Hello,
We are a book publisher and looking for an innovative designer to take on the design job for a book cover, animation, and typesetting pages for a children's book " THE BOY WHO WANTED TO MARRY HIS DOG".
The book consists of three stories:
The Boy who Wanted to Marry his Dog (5 MS Word pages)
Newton Fangle of New Sense (8 MS Word pages)
The Ugliest Animal in the World (16 MS Word pages)
The Cover concept is based on the first story "The Boy who Wanted to Marry his Dog' depicting the wedding scene, the boy, the dog dressed in wedding gown and everyone around them happy and cheering.
Dimension: 6x9"
Full color very attrative animation
Please find attached is the first story for yourr review and to start the cover concept.
The other two stories are a bit longer, 8 pages and 16 pages and have similar ideas, encouraging children to think for themselves.
The pages of the book will consist of combination of both color illustarations on one side of the pages and writings on the other. Final page count not to exceed 50 pages. The illustrated pages with conversation in them are not to be duplicated on the other side where writing appears, so it reads continuously.
Time-line:
1. Cover by 30-January-2011
2. Typeset of pages by 28-February-2011
Required files in Indesign.
Font size: 14
Font type: whatever is appealling for children and will check with Author on preference.
Also, we will require few options for the design to choose from as well as review options when all is done before finalization.
I look forward to your your bids.
Thnaks & Cheers

Hi,
I am an experienced Illustrator and Designer, able to illustrate in many styles using a variety of mediums. Please view my website to see my portfolio of work. I am also sending separately a Pdf of my Illustrations, in which there are samples of 2 of my most recent children's books I have illustrated. These involved developing characters and incorporating them into photographic backgrounds.
I am a little uncertain of how many illustrations are needed so I have estimated for 5 plus cover. I am very professional in my work and always make sure that everything I do reaches client expectations.
If successful I would do variations of the illustrations in coloured crayons and markers for approval, prior to finishing electronically. (or by hand if preferred).
Pleas do not hesitate to contact me if you require additional information.
Kind Regards
Robin Purllant
