Job Type:

Description:



This is a project which you will do every month. The project is for three
months. It is a monhtly publication, which will be published in PDF format. You
must create it using QuarkExpress for the PC and supply us with a high-quality
PDF and the source files. We publish other weekly and monthlies in the same
format and you can find links to those magazines at
http://www.possibilitymedia.com/emags/ .

Each month the editor will supply you with text files and you will need to
create a publication with the files sent. The editor will tell you how many
pages the magazine must be (normally 64 but see note below) when he sends the
files, and you must create an issue with that number of pages. It's obviously
quite easy to stretch it if need be, but you will likely have more material than
needed for the amount of pages required.

We do not supply graphics, and it will be up to you to get them, but more often
than not a graphic is available at a company's web site, either their logo, an
image of the person the article is about, a product shot etc. Sometimes the
editor will suggest something for the cover, other times it will be entirely up
to you.

This is not a difficult job for a good designer, and while we don't require
award winning layouts and graphics every issue, we do want it to have a very
professional look and feel, with a great sense of style to it.

The great part of this project is that you have a great deal of creative
freedom, within certain limits.

The project requires that you are able to create the publication (an average of
64 pages) in 72 hours of receipt of the text, which will be available no later
than 4:00pm EST (that's GMT –5 hours) on the 25th of the month, and the
publication must be ready by 4:00 PM EST on the 29th of the month. This is the
same process our other titles follow and the graphic designers doing them have
no problems with the time-line, neither should you..

You must have a Broadband Internet connection to bid on this project and we
will no consider anyone who does not have this. The first issue will publish at
the end of September 2005 and you must also be available to start by September
30th, 2005 and be able to perform the work every week as required.

You MUST be able to show us your work, and be willing to create a 12 page
sample publication in 12 hours as proof of your ability, so if you do not wish
to produce a sample as described, please don't bother to bid. There is no pay
for creating the sample since it is content from an issue that has already been
published, so there is nothing for us to gain from having you do it, except to
be sure you are capable.

You can find the text for the sample here: www.spweekly.com/649content.zip You
will need to create a cover and layout for the contents page and staff box, as
well as 10 pages for the inside, which should have a number of double-spreads.

Please note we count double-spreads as single pages, so the total page count
although only 48 (plus cover and contents) is actually more, due to the spreads.

This will develop to a long-term project for the right person.

Please place your bid for producing the publication every month, and note that
this means some months will have five issues in them while others have only
four, but you will be paid the same amount every month regardless of how many
weeks there are in the month.

You will also be responsible for creating in-house promos for the magazine as
required.

The maximum budget for this project is $150 per month.

You will be paid on the 15th of every month for the preceding month. If these
terms are not acceptable to you, please don't bother to bid as we NEVER change
our terms of business. Your bid on this project is your explicit acceptance of
these terms.
