Top Frequently Asked Questions
What does a book designer do?
Like National Geographic and magazine publishers like Condé Nast, all of the major trade publishers from Ballantine and Bantam Dell to Scholastic, Dorling Kindersley, all the Random House imprints like Doubleday, Knopf and Penguin Young Readers to Spain's Editorial Planeta SL and Germany's Aufbau-Verlag, require capable interior book designers with a meticulous eye for color and the book production and printing standards of good layout. Book designers play a key role in making books enjoyable experiences to read.

Their typography skills for building well-structured InDesign files, design book projects with interiors that are complementary to cover designs and they input corrections throughout the book making process. This applies across an eclectic spectrum of subject matter from literary fiction to children's and Young Adult books to dramatic non-fiction and four-color projects from sports to biography. Future eBook production and trade print runs therefore depend on the work of these important book designers who work with Production Editorial teams to ensure the manuscript and InDesign document are coded complementarily and coding best practices are applied rigorously from manuscript to finished Adobe InDesign files.
The best freelance book designers have in-house book, magazine, product or marketing design experience (working with Art Departments daily) with a portfolio that exudes competency in well-structured book design skills; fluency in reading and implementing proofreaders marks; and mastery of book composition standards in the context of Adobe Creative Cloud suite -particularly InDesign.

Any freelance designer should be able to casually refer to work in their portfolio that shows their freelance experience manipulating illustrations and photos in Adobe Photoshop, creating and manipulating vector art Illustrator and Acrobat Pro, with sound knowledge of pre-press and downstream four-color printing processes. Proficiency in Office365 esp. Microsoft Word and Excel is only part of the picture; their ability to deliver text-based book interior designs in Indesign with converting, cropping, adjusting, and correcting art and book files, in addition to using enterprise Digital Asset Management (DAM) software to validate and deliver files to printers and working with ERP and composition service vendors should be in strong evidence.
