Observer Research Foundation America (ORF America) is an independent, non-partisan public policy institute based in Washington DC. It is an overseas affiliate of the Observer Research Foundation (ORF), India’s premier non-government think tank.
ORF America is looking for a freelance layout artist to supplement our capacity for the layout of our Background Paper series, for situations when we have overflow. These publications are 12 pages, with between 2,000-3,000 words in the body, often with multiple infographics, charts, or figures. They also include a cover image and footnotes. We require a designer who can layout the full report starting from an uploaded Word Document and transitioning to a finished .pdf fileset within five business days of the job posting.
The layout tasking will include cover, cover image, text, graphics, and footnotes in a pre-existing format template and fonts for our Background Papers series, accomplished quickly and efficiently in .pdf, with versions for both digital and physical printing (i.e. with bleed marks) for saddle stitched reports. Strong candidates will have a demonstrated portfolio of layouts of printed publications, experience working off and following a pre-existing template for fixed rate jobs, ask questions, and respond to feedback and instructions directly and effectively.
