesign. It is a refinement and quality-control pass to bring the document to a publication-ready standard. Document character and context * Strong visual layouts with full-bleed and multi-image spreads * Repeated content modules such as profiles and image grids * Short body copy blocks, but high frequency of captions, labels, headings, and lists * Front matter, repeated interior layouts, and image credits at the back Typography still matters deeply here, even though the document is image-heavy. Core responsibilities Editorial typography and layout refinement (InDesign) You will: * Audit and clean the InDesign file and standardise systems: * Paragraph, character, and object styles * Master pages, grids, alignment, and spacing rules * Consistent font usage, hierarchy, and specifications * Carry out a detailed typographic QC pass, with specific attention to widows: * Identify and fix widows in body copy and other text blocks * Address orphans, runts, awkward line breaks, poor hyphenation, bad rags, and spacing issues * Fix issues systemically using styles and keep options wherever possible, not manual nudges * Ensure consistency across repeated elements: * Headings and subheadings * Captions and image credits * Lists, bullets, and spec-style text * Page numbers, footers, and section markers * Prepare the document for publishing: * Preflight checks * Linked asset hygiene * Export web-ready PDF, and print-ready PDF if required (specs to be confirmed) Information graphics (now and potentially ongoing) You will: * Translate structured ideas into clear, well-hierarchised diagrams * Ensure diagrams integrate seamlessly with the document typography and layout system * Deliver editable, reusable assets rather than flattened images Non-negotiable skills Please only apply if you can confidently demonstrate: * Advanced Adobe InDesign capability for long-form documents * Strong editorial typography fundamentals, especially: * Confidently spotting and fixing widows * Good judgement with spacing, hyphenation, and hierarchy * A systems-first mindset: * You solve problems with styles and structure, not ad hoc fixes * Comfort working with image-heavy layouts and repeated modules Nice to have * Illustrator skills for diagram creation * Experience with reports, field guides, research publications, or strategy documents * Comfort working within an existing brand and elevating it through discipline rather than reinvention What we will provide * Fully packaged InDesign document (.indd with all linked images) * PDF reference copy for review and costing * Bellringer publication and style references * Clear direction, consolidated feedback, and a single point of contact Deliverables 1. Bullseye diagram * Editable source file * Exported formats as agreed 1. Refined 60-page InDesign document * Updated .indd file (and .idml if required) * Packaged handover of working files * Final exported PDF files per agreed specification 1. Short style and QC handover note * Brief summary of typographic rules applied * Any global style decisions made * Any issues flagged for content review rather than design Quoting guidance We want accurate, transparent pricing. Please provide either: Option A: Fixed fee * Fixed price for the 60-page document refinement, with inclusions clearly stated * Fixed price for the bullseye diagram Option B: Hourly with estimate * Hourly rate * Estimated hours for: * Document refinement * Diagram creation * Clear assumptions (for example, no major re-layout, assets supplied and usable) We will share the packaged InDesign file and PDF upfront so pricing can be based on the real file, not guesswork. How to apply Please send: 1. Portfolio link plus 2 to 3 relevant samples: * At least one long-form InDesign document * At least one information graphic or diagram 1. Short written responses to: * How do you handle widow control in InDesign in practice? * How do you keep a 60-page document typographically consistent? * What versions of InDesign and Illustrator are you running? 1. Your availability over the next few weeks Selection criteria We will select based on: * Evidence of publication-grade typography in real documents * Clean, system-based InDesign workflow * Diagram clarity and restraint * Responsiveness and ability to take feedback without design drift

Hello, I have carefully read and fully understood your requirement for Phase 1 of Bellringer’s field guides and blueprints, including the creation of a bullseye-style information graphic and the refinement of a 60-page image-heavy InDesign document. I understand that this is not a redesign but a typographic and layout quality-control pass, ensuring consistency across repeated modules, captions, headings, and diagrams, while maintaining the editorial, premium tone of Bellringer publications. My approach will be systematic and style-driven. For the 60-page document, I will audit all paragraph, character, and object styles, master pages, grids, and spacing rules. I will address widows, orphans, hyphenation, line breaks, and hierarchy using styles rather than manual adjustments. For the bullseye diagram, I will translate structured content into a clear, professional, typographically integrated diagram using Illustrator or InDesign, delivering fully editable assets and export-ready files. PORTFOLIO: https://www.freelancer.com/u/AneesaIBA?w=f&ngsw-bypass= Can you confirm any specific output sizes or resolution requirements for the diagram? Are there any strict font licensing restrictions I should be aware of? If you are seeking disciplined typographic refinement and precise, reusable information graphics, I am ready to start immediately and deliver a publication-ready result with clear documentation for ongoing work.

Hello I’ve read the Bellringer brief carefully and this is exactly the kind of editorial work I specialise in. I work primarily in Adobe InDesign on long-form, image-led publications where typographic discipline, systems, and calm clarity matter more than decoration. I have strong experience refining existing InDesign documents rather than redesigning them—cleaning paragraph and character styles, fixing widows and poor rags, standardising captions, credits, and repeated modules, and preparing files to true publication-ready standard using preflight and QC checks. For the bullseye-style information graphic, I regularly build Illustrator diagrams that integrate seamlessly with editorial typography and remain fully editable and reusable rather than flattened. My workflow is systems-first: master pages, styles, grids, and keep options are used to solve issues globally, not manually. I’m comfortable working image-heavy, respecting existing brand tone, and elevating documents through restraint and consistency. I’m available to work within Australia east coast time and can start Phase 1 immediately. Portfolio https://www.freelancer.com/u/Humaumair12 Regards Huma

For the Bellringer field guides project, do you want the bullseye diagram to strictly follow a template style, or is there flexibility for subtle visual refinements to improve clarity and hierarchy? I can refine your 60-page, image-heavy InDesign document to publication-ready standard while ensuring typographic consistency, clean style usage, and master-page alignment across repeated modules. Using a systems-first approach, I’ll audit paragraph and character styles, fix widows, orphans, hyphenation, and spacing issues, and maintain visual hierarchy throughout captions, headings, lists, and footers. The bullseye diagram will be created with clear typographic hierarchy and editable source files, seamlessly integrating with the publication’s style. To ensure smooth delivery, would you like me to provide a brief style and QC handover note highlighting the global typographic decisions and any flagged content issues alongside the final files?
