Expected duration: 1 - 2 weeks Hello! I am looking for a careful and detail-oriented Illustrator & Indesign artworker to help me edit and prepare text / typography based artworks for high-quality giclée printing.
The task is basically editing/creating threaded text boxes in vector-based map outlines, and placing a huge amount of text inside. There are 13 map shapes. There are very specific criteria for how I need this done, hence the detailed brief. I also need you to create 4 swatches of the text so I can test print.
Please confirm you have read the attached pdf brief in full, and are happy you can deliver against the detailed specification / criteria - please do not apply if you're not 100% sure you can deliver against the detail.
The files are vector map outlines with columns of text fill. They are then filled completely with very small pt text (approx 170,000 words).
Vector maps with columns are already created (except 2). But some need adjusting and columns recreating. Two files need creating from the vector map outlines which are supplied. Preserving the fine detailing of the map outlines is absolutely essential. They must not be smoothed out.
Because there is so much text, Adobe Illustrator will run very slowly. Therefore, we must use both Illustrator and InDesign. You will create the shapes in Illustrator, standardise the source files (there are three artboard sizes), and then move them to InDesign for the text formatting. I will edit the text in Indesign. Please read the steps below and te pdf brief carefully. It's really important that the details of this brief are understood and followed so we don’t have rework.
NOTE: we’ll get the First map set up and run the print test so we can choose the font and paper type. Only then will we proceed to fix the other maps.
1) Create the art-boards in illustrator and create or edit the map outlines and the text columns 2) Create an Indesign template and place the maps in, and apply exact settings as specified. 3) Create the 'colour test swatches' so I can send to print. Then I will adjust text fitting in Indesign and return the files to you 4) Make final layout adjustments 5) Prepare files for high quality print export
Timings: First map - 2 days Test strip swatches 1 day Other Maps - 4 days Print export preparation - 1 day
These timings are for you, and don't include the time for me to edit the text which will be additional. I have time during the easter weekend so
