Description:



PLEASE READ THE DETAILS CAREFULLY

This is a project which you will do every week. The project is for three
months.I t is a weekly publication, which will be published in PDF format. You
must create it using QuarkExpress for the PC. We publish other weekly in the
same format and you can find the archives of that magazine at
www.spweekly.com/artengine/publish.php and you will need to click on the “login”
link on the right and enter guest and test for the user/password, and after you
login you will see a link to the archives in the right column, below a small
magazine cover image.

Each week 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 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 week, we do want it to have a
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 in 48 hours of
receipt of the text, which will be available no later than 4:00pm EST (that's
GMT –5 hours) on a Tuesday, and the publication must be ready by 4:00 PM EST on
Thursday. 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
20th, 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 8 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 31 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 32 (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 $300 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.
