Book Graphic Designer

Peacock Design Solutions is looking for aBook Graphic Designer to lay out and typeset books for publishers,educational imprints and self-publishing authors. You will work on picture books,textbooks, novels, workbooks and coffee-table titles — handling interiors, coversand the prepress files that go to the printer.

Key Responsibilities

• Lay out and typeset book interiors — picture books, textbooks, novels, workbooks and activity books.
• Build master pages, paragraph and character styles so a whole book stays consistent.
• Design book covers including front, spine and back, with spine width calculated from the printer's paper spec.
• Place and position illustrations, photographs and diagrams within the text flow.
• Set front matter and back matter — title pages, copyright, contents, index and appendices.
• Apply correct bleed, margin, gutter and safety areas for the binding method in use.
• Prepare print-ready CMYK PDFs and run preflight before handover.
• Produce EPUB and fixed-layout digital editions where required.
• Incorporate proofreader and author corrections across revision rounds without breaking the layout.
• Package source files with fonts and links, and keep project folders tidy for reprints.
• Coordinate with illustrators, editors and the printer to keep schedules on track.

Required Skills

• Strong working knowledge of Adobe InDesign — master pages, styles, threading and tables.
• Good command of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator for image and vector work.
• Solid typography fundamentals: type hierarchy, leading, tracking, widows, orphans and rivers.
• Understanding of print production — CMYK, bleed, trim, imposition and paper stock.
• Ability to work to a grid and keep a 200-page book visually consistent.
• Experience preparing press-ready PDFs and resolving preflight errors.
• Font licensing awareness and careful font management.
• Accuracy under revision pressure, and the patience to proof your own pages.
• Clear communication with editors, authors and printers.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with trade publishers, educational imprints or self-publishing platforms.
• Familiarity with Amazon KDP and IngramSpark interior and cover specifications.
• Experience setting multilingual or bilingual books.
• EPUB production and accessibility basics for digital editions.
• Basic InDesign scripting or GREP styles for repetitive formatting.
• Working knowledge of Affinity Publisher or CorelDRAW.

Tamil language reading and typesetting ability is preferred and treated as an added advantage.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree or Diploma in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Printing Technology or a related field.
• 1–3 years of professional book or publication design experience.
• A portfolio showing complete books, not only single pages or covers.

What We're Looking For

Show us a book you set from manuscript to press. We'd rather see one 120-page title youfinished properly — with the interior, the cover and the press PDF — than twenty unrelateddesign samples. If you can explain a layout problem you hit and how you solved it, thatcounts for more than the software list on your CV.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary based on experience and portfolio.
• Work on real published titles for Indian and international clients.
• A collaborative team of illustrators, editors and designers.
• Exposure to the full publishing pipeline, from manuscript to printed copy.
• Support for learning new tools and production techniques.
