A graphic designer needs a Cambridge University Press chapter (16 pages) in a forthcoming textbook titled "Greening the Built Environment." See the instructions and the sample in the link below. All pages need an image except the first and last. The images will be photos, charts, and graphs. Part of the job will be resizing the photos, ensuring they are the correct resolution for print, and creating infographics. If you can help identify for photos, that would be ideal.
When applying for this job, please describe:
- Experience laying out textbooks in La Tex
- How many rounds of drafts?
- Availability of when to start?
- Estimate of how long this will take (the text is complete, but I'm still identifying photos and graphs that need to be created)
- Preferred method of communication
- Quote

Document Settings
The final manuscript that will be submitted to the publisher will be in LaTex format. Contributors who
are familiar with LaTex can use the Chapter-7 LaTex file as a template. Those using Word or Pages should
use the following document settings to ensure proper chapter length and minimal post-editing for LaTex.
- Font: Times 10 pt (no baseline shift)
- Top/Bottom Margins 3.88 cm
- Left/Right Margins 4.75 cm
- Indentation 8 pt
- Line Spacing Single, no extra spacing between paragraphs
- Sentence Spacing One space after stop (.)
Try to match sample Chapter 7 for details concerning heading spacing, etc.Figures
All figures should be in black and white with 12-cm width. Greyscale should be between 15% and 85%.
If there are multiple discrete greyscales, use 15% or 20% increments.
Labels within figures should generally be 9-point Ariel (8-point for smaller text). Use a minimum 0.5-pt
width for line diagrams and a minimum 600 dpi resolution for scanned images.
Given the nature of the text, it is expected that many figures will have the form of stock/flow or causal
system diagrams (e.g. Figs. 7.2 and 7.3). If you use such figures, make them consistent with Chapter 7.
The contributors to System Dynamics chapters are free to use captures of Vensim-generated images.
