Requirements:

- Strong eye for classic and elegant layouts
- Ability to curate and organize photos meaningfully
- Attention to detail and high-quality output
I have 43 or so photos and have already grouped them as to what goes on each page. I would like a cover photo that I have chosen with some text THE USUAL SUSPECTS .... We will miss you on it
I have tried so many programs and cannot do it myself
Classic hardcover -standard definition- landscape or square ( not layflat) gloss or matte pages
I am aged and have some issues with my vision spending a long time on a computer and no creative skills
I need the finished book by no later than 20 November

Ideal Skills and Experience:

- Timely delivery within budget

Please share your portfolio and a brief proposal. Looking forward to collaborating!
