IMPORTANT NOTE: Long-term Project. To ensure that we onboard the best fit for this project, we provided a sample PDF. Interested designers are to convert this into an interactive web-accessible version, addressing the mentioned key areas.
Proposals without the SAMPLE PDF that they converted into a AN INTERACTIVE WEB-ACCESSIBLE VERSION will not be accepted.
Background: In today's fast-paced digital world, interactive and web-accessible PDFs and magazines have become indispensable. As we aim to grow our digital footprint and cater to a more diverse audience in the UK, it is essential that our content not only looks aesthetically pleasing but also meets accessibility standards.
Objective: We are seeking an adept and innovative designer for a long-term project focused on the monthly design and enhancement of our publications – turning traditional PDFs into interactive, web-accessible documents. This will encompass our monthly magazine issues as well as various other PDFs as they arise.
Scope of Work:
Monthly Magazine Enhancement: Work with our editorial team to convert the static designs into interactive digital versions, ensuring that the design retains its aesthetic appeal.
Interactive PDFs: Every month, different PDFs – ranging from reports, newsletters, to brochures – will be handed over for conversion into interactive formats.
Digital Accessibility: It's imperative that all converted PDFs adhere to web accessibility guidelines. This would include: Document structure and clarity. Optimisation of Page Content. Inclusion of Alternate text for images and graphics. Formatting and structuring of Tables. Creation and management of Lists. Proper use and sequencing of Headings.
Optimisation: While it's not obligatory, designers are encouraged to create a second copy of any document if they believe there's significant room for optimisation. This is a chance to showcase creativity and proficiency.
Qualification Test: To ensure that we onboard the best fit for this project, we are provided a sample PDF. Interested designers are to convert this into an interactive web-accessible version, addressing the mentioned key areas. Any additional enhancements or elements added will be considered favourably in the selection process.
Location and Collaboration: This project is based in the UK; however, considering the digital nature of the work, it can be completed remotely. Regular online meetings and updates will be essential to ensure alignment with our brand's vision and objectives.
Duration: This is a long-term engagement of at least 16-24 months, with the exact duration to be determined based on the performance and the evolving needs of our brand.
